Last night was fun...

So, Dr. Starlight, or Starlight as she's called now, has been made. Svetlana Ivanova is a rather sad person, it seems. Or rather, she's very sad concerning the subject of her ex-husband. I think it will be great fun playing Brian's character's ex-wife. "Since when are you a bellboy?" Yeah. This should be fun.

The Ducks won last night! The series is tied 2-2! Wooooo!

What else? I seem perpetually about 30 minutes behind where I think I should be in my day. Somehow it got to being 7:30 this morning before I got out the door. I really want to work out this 4 10s schedule too. Silly HR.

And I'm going to try to do the same crunches that apesyle is doing. I'm good at crunches. And excercise is good, right?

Movies... and other stuff.... La la la la....

Is there ever going to be a good movie from a video game? I don't know but they're trying again - Gaga Communications announced Monday that it has inked to turn another Capcom game, "Devil May Cry," into a blockbuster. The deal is based on an exclusive rights option agreement.

Variety reports the following: "It's down to dotting the 'I's' and crossing the 'T's," said Universal's Stacey Snider about bringing the musicalized B'way production of Mel Brooks' "The Producers" to the screen -- where it all started. "We're planning on it," she said "and with the same creative team." That means Brooks, his co-writer Thomas Meehan and director Susan Stroman. And the original co-stars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. No deals have as yet been made, but she enthused, "We want to make it a film event the way he made it a Broadway event." (Brook is going to take something else to Broadway - Either Blazzing Saddles or Young Frankenstien next.)

Variety also reports the following: Michael Mann will next direct the DreamWorks drama "Collateral," and he has Tom Cruise in his crosshairs to play the lead role of a contract killer.

The June issue of Cinescape has an exclusive interview with Iron Man producers Don Murphy and Avi Arad, as well as screenwriters Alfred Gough & Miles Millar. Several new bits of information were revealed in the article. "In Iron Man, he's putting on a suit of armor that protects his heart – I totally get it," says Murphy. "To me it's always about, 'Can I see it as a movie?' So Iron Man works for me because of that very reason. He's not going to be Superman turning back the world. It's believable stuff." Writer Gough concurs, adding that "the intriguing thing to us [Gough & Millar] was (Iron Man's alter-ego Tony Stark) has an alcohol problem and he needs the suit to stay alive." Millar finds Iron Man to be "a very unique character in terms of he's not a teenager struggling with a superpower. ... he's like the Howard Hughes of superheroes."

Here is a review of the Canadian DVD of Brotherhood of the Wolf. Good movie. Go get it. Lots of gret extras on this disc.

And that's it for the moment.

Hillarious...

This is some pretty funny stuff. He's got commentary on TV, sports and Buffy at the end of it. *nods* I like it.

Recently I'm having dreams about life again. In my dreams I'm doing normal every day things. So normal and every day that I have a hard time remembering if they've actually happened or not. I'm also having strong deja vu moments again. Last night I had one that went on and on. Strange.

I'm thinking too much.

Finished reading....

So, I just finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray.

( I have a few things to say... )

Information for me...

Valentina Tereshkova was chosen to fly aboard Vostok 6, scheduled for a June 16, 1963 launch date. It is believed that her backup was Irina Solovyova. Tereshkova and Vostok 6 launched two days later, June 16, 1963, flying with the call sign Chaika (Seagull). Tereshkova followed the Vostok procedure of ejecting from the capsule some 6000 m (20,000 ft) above the ground and descending under a parachute. She landed near Karaganda, Kazakhstan, on June 19, 1963. Her flight lasted 48 orbits totaling 70 hours 50 minutes in space. She spent more time in orbit than all the U.S. Mercury astronauts combined. Valentina Tereshkova received the Order of Lenin and Hero of the Soviet Union awards for her historic flight.

It wasn't until 1982 that the next woman flew in space. That was Soviet cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya, who went into space aboard a Soyuz flight. On July 25, 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya became the first woman to walk in space. After graduation in 1972, Svetlana pursued a career as a pilot. She set world records in supersonic and turbo-prop aircraft. Svetlana set the record as the first female to fly 2,683 km/hr in a MiG-21. By 1972, she was licensed to fly an amazing 20 different types of aircraft.

With her father's support she was able to try for a record stratospheric sky dive at the age of 17. She jumped from 14,252 m and fell for 14 km before opening her parachute at 500 m. By her 17th birthday in 1965 she had completed 450 parachute jumps. At age 18 she began pilot training and enrolled in the premier Soviet aviation engineering school, the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI). By age 20 she soloed in a YaK-18 trainer.

The British Press called her 'Miss Sensation' in 1970 when she became World Champion as a member of the Soviet National Aerobatics Team at the world aerobatics competition at Hullavington.
