In lieu of original thoughts, have trailers and links!

I just completed the penultimate chapter of my Harvey Dent novel. With just the epilogue left to go, and at 64,000 words already, I've nearly finished my third complete manuscript.

Unpublished or not, shit, man, how many middling wannabe writers never even complete their first?



Danny and I hijacked Kali's LJ for an epic BENDIS-OFF, dueling posts trying to out-Bendis each other. Truly, it was a battle for the ages, right up there with Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith "Not David Keith" David.

Speaking of famous comic writers, I, along with several other people, proceed to disturb, confuse, and terrify Gail Simone by incessantly quoting FRISKY DINGO. Season two starts this weekend, yayyy!

A couple trailers that took my fancy, for very different reasons:

CASSANDRA'S DREAM

Wow. This... this looks great. I mean, I just speak as one who really hopes MATCH POINT wasn't just a fluke, that Woody is reinventing himself in his Golden Years. He showed so much more vitality and vigor in MATCH POINT than any film of his I've seen in years (even the good ones, which--like the work of Stephen King--get ignored amid all the crap!), and I certainly hope he can pull it off again with CASSANDRA'S DREAM.

On the guilty pleasure side of things:

HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO AMSTERDAM

I still feel like I should be ashamed for enjoying the first one as much as I did. Truly, it was a guilty pleasure. And I cannot wait to take my Mom to see the sequel. Someone put me out of my misery, I beg you.

Harold and Kumar is awesome hilarious. There should be a category of film know as "pot humor movies" -- because there are so many classics -- Friday, Half Baked, Harold and Kumar, etc. Don't feel guilty -- I mean do because it's a guilty pleasure -- but there is a reason it hurts so good ;)

Well, while I imagine that watching it stoned certainly couldn't hurt, I think it's kind of a testament that it holds up perfectly well on sober minds.

Certain other things don't have that luxury. Half of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE, I'm looking sqaurely at you...
