A Hodgepodge of Links
For those of you that haven’t already seen it, here’s the latest trailer for The Dark Knight. I think I’ll actually go see it when it opens in July.

scans_daily someone has posted an article that tells about an X-Men movie that was almost made in 1984. Professor Xavier could walk, Jean was nowhere in sight, and the word mutant was never used.
Also, it looks like years of tracking down any book that even barely mentions Dracula paid off. Over atwhatwasthatbook, someone was in need of help finding a very obscure book. It turned out to be a series of books by Robert Lory. Titles like Dracula’s Brother, The Hand of Dracula, etc... It’s not even mentioned on Wikipedia. From what I remember, they weren’t that great.
The “Because We’re Awesome Drabble-a-thon” is being hosted bymedie. Quite a few fandoms--including the Buffyverse, Doctor Who, Firefly, Life on Mars, Torchwood, and many others--are included. The prompts list is here, and it’s divided into sections--so if you don’t see what you’re looking for in one, go on to the next one.
And, finally, a meme taken fromsarkywoman.
If you would be so kind, ask me the seven questions below. Just copy and paste them into a comment, replace the blanks with anything you want -- personal, silly, surreal (e.g. 3. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), or deep or fandom-related -- and I'll answer honestly as I can! Then post this in your own LJ and see what kind of things people want to ask you!
1. What do you think of _____________ ?
2. When did you last ____________?
3. __________ or ___________ and why?
4. What did you ______________?
5. What's your favorite ______________?
6. How would you ______________?
7. Who would you most like to ________ ?
Edit: Is Insanejournal down for anyone else right now?

Still optimizing the database, this should resolve the issues we've been seeing. I will have the site back up shortly
