I'll probably rent it just for Gary Oldman, who am I kidding?

Watched a review for the Book of Eli, that new Denzel movie that looked so awesome. MovieBob gave away the big answer to, omg, what is the book? in his review. I'm really glad he did because now I don't have to see that movie.

Two questions, FList.

1. So Fly wants me to expand my Otacon/Tenth Doctor snippet into a full fic. My initial idea (because I am unoriginal and turn to Adams for all my ideas on outer space) was to have them go to the Starship Titanic before its Spontaneous Critical Existence Failure, making the fic MGS/DW/H2G2. Apparently, the actual DW show did this right before the Martha arc? Can anyone tell me a little about that episode? Was it based on Douglas Adams' work (ie: all the robots with wacky AI, Leovinus the creator, the parrot, the talking bomb, etc?) because if it wasn't, I think I'll write it anyway because I love the concept and the PC game and the Terry Brooks book that went with it.

2. So while cleaning out the living room, I totally reorganized out video and gaming shelves. In the process, I took out all the old VHS tapes we have because Mum and I have not owned a VHS player in +5 years and haven't owned a working one in longer.

I have NO IDEA what to do with these tapes. I was wondering if anyone wanted some. No strings attached, I just feel bad throwing them out. I'd be willing to pay shipping even as long as it's not super expensive (and I very much doubt it would be). Here's what I have:

• Star Wars Trilogy (the original, not the shit one. also, I believe these tapes came before Lucas fucked with the editing on the original, so Han Shoots First in these IIRC)


• The Mummy/The Mummy Returns


• Jurassic Park 1 through 3


• Lake Placid (do NOT give me crap about owning this, I fukken love this movie. it's stupid but it has Bill Pullman and fukken OLIVER PLATT okay its hilarious and I wish I owned a DVD of it, not kidding)


• Interview with a Vampire (never opened)


• Independence Day (okay actually I cannot find the tape, but the case. hm....)


• Miss Congeniality


• Legends of the Fall (also in original packaging, never opened)


• Galaxy Quest (if you have not seen this movie and own a VCR, tell me, I will send it to you. you must see this film. funniest shit ever.)


• Apollo 13


• Hope Floats


• The Matrix


• Pulp Fiction


• Silent Movie (that Mel Brooks flick in which the only spoken line was given to that one mime dude)

Yeah, I grew up on trashy action adventures (all the romantic stuff is Mum's). No surprise there. Also I have no way to rewind these so, um, yeah. Just saying. I doubt anyone wants 'em, but just in case, yanno. Does anyone know what I could do with these things anyway?

PS: holy shit I gashed open my thumb and I'm bleeding everywhere when did that happen.... and why do we not have any band-aids in the house.

(no subject)

Okay so Conan is being yanked of the air and was royally fucked by NBC. He has three days left.

So he's introducing new comedy bits that not so much funny as they are expensive to stick NBC with the pricetag. So he introduces the Bugatti Mouse. It's the world's most expensive car dressed like a mouse with whiskers and felt ears. The car costs 1.7 million dollars.

It comes out onto stage and starts playing the original master of the Stones' "Satisfaction."

"Funny?" Conan says. "Not really. But crazy expensive!"



1.5 million dollars for a forty second bit.
