My weekend...

I had a NorWesCon. They're all... hmmmmm... All NorWesCons are fun and hanging out with friends and revelations and missed opportunities and getting to see people you don't usually see... For me they're usually all about the conversations had with people.

And I had a few.

And I realized there are people I'm missing more than I thought. I had a moment, a mental glitch, on Saturday night that pulled a lot of things into focus for me. It can be odd, some times, that you realize how much things are going right simply by the strangeness of them when they go wrong.

Thank you very much to Luke and Brian for the kind words and concern behind them. I love you guys too. I'm very blessed by the people in my life.

The Highlights:
- Hol and Silent Kat was awesome. We need to work on it, though. It needs more... something. Probably obnoxiousness and I think my mannerisms could use polishing. Those who got it, though... Heh.
- Holly's dress was AMAZING.
- Hanging out in general and in specific meeting new people who fit in wonderfully.
- Ian came to con and had himself an excellent time. That makes me very happy.

The Lowlights:
- No boardgames for me! Sad!
- Aches and pains and general out of shapeness. Angel, we need to finalize plans here.
- Not enough time with anyone.

Updates .... DUN DUN DUN

So it seems it wasn't an April Fools report - Joss Whedon is actually on the short list for directors for The Avengers. It is an interesting choice as it isn't really the sort of property I'd usually associate him with. Then again, that could be a bonus.

At WonderCon this weekend, Geoff Johns was VERY tight lipped about DC movie properties hinting, though, that there would likely be something said in San Diego. The Flash is still in development, scripts have been solicited and Wonder Woman is pretty much where it has been for ages and ages.

The Smurfs started filming this weekend.

It looks like Megan Fox might be Red Sonja in the new Conan. I'm a little disappointed if this is so. That would be the first bit of casting I haven't liked. Then again, I'm not sure if there would be someone who I would be excited about being Sonja.

Keira Knightley and Alice Eve are both up for Peggy Carter in the Captain America movie as Emily Blunt has passed on the role.

The Resident Evil: Afterlife trailer can be found on the website: http://www.residentevil-movie.com/ Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter are both very hot and this looks to be very .... well... Matrix like. It'll be pretty.

Ryan Reynolds is just all over the comic book movies as he's now also signed to do R.I.P.D. - essentially about the police department for the dead. Interesting stuff.

There is a TON of Iron Man 2 stuff but I'm sort of shutting down what I'm looking at as I would like some things to still be a surprise when I get to see it in a month.
