Fannish Items of Interest

The trailer for The Woman In Black. Not a fan of Daniel Radcliffe, but it looks nice and creepy. Is the original worth tracking down?

Two clips from Let’s Kill Hitler.

Listen to Roddy McDowell as Peter Vincent and Chris Sarandon as Jerry from Fright Night, singing a duet of Amy, Awake.

Today’s Dimestore Dames focuses on Kitty Pryde. It was actually Kitty that got me interested in comics—I believe my first issue of Uncanny X-Men was the one where she found Lockheed on the Brood homeworld. I was 2, meaning I’ve been both a Kitty Pryde fan as well as an X-Men fan for 28 years.

A fan tells how he is creating the Indiana Jones World Map.

For Rifftrax Live, at the theater I went to we had a grand total of 6 people—and that’s counting me, and counting Dad. Having a brain fried from attempting to tackle a strange computer issue for over 7 hours (involved a Windows Update gone wrong, and something with Spyware Doctor, seems to be fixed as of yesterday evening--periodic breaks for logging saved my sanity) is not particularly conducive to enjoying either the experience or a birthday as a whole, but it was quite nice. Satellite News has a place for detailing your experiences here.

Our theater had a grand total of 9, unless someone sneaked in after it started. The theater folks weren't paying good attention, so it took 3 occasions of steaming out to ask WTF? and get things going again, but we all got two free passes for regular movies.

That said, it was fun and we laughed a lot. "Be right there."
