--- Speaking of Serenity, Summer Glau (aka River Tam of the Firefly-verse, in geek-speak) gave an interview to iF Magazine about her role in The Sarah Conner Chronicles - that Terminator TV series starring 300's Lena Headey as out titular buff heroine - in which Miss Glau plays the new killing machine out for Conner blood. It's a shame we know (since this series takes place between the first two films) that she doesn't kill anybody important, cuz I wanna be rooting for her.
--- Next Stop, Nick's Used Jockstrap - Nick of recent Big Brother fame is hawking his used bandanas on EBay. No comment.Also, Eric the Weasel is running around with his willy exposed. Sigh. Make it end.
--- In Remembrance Of Giallo - There's a nice piece up at EW.com remembering director Umberto Lenzi's 1970 giallo Black Belly of the Tarantula - I wish we still got titles that this - which I've already added to my queue; it sounds quite fantastic. Bond girls dropping like flies!
--- The Good Soldier - Trent Reznor was trying to get his Year Zero album turned into a movie; now it seems he wants it to be a TV series. For all y'all who don't know the concept album's, uh, concept, here's what BD says:
"Year Zero is set in a totalitarian future America ruled by a right-wing religious dictatorship. The populace is plagued by mysterious visions, the country's drinking water might be drugged and global catastrophe is near."
Not even to mention the giant hand that comes out of the sky every so often. I'd say this is the perfect vehicle for David Lynch's return to TV, right? Reznor's worked with Lynch before - he scored Lost Highway - so I say some phone calls should be made. Get HBO on this. I shudder with glee at the prospect.
