Herbert Lom has passed away at the age of 95. May he rest in peace. I remember him as Van Helsing in Jess Franco’s 1970 version of Count Dracula, as well as the lead role in the 1962 version of The Phantom of the Opera.

(There seems to be a slight cross-posting issue between here and LJ, so some people may get to see this twice.)

Last night I watched the first episode of Wonderfalls. I missed the first airing, because it was at the same time as Stargate SG-1 was on. All I can say is--Wow. It's almost too similar to Joan of Arcadia. Whereas Joan talks to God (Who appears as a normal person.), the girl on Wonderfalls talks to toys and stuffed animals and everyone thinks she is insane.

I was hoping I would like this show, but unfortunately I don't. On Joan of Arcadia, people don't think she's a psycho, because they can see the person she's talking to. On Wonderfalls, the girl hears things, and even she thinks she is insane. It's just too weird for me. And that's coming from someone who loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Shadows, and Angel.
