Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and the prospect of a four day weekend is always a promising one. I just need to figure out what I do wanna do. Not much in the way of gaming this weekend (The game that happens this Friday, I dropped out of finally. Saturday is my occasional play-by-AIM game that the GM who's now in Michigan is starting up again.), and...eh. I have a copy of X-2 I really want to watch, and some Evangaleon DVDs I have to finish watching. Of course, for the latter, it's been so long since I could sit down and watch it that I have to remember what happened beforehand.
Got a call today from a customer, who had the company name of United Grinding. Proof of my willpower is that I heard that and kept a straight face. :)
I'll post the link I know of later, but the good rumor of the week seems to be the one about Family Guy going back into production. Add to that the domain name 'familyguymovie.com' was recently purchased, and I find a sense of balance in the world. This way, I can drag certain friends of mine to it, and say 'Oh, no, if you and the Prole Patrol can drag me to see South Park, you're coming to see this.' If there is a movie, that is. Right now, I'm just freaking happy that it seems to be going back into production.
I guess it was the combo of the DVD's selling like wildfire and the reruns on Cartoon Network at night that did it. Now, all they need to do is buy the rights to air 'The Critic' and Kyle would be one happy little adult toon watcher, oh yes.
New comic day. Also, New New X-Men day. Should everything be righjt with the world, perhaps this issue involves the X-Men smacking down the Special Class a lot, again and again and again. Tee hee. Xorn. Tee Hee.
Uncanny X-Men...usual method of reading. Ignore anything without Juggernaut or Lorna in it. Usually makes for an okay read, done that way. Everyone hates Austen, but remember the writer before him? You don't? Point proven. :)
I've come close to doing the 'ten unpopular opinions I have' meme, except for a few things. One: I'd have to do lists for different things (movies, comics, TV, gaming, people, RL, ext). And some of those opinions will...get me very very hurt and abandoned if I said them out loud.
As for me, it's almost lunchtime. Of course, I kinda forgot to make lunch last night and the cafeteria is closed. Now, we learn how to improvise.

I Remember! I Remember!
Date: 2003-11-26 12:51 pm (UTC)The "Family Guy" movie is in production for a straight-to-DVD special, probably out sometime next year. I came across that a month or two ago.
While not a fan of most of the Special Class, I do like Beak a bit. He has useless powers, but he seems like a decent enough guy, a fellow with a conscience who got hooked into something when a trashy girl found an interest in him despite being uglier than the Sugar Man. The rest are either obnoxious, stupid, or both. Most of them, including "Xorn" might have come off better if Morrison were better at character work than he is. Since he sucks at that, we're left with a bunch of vaguely defined good guys and some bad guys that look like they'd be best off just spraying graffiti somewhere rather than aspiring to world domination. A character like Xorn had potential, but like most of the X-Men, wasn't given enough to do before his unmasking (and I'm told if you go back and reread everything with Xorn in it before he revealed himself as Magneto, there are a ton of clues and foreshadowing involved that show maybe Grant's drug-addled brain knew what it was doing anyhow).
My copy of X2 arrived in the mail today, though I have no idea when I will be able to watch it.
