proggrrlGood news: I saw WAITRESS yesterday - what a funny, quirky, sweet little movie. This is independent American film at its finest. Nathan Fillion is perfect; Keri Russell is really moving. And I am truly sad, that the writer/director of this film, Adrienne Shelly, was murdered earlier this year - we have lost a talented filmmaker. Shelly knocked my socks off as Hal Hartley's muse of choice in his wonderful early features in the 1990s. With her untimely passing we have lost a wonderful actress and a filmmaker with so much promise. But please, see this movie, it's lovely. Also it has an unexpectedly wonderful supporting part played by Andy Griffith!
Bad news: this BSG series info from someone I can sort of trust, is sounding more solid than anything else I've heard this week. I know a lot of you in fandom are actually welcoming the idea of S4 being the end. Well for the record I am not - but if I can deal with the end of Buffy, Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Rome, and The Sopranos, I can certainly deal with this. It's a ways away now, so I can just forget about it for almost a year. What hurts the most at THIS MOMENT, is that we in fandom are aching NOW, while the decisions are being made. Some of us are sitting here NOW, wishing TPTB would chose to do it differently. We are powerless, and so entranced with this delightful universe that has been created, and we see so much more that could be done. That is just the life of a fan, ultimately, isn't it. If you do not make it YOURSELF, you cannot influence the makers. Today your fanfics just aren't doing it for me. This too shall pass. All of this has happened before and...
Good news: Self Made Man by Norah Vincent, is a great book I found via this post at, erm,anti_feminism . And yes, I cannot believe it either that I'm watching a comm called Anti-Feminism. But actually, it's fascinating and their self-definition is not what you'd expect. Also the book is excellent and very, um, helpful for those of us wearing womens' clothing.
Also, my friend went to Ron Moore's book signing (well, DVD signing) for his Nebula Award, and got to hobnob with him and MrsRon for a second. She said hello to MrsRon before getting on the signing line, and told MrsRon her online callsign from the SciFi boards. Then when she got up to the front of the signing line with (LOL) 11 DVDs to sign, MrsRon leaned in to RDM and whispered "she's one of ours," so that he'd sign all of it without hesitation.
MrsRon I lurrrrvvves ya!
