I Am Link

.

--- Lee's Dawn - This rumor was out there a couple weeks back but I ingored it, afraid, oh I was afraid, but now it's coming from a more credible source and must be confronted - Lee Pace might be playing a character in the fourth Twilight movie. You know what... good for him. This'll get him a whole bunch of new fans and perhaps he won't have to do a Marmaduke sequel. Shudder.

--- Calling Candy Quackenbush - The third book of Clive Barker's wonderful Abarat series will be out in September 2011, says Clive Barker. (via Sean) I'm just glad I've got the third book of the Hunger Games books coming out at the end of this month to tide me over... well for a couple days, which is all it takes to read those, anyway. I guess I'll just have to get into George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire book series, also rec'd by Sean, to really tide me over.

--- Scott Is Not The One - So my bud Joe saw Scott Pilgrim yesterday and cue the big neon scoreboard blinking over our heads and the whirling VS. between us, cuz dude didn't like it. Here's my review from the other week in case you missed it; summary: I liked it. Quite a lot. I even broke out talk of generation defining! Oh hyperbole, my old friend. Anyway I'm being slightly unfair to what Joe's shared of his opinion so far because he mostly speaks of what he did like in the movie, all of which I agree with. If only it weren't for that second-to-last sentence he and I could still be friends, but oh well.

--- Yellow Fever - Dario Argento's Giallo with Adrien Brody is supposed to be so bad it makes you want to slash open your own throat halfway through to spare yourself, so it's with great excitement that I let 'all know that it's finally getting a DVD release on Oct. 19th.

--- Riddled With Consistency - I've stopped talking about Inception because the conversations just annoy and anger me now. I get it, and it is not profound. I keep reading articles about it though because I'm a horrible glutton for punishment. But here's a tidbit of solid factual information from an inside source that knows of what he speaks and can quiet some of the cacophony (emphasis on phony) out there.

--- Ponder This - Head on over to the Strange Kids Club to read a nice lil' interview with the internet's beloved Final Girl Stacie Ponder, and stay tuned for the shout-out she gives yours truly. Lil' ol' me! Thanks, Stacie! And the sentiment is reciprocated ten-fold.

--- As Goes Triceratops - I wonder if this has something to do with that dino being downgraded to baby status? Steven Spielberg's upcoming dino-show for FOX, Terra Nova, is going to air its two-hour pilot in May but then not start airing the show proper until the Fall. Because this huge break between episodes has worked so well for every other show that's gone that route. Ugh.

--- Juno 2 - Ellen Page grows up to be Charlize Theron? Wacky and weird! And not true in any way. But Theron is set to star in the next script by Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman might direct it, so it's sorta a Juno reunion, at least with those latter two names. It's called Young Adult and it's about a writer of young adult novels that tries to hook up with high schools friends and beau during a midlife crisis. Theron and Cody have me excited, but I'm taking a break from Reitman after Up in the Air proved so unworthy of all that attention last awards season. Me and David Fincher are just finally ending the same sort of arrangement after the Great Benjamin Button Fiasco of 2008.

--- Oh Tara - io9's recap of this week's True Blood episode is chock full of fantastically funny observations and screen-shots and should be read with much haste, y'all. Especially loving that shot of Tara's oh-so-subtle "Sookie read my thoughts" face there to the left.

And oh yeah this shot of Jason, of course:
