This LJ is not locked. Rarely will I lock a post as there's not much personal stuff written. More than happy for people to friend me (I will friend back), especially if we share similar fandoms but it's not a requirement.

See user info for more fandoms. Some of my favs are below - excuse for pretty pics. And feel free to drop a comment on this post to say 'hi' if you add me.

Saw Bill Bailey at a charity comedy gig last night = awesome. Kevin Eldon and Simon Amstell were originally listed for the event but weren't there sadly. But no matter because the other acts were great, and the finale of seeing Bill Bailey duet with Chrissie Hynde for "You were always on my mind" Elvis number, Brilliant.

Also have tickets for first ever Jimmy Carr gig in December. *very exciting* :D

P.S. Look who missy_manic crossed paths with and managed not to fangirl (outwardly in their presence at least) last Friday. Sometimes London seems a small place!

Pegg fans take note, new trailer is now online for How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. Some have commented that it appears to give away a lot? swankyfunk - care to comment on that? As I know you saw a test screening for it:



It's not out till October so am sure I'll forget much of the above by then. What I see from the trailer, looks fun :D

Instead for once, believe these Hollywood-names and buy the below instead 'cos they're right:



RESS RELEASE: BBC VIDEO PRESENTS 'SPACED: THE COMPLETE SERIES'

FROM THE CREATORS OF SHAUN OF THE DEAD AND HOT FUZZ COMES THE AWARD-WINNING CULT COMEDY SPACED: THE COMPLETE SERIES
"The one, the only -- Spaced. Accept no substitute"
Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill)

New Exclusive Commentary By Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Bill Hader, Matt Stone, Patton Oswalt and Diablo Cody

May 5, 2008 - This July, the clever and edgy comedy series that started it all for the award-winning team behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Spaced will be available for the first time in North America in a new collector's DVD set from BBC Video™. From creator-stars Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) (Shaun of the Dead, Son of Rambow), this 3-disc set features all 14 surreal episodes of the award-winning show, described by Pegg as "a cross between The Simpsons, The X-Files and Northern Exposure." Spaced: The Complete Series will arrive in stores on July 22, 2008 for suggested retail price of $49.98. The prebook date is June 17, 2008.

"Spaced is utter brilliance. Constantly and amazingly laugh-out-loud funny and heart wrenchingly emotional, this is a series for, well, anyone who has ever lived," says JJ Abrams (Lost, Star Trek). "Watching Spaced is kinda like watching a Kevin Smith film if Kevin Smith had any real talent," confesses Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma). "I watch and re-watch Spaced from time to time to remind myself how good television comedy can be," says Matt Stone (South Park, Team America: World Police).

Boasting over eight hours of content, Spaced: The Complete Series features bonus material including the all-new commentary from Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, Bill Hader (Superbad, Saturday Night Live), Patton Oswalt (King of Queens, Ratatouille) and Diablo Cody (Oscar®-winning writer of Juno).

Among the many accolades Spaced, distributed by Channel 4, has garnered from fans and critics alike, Hynes won British Comedy Awards in 1999 and 2001 for her smart portrayal of moody writer Daisy. Additionally, Spaced received BAFTA (UK equivalent to the Emmy) nominations in 2000 and 2002 for Best Situation Comedy and an International Emmy Award nomination in 2001.

SPEAKING OUT ON SPACED

"The best thing out of England since Winston Churchill." - Seth Rogen (Superbad, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up)

"I laughed hard and I hate comedy." - Judd Apatow (Director of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up)

"Daisy Steiner is a revelation: a female character who isn't an accessory, martyr, one-dimensional fantasy object or humorless foil." "In a world of prefab TV pairs, Tim and Daisy are a miracle: He's an observant, whip-smart geek, she's a slacker-feminist icon, and together, they're as real as it gets." - Diablo Cody (Oscar-winning writer of Juno)

"Innovative. Witty. Hilarious. Spaced is the show we American comedians watch and say 'How the hell did they get away with this?! Spaced is the sole reason I bought an all region DVD player. Now you have no excuse! Buy this and you can officially be cool." - Bill Hader (Superbad, Saturday Night Live)

"Annoyingly good." - Eddie Izzard (The Riches)

"Spaced is a to-be-envied, to-be-cherished blend of pop culture heartbreak and genuine human hilarity. It's also a foolproof Idiot Test. Here's how it works: if someone ever tries to duplicate, replicate, or otherwise re-do this one-of-a-kind show, they're an Idiot! Aren't we all lucky to have such a thing in our world?" - Patton Oswalt (King of Queens, Ratatouille)

"Brilliant! Hilarious! The first TV show to combine my love of Star Wars, Evil Dead, and funny Brits. If I had grown up in England this show would be the documentary of my life... Although I think it already is." - Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel I & II)

"The wonderfully funny, outrageous and unique British television comedy series that manages to be both insane and sweet at the same time! A very influential show from the guys who gave us Shaun of the Dead" - John Landis (Director of American Werewolf, Blues Brothers)

"Spaced is too smart, too entertaining, and too hilarious for American television. When Americans get a glimpse of this mind-blowing show, they will take to the streets, demanding a reason as to why they've been deprived of Spaced pleasure for so long." - Mike White (Freaks and Geeks, School of Rock)

"The greatest television show in the history of television! The gold standard of geek cool!" - Harry Knowles (Ain't It Cool News)

Finally saw it. Lost count how many people on my f-list said they loved this movie. You were right. It was better than I anticipated and especially loved the first hour and the build up to the final suit design. Loved the humour in the script, and Downey is brilliant casting. Loved the line, "Yeah, I can fly."

Region 1 territories take note. buy this Spaced DVD finally getting released this summer. Click the link for trailer.

And Hot Fuzz has just been released in Japan.

Hope it does well :)

Not sure I like the title, but there is a new book to be published on Christopher and Dana Reeve in July:


Somewhere in Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve (Hardcover)
by Christopher Andersen (Author)

Hardcover: 352 pages
Publisher: Ebury Press (3 Jul 2008)
Language English
ISBN-10: 0091927668
ISBN-13: 978-0091927660

Synopsis
'Dana is my life force' - Christopher. 'Chris is simply the greatest person I have ever known. He's more than the love of my life. He's my best friend' - Dana. He was a hero in every sense of the word - the chiselled-from - granite star of four blockbuster "Superman" films and the romantic classic "Somewhere in Time" who, after being paralysed from the neck down in a freak horseback riding accident, battled back to become a symbol of hope for millions. Dana Reeve was no less heroic, standing steadfastly by her husband's side until his surprisingly sudden and unexpected death at age 52. When Dana, a non-smoker, passed away from lung cancer just 17 months after Christopher's death, she left behind their 13-year-old son, Will, to be raised by friends and family. Dana was only 44 years old. That fate could have dealt such a cruel hand to this golden couple seemed unfathomable.That they could endure it all with grace, courage and humour defied belief. Yet for all the millions of words that have been written about their public causes and private struggles following Christopher's accident, little is known about the lives they led as passionate young lovers.
Now Christopher Andersen draws on those who knew them best to examine in touching detail the Reeves' unique partnership and the romance, faith and fortitude that defined it. Sometimes heartbreaking, often uplifting, always compelling, "Somewhere in Heaven" is more than just a portrait of a marriage. It is the profoundly human story of two souls whose brief lives made a difference, a bittersweet saga of tragedy, triumph and loss, and - above all else - a love story for the ages.

Have had a nice weekend. Great that the weather held up. Had a bonfire last night, it was the perfect cool temperature and pretty twilight. Also finished reading two comics, Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life Vol. 1 and True Brit: Superman.
