Dr. Horrible Act 2

I so wished Joss Whedon had gave that episode as a pilot to a network. It works ! I mean here you can see how a pilot should be done vs. that crappy Fringe pilot (I'm still sick to the stomach about the ten millions given to Abrams for that pile of very very average pilot).

I can so envisioned a tv series that is this silly right now, The Middleman is already half way there

Anyway, Act 2 is actually much better than act 1, at least for me.

I love the first song. and the last too :p

Neil Patrick Haris is a genius, Fillion is hilarious and Felicia Day is doing a_okay.

Can't wait for last part.

Now, I hope they do a CD or make the songs available to buy on the net.

Dr Horrible Act 1

So,

I get to the site and I'm discovering it's locked in for US people only. Thanks Hulu and stupid Itunes country based store

A few hours later, and after a lot of complaints from all over Europe, I finally get to see Act 1.

Let's say, it does sound a lot like Once More, With Feeling but it's very cute, the music is nice and the acting is very good. Fillion as an idiot makes me laugh a lot.
I'll be rooting for Dr. Horrible, of course

New Level and summer shows

That's what happens when you're trying to clean two episodes where someone added between 50/100 new crew people without trying to search the database. It's great when you have only one duplicate guide, but It happens I found several people with between 3/7 duplicate guides. Great for submissions levelling. Though I would have rather there was a fatsre way to do it. Cause after tagging all the duplicates, We will have to clean the two episodes : deleting the wrong entry and adding the correct one.

You guys can see what we try to do with our Union, that's where we pinpoint all the duplicates around here.

On another note, I kinda like the Middleman, it's completely silly and it's cheap and it's fun.

Today is for me the first day of the summer season, all of my shows are stating : burn notice, the closer, saving grace and stargate Atlantis. Only one I'll be waiting for is Eureka.

And god, In plain sight is really boring. I don't know what happened to fun shows, but this one missed the mark unlike Burn notice, Monk or Psych.

Teaser for the new Bond movie

Some were dead set against Daniel Craig. I personally never had a problem witht he choice and when I saw Casino Royale, I found my second favorite James Bond Actor. Just after Sean Connery, of course.

Not to mention, Casino Royale finally had a plot ! Thanks to Paul Haggis. Hopefully quantum of solcace will as well, though Haggis might had to rush it due to the writers' Strike

Anyways, enjoy the Teaser

Writers' strike = reading time

So, I guess we all found stuff to do while there was this little pesky strike. I personally went on a reading spree and read a lot of fantasy involving wizards, dragons, vampires, werewolves, oracles etc and some sex in the mix cause with vampires, there's always sex. Go figure !

So last year, I read the Dresden files by Jim Butcher, because of the tv show. The books are all excellent and I read the tenth book about a month ago. But I read also the Southern Vampire Series which are being developed by Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) for HBO under the title True Blood. Pretty good vampire series though the main character is a telepath. I actually am looking forward to seeing his take on the books because at first I wasn't that convinced there was that much material to do a real good series unlike under book series I've read like the Anita Blake, Vampire hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton.

But there is two series that i really loved : The Cassandra Palmer series by Karen Chance where Cassandra is a clairvoyant, who sees and talk to ghosts and has been brought up in a vampire family after the deaths of her parents. It's an excellent read, with a lot of time travel that still respect the time paradox. The 4 main character ie Cassandra, Myrcea the vampire, Billy the ghost (not the goat) and Prytkin the War mage are very well developed and each has his/her charm. The stories are very well written and it's a read through as in not putting it down books. It's completely action packed and there is never a dull moment.
The second series is Aisling Grey, Guardian by Katie Macalister where Aislin is a no nonsense girl who starts in the world as a courrier of antiques and learns that she's a Guardian and a Wyvern's mate (the mate of the chief of a dragon's community) and happens to summon the only demon with no master. The books are hilarious, the comic relief coming from all sorts of source whether from Jim, her newfoundland demon or her or something / someone else. I haven't laughed so hard reading a book as i have with these 4 books of the series.

So what have you guys been up to while the writers took their forced vacation ?
