amezriWhile searching for some Buffy DVD answer, I stumbled on these weird collections: The Slayer Collection (details here). As the reviewer points out... no one here is a Slayer except Faith. So. Um. Whatever. They're UK releases anyway, but still. Let me pick at the sleeve art for a moment. Buffy looks really daggy, except maybe on the Faith collection. Could they have picked a more unflattering Faith image? Or a wankier Spike image? It doesn't look like Spike, it looks like James Marsters: PseudoRockStar. At what point and time on the show di Spike ever dress like that? Never. Season 2, please.

Hee! An amusingletter from Wolvie to Supes article about Bryan Singer directing the new Superman flick. Which... wtf?? What about X-3?? " Superman, you are like the messed-up hot chick who can't keep a guy... Got quite a collection of ex-suitors there, don't you? (Say, do you keep their pictures on a wall in the Fortress of Solitude--maybe next to your Lois Lane shrine?--you nutball stalker.)"
SciFi admits it lied about the Shyamalan unauthorized biography. Uhm. Why did they have to admit anything? It's pretty damn obvious that it was a hoax from the beginning. A) Blair Witch style B) If it was really unauthorized, they'd have been sued before it made it to commercials. At some point NBC Universal bought SciFi, so of course now they're all freaking out because, ohemgee, SciFi LIEDED! *facepalm* Get over it.
Penny Arcade fun: "Oh, Spider-Man! You're so strong!" .. "You want to go get some hard cocks? I mean, dinner?"
Right. Going to go get ready for work. Stopping at best Buy afterwards to see if they have the LFNS2 set and possibly get a microphone/headset thingy so I can call NZ on Skype! OMGYAY!

*hugs his R2 DVDs*

Date: 2004-07-20 05:11 am (UTC)My second theory was an Asian issue. Region-Free and all. *shrug* Beats the hell out of me. Of course, I'm going to be pondering it all day. And me pondering things is never a good. Unless it involves burlap or horses named Farfignewton. (Oh, how they bastardized that spelling!)
