Day Eighty Three: Linky Linklater.

Firstly, an apology for James' incomprehensible gibbering yesterday. I don't even know what the hell that was, but it does offer a chilling reminder as to why I should never leave James unsupervised with my computer. Not only did he leave a collection of even more aimless ramblings than I normally do, but he also decided to download gay pornography onto my computer. Because he's a lovely human being.

Secondly, fuck all headlines like this. Everyone pissing and moaning about the snow just serves to remind me that here in Norwich we got the slightest dusting of snow which then melted overnight, whereas back home in Essex, Matt is playing in half a foot of the stuff. Although, I must admit, watching some of the BBC's responses to the bad weather is pretty amusing.

Also, I recently got sent this link which shows that 55 remakes of Hollywood movies are in the works at the moment. I mean, I don't really mind remakes just on principle, but Jesus. Every single film on this just makes my brain ache with rage. Obviously, movies only really exist just to make a profit, let's have no illusions on that count. But damn, do they really have to be so fucking blatant? It's bad.

And finally, the hype machine is starting to warm up for Watchmen. We've got wicked cool trailers, and some fucking fantastic little videos on the Youtube as well. But man, the thing I'm geeking out about most of all is The New Frontiersman's website. All of this alternate history is right there, and the article on Woodward and Bernstein's murder causes me to get impressively erect. I'm very, very excited for this.
