The thing wrong with vampires these days, is they all seem to have taken the wrong lesson from the Louis/Lestat conflict. Too many Louis' and everything gets boring and whiny and, eventually, creepy and not in the fun way. There are not enough Lestats or Armands.

There are also a ton of zombie things out there but, you know, I can't complain too much as I still mostly find them a good time. I haven't reached the point where another zombie movie makes me wince inside.

Two movie viewing notes. An internet pal is in from out of town. We're going to go see Zombieland on Tuesday. If you missed it the first time, here is your chance. (We'll be seeing the 8:10 showing.) Friday, I want to see Where the Wild Things Are. The Regal Meridian has a showing at 7. Does that work for everyone?

Some stuff. And you know. Some things.

It looks like Chuck might be coming back sooner than March. The rumors around NBC are that it might even be as soon as the end of this month. The first four episodes filmed are rumored to be 'the best yet'. I would love to get Chuck back early, even though I have more than enough TV to watch right now.

The Hollywood Reporter says Bryan Sings has talked to Fox about getting back on board with the X-men. While that makes me tentatively interested, I'd have to hear what he'd want to do with them before I was in support. And, well, there are four or five X-men projects spinning around right now. No certainty which he'd be getting involved with.

..... I'd forgotten the Wonder Twins were going to be on Sammville this season. How did I forget that? It also seems that the "Dark Archer" will be ... from.. a Celtic cult of assassins... Might he actuall be Merlyn? Also, you know, if you're interested in the JSA it is hinted that the JSA episode might well have a girl in it. Y'know, one who likes stars. As well as one who wears a helmet from time to time. I'd put my money on Fate there as in other places Jay's been said not to be appearing.

Bloomingdale’s have signed a deal with DC Comics to market and sell a line of DC Comics superhero-inspired clothing as part of DC’s 75th Anniversary Celebrations. I might have to find a Bloomindales for a look - cufflinks are serious business, folks. I'm not likely to be buying a $60 t-shirt, though.

I must remember to put this show on Tivo - http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/10/caprica-set-visit-photos.html

Variety reports that 20th Century Fox is working on the story of Moses. They're saying it will have a Braveheart feel to it. I wonder if that comes with the complete inaccuracies as well? I like the movie but man are we no where near history.

Brave and the Bold has the original OMAC and Hawk and Dove! Woooo! (Must check that this is also on the Tivo.)

And that's it for the moment.

Oi.

OMG! SCI-FI is all about manly men, you girls and gays couldn't possibly ever like /real/ sci-fi. Stop ruining it!

*shakes her head*

I am obviously not the target audience for this article. I get the feeling I don't want to meet that target audience, either.

Copied from the DCU blog directly:

"How big is Blackest Night?

So big that its power to make the dead rise has now moved from expired characters to old, canceled series.

That’s right, this January, the BLACKEST NIGHT mini series skips a month to make room for a very special Blackest night event. Eight classic titles from DC’s past will return from the dead for one month only to celebrate this mega-crossover throughout the DC Universe. Each series will pick up on its original numbering and feature characters from their original runs as they deal with the events currently unfolding in the DC Universe. And I have to say, this has been one of the more fun projects we’ve put together.

We scoured the list of series from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today to find the right titles to bring back from the dead. They are, in no particular order, as follows;

- POWER OF SHAZAM #48 Eric Wallace tells the tale in which Osiris returns from the dead to “chew the fat” with a very powerless Billy and Mary Batson.
- CATWOMAN #83 Fabian Nicieza has the original Black mask explaining to Selina why shooting him in the head was a bad idea.
- SUICIDE SQUAD #67 Gail Simone and John Ostrander are ringside for the epic fight between a very dead Suicide Squad and a possibly soon-to-be dead Secret Six.
- QUESTION #37 Greg Rucka has the one answer for when two Questions meet.
- PHANTOM STRANGER #42 Pete Tomasi reveals what Blackest Night means to the Phantom Stranger.
- WEIRD WESTERN TALES #71 Dan DiDio (weirdly talking about myself in the third person) lets you know what all the dead old west characters are doing in the new west today.
- ATOM AND HAWKMAN #46 Geoff brings you the double date from Hell, The Black Lantern Hawks work to reunite Atom with his long dead love, Jean Loring.
- STARMAN #81 James Robinson returns to the book he made great and visits some old haunts.

So there you have it! Eight great issues to show the amazing reach of this amazing story. And in case you are wondering why we skipped a month BLACKEST NIGHT, well, that’s just to give the immensely talented, and immensely overworked Ivan Reis a chance to prepare the over-sized final issue of this series out this March."

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! QUESTION! CATWOMAN! SUICIDE SQUAD.....

*runs around in circles until she falls down* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee!

Eeeeeeee! eeeeeeeeeeee
