Idris Elba fans take note. Elba is is taking over for Morgan Freeman in the next Alex Cross film.

use of the word "primitive", in the context of cultures, makes me racist because social scientists no longer use that word? huh. i guess i'm a racist, then.

good to know.

is HUGELY pleased that Torchwood has been picked up by the Starz network. HUGELY pleased. though, a bit bummed being that Starz is, i'm fairly certain, a pay channel, and that Torchwood will apparently no longer air on BBCAm


congrats to BBC for making the deal.

because, clearly, i'm slow and stupid, i'm just now reading Written by the Victors.

i continued to read after the slightly disorienting first paragraph because the premise was intriguing and looked well-executed.

i was toast by here:

"You know how they say, 'No man is an island?' Well, John Sheppard, he was an island. Completely detached, water on all sides of him. I never saw a guy who was happier to be working alone, in the middle of Butt Fuck, Nowhere. Sheppard didn't seem to need people; give him a solitary job and he was happy as a clam. But then, you know, he had this other side to him, because he was loyal like a motherfucker; if something happened to you, it wouldn't be your best friend or your co-pilot who came after you, it would be John Fucking Sheppard. He got nailed for it twice, maybe even three times. So, you know, it's really hard to say about Sheppard. On the one hand, he didn't seem to feel anything. On the other hand, he clearly felt too fucking much."

if you haven't read it, i highly recommend it. alot.

you know, like, highly.

while i seem to be on a gush for Doctor Who can i just comment upon how much love i have for the editing of the "Coming Soon" trailer at the end of 501?

d0od. seriously. bloody fantastic editing. so much motion in motion. wow. just, wow. having done a wee, wee bit of that, it is infinitely harder than it looks.

well done, Editorial.

finally watched the last 2 episodes of Dollhouse. wow.

especially the series finale. brutal and fantastic.

i would have liked to have seen the show continue, and yet, i think the direction of the second season, and specifically Epitaph Two, is a direct result of the show getting cancelled. so if that hadn't had happened, perhaps Joss might have continued towards the path of Epitaph One, which saddened me because it lacked the hope that underlies his shows.

so, strangely, thank you, Fox. perhaps he would have gone that way eventually, but maybe not.

hi. :D
