Abbreviated

A) I didn't' take that quiz. I have no idea how it ended up on here.

B) Zoo was fun. H&SFF? Dunno; we decided to "fuck this noize" after the third place asking for $20 event parking.

C) Browncoats shindig was enjoyable. Props to all there, particularly papajoemambo and redeem147, who found themselves to be kindred spirits. And a shout out to hico, zipping by on the Gardiner.

Hoo'd Win

Well, apathy, apparently.

I have a new one for next week. Much better. Biblical in proportion, almost.

You'll like it more.

Some of you will exult in this

But some of you will bitch endlessly. So I post it anyway.

This is from the last post was about casting a Fantastic Four movie in '65.

Directed by George Pal, with a script by Miles Malleson (based on Fantastic Four Annual #1).

Rod Taylor (or perhaps Micheal Rennie)- Reed Richards
Angie Dickenson - Sue Storm
Ed "Kookie" Byrnes - Johnny Storm
Broderick Crawford - the voice of Ben Grimm
"The Thing" himself would be animated by Ray Harryhausen

The villain of the first picture, after the origin sequence (told in flashback) after the team had successfully defeated the Mole Man's monster as per the cover of their first issue would be
Yul Brynner - Namor, the Sub-Mariner

leading an attack of stop-motion Atlantian crab-tanks into New York as per Annual #1. Its Yul's affection for Angie that saves the day, after Giganto has destroyed most of New York City.

Picture two would feature
Vincent Price - Doctor Doom

So if you found that fascinating (or at least interesting) join and give your love and/or brain sweat.

You have to know these people to get the comedy value, but the fact they 'cast' bnddbl07 as Frank and oakthorne and gwenix Brad and Janet is the greatest casting in human history.

adamjury as Riff Raff is actually one of those things that makes a bit TOO much sense.

Magenta & Columbie is also very, very amusing.

Lonely now

Well, if Air Canada is up to their usual punctuality (just ask muskrat_john about that, among others) Cynra should be about 5000 metres above me en route to Bonnie Glasgow.

Which, of course, marks the start of the longest separation we've ever had to endure. Three or four days is annoying enough, but 21 days on the other side of the pond? That's just plain annoying.

So, yeah. I'm here with Los Gatos for a while. Must remember to keep them and myself fed.

kynn, your package should be in the mail tomorrow. HOpe it'll lift your spirits.
