The Clock is Ticking

Hmm, two months since I blogged. What's new? What hath Quicksand to say?

Three quick points, then you may click the "back" button without hurting my feelings:

(1) Everyone is gushing over "Sin City," which is easy to do because the books ARE awesome, and it's only the second movie with any kind of buzz to come out in 2005 (the previous being "Constantine"). Obviously, there are LOTS more for 2005, but they're slow getting here. Anyway, was I the only one annoyed by every actor and extra in "Sin City" appearing only in the foreground? No one else has a problem with this, all the negative comments on the IMDB were like "Oh, it's too violent," which is moronic, because it's rated R, and what more warning do you need? Were you expecting just harsh language? Anyway. Good fillmmaking, poor direction.

(2) Constantine was damn cool. Then I read a graphic novel. What the hell? They guy looks like the bastard love child of Sting and Jonny Lee Miller, the artwork wasn't that great (maybe that was just the one issue I picked up) and though some lines of dialogue were copied exactly for the movie, it just wasn't the same thing. Who do I ssee about this?

(3) I just re-read the "Hitchikers Guide to the Universe" novel. Which is something everyone should do. I'm all tingly about the movie; even if it sucks, it DID make me read the book again, which is never, ever a bad thing.

Go make all your friends watch "Firefly." I see on the main page that the episode "Trash" only has 7 reviews, and with the traffic this site gets, that just means there are people who haven't picked up their box sets yet. Naughty, naughty.

Just a quick reminder: You're all very sexy, and I'll see you in line at the movie. MMMMMmmmm.
