I was trying to figure out what annoyed me about this article about Warehouse 13 (which, admittedly, I've never seen) (also: SPOILERS) and then I figured out it's directly related to this awesome graph, and that is: the article suggests that the reason women don't watch a lot of science fiction shows is because of the subject matter, ie. space and spaceships and aliens (or that there's something wrong with them if they do.) Really, what's wrong with those shows is that they're such male universes, populated by men who interact with other men, wherein women are defined entirely by their relationships with said men. How can we relate to something we're not even a part of? You need to change who you're writing in order to change who you're writing for.

So, hey, weird: all my e-mail notifications were actually turned off, even though I hadn't turned them off myself.

I saw [livejournal.com profile] ozfinn and [livejournal.com profile] buffiness today. We went to Koko Black and hung out for a few hours. It was lovely and civilised. Also, I've gotten some cleaning done.

I'm casting 'Good Omens' for the next [livejournal.com profile] picspammy challenge. I've only got Aziraphale, Anathema, Shadwell and War cast so far. I have ideas floating around in my head for Crowley, Madame Tracy and Famine, but the only person I can think of for Newt is now 68, so clearly out of the running.

There will be a Buffy Season 9 in comic book form.

Go join [livejournal.com profile] lotr_lims. It's pretty great, very consistent, one of the best LIMS challenges I've done - and I've done a lot.

Real life:
  • Interviewed for the director position I want today. I will be so bummed if I don't get it, seriously. I don't think the interview went as well as it could have, I was tired and not feeling well.

  • Puck isn't letting me get much sleep, but he's so damned cute. He does this little butt wiggle before he pounces on things, and it's adorable. Also, he's quite cuddly. He keeps scratching me, though, mostly by accident - trying to get up on my lap and things like that. I'm covered in scratches.

  • It's really fucking hot.


  • Glee:
  • Go join [livejournal.com profile] gleeverse, it's fun. It's one of those game communities where you're on a team and you do challenges. I'm on Team New Directions, because clearly the Glee kids are the best.

  • Woo! 'Glee' officially renewed for a second season! I'm sick of seeing "I love Glee, even though it's flawed" everywhere. Quit qualifying your love. 'Chuck' is flawed. Hell, even 'Dollhouse' is flawed. I think there's only three genuinely flawless seasons of television I've ever seen.

  • Casting spoilers. Seems everyone ever in a musical is getting in on the show.

  • New HQ pomro pics.


  • 'Chuck' season 3 premiered strong. I've watched the first, I'll watch the second tonight. It's such a fun show.

    Jossverse:
  • As linked by Maurissa and others: Commentary!: The Musical’: The Commentary. It's available on iTunes, btw.

  • The Dr. Horrible gang at PaleyFest, talking about making Commentary!
  • Scott Allie explains the accidental reveal of Twilight from Buffy Season 8 (MASSIVE SPOILERS). I'm actually really relieved, because for a while there it looked like it might have been someone that would've made me much more upset.

  • Bradley Whitford talks 'Cabin in the Woods'.

  • The Truth About Dollhouse's Evil Mastermind: his name is Tim Minear. Kidding. Kinda.

  • Seven Stories Concerning Joss Whedon - or - The Road to Damascus.

  • 'Firefly' to live on in new book of short stories.


  • James Gunn's new movie 'Super' will star Nathan Fillion, Linda Cardellini, Rainn Wilson, Liv Tyler, Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon and others and looks...well, weird. I mean, it's James Gunn.

    Stacks of new promo photos from 'Star Trek' that are AWESOME. They're the base images for the amazing posters!

    [livejournal.com profile] gqmf_awards is an off-shoot of [livejournal.com profile] ontd_startrek and it's kinda awesome.

    Spider-Man 4 Scrapped; Sam Raimi & Tobey Maguire & Cast Out; Franchise Reboot for 2012. Um. WHAT?

    Very entertaining trailer for 'The A-Team'. If you have a problem and no-one else can help you...get Bradley Cooper shirtless. Hey, it won't solve your problem, but you'll probably forget about it for a few minutes anyway.

    GO VOTE in this HBIC poll. I'm glad Zoe's doing so well, but sad that Veronica is losing and the only person I would never vote for is winning by a landslide. What is that?!

    Is "NCIS"'s Pauley Perrette the coolest straight person ever? I don't know, she let them make her spout some pretty closed-minded shit in that episode of NCIS with the transsexual in it. She's always seemed pretty awesome, but there's still that. And there's some...she says she supports the separation of church and state, but also implies in one of her statements that going to church can be equated with good morals.

    US singer Chris Brown has been sentenced to 180 days' community labour and five years' probation for assaulting pop star Rihanna. He attacked her because she's a woman and he terrorised her and he doesn't have to jail. And she got back together with him. UGH.

    2009 Portal Awards winners. Best Actress: WHAT? WHAT?!? Mary McDonnell should've OWNED it. And it appears I am mostly alone in not loving Monster at the End of This Book. Yay for Star Trek, though!

    TWOP photo galleries: Familiar Faces in New Roles and Watch, DVR or Skip. I went through these at [livejournal.com profile] baldie_troll's place last night - there's some more fun links down the side there, but there's a bit of repetition of opinions.

    The Best Fall Gay TV Guide Ever! GLEE. I LOVE GLEE. I didn't know Jane Lynch was out. (Or Kevin Williamson, for that matter.) OR THAT VICTOR GARBER WAS GOING TO BE ON IT. WHAT? Also, can we not have anymore Wincest jokes, please?

    Speaking of Glee: Cory in Philly (I kind of love him), new promo, the whole Q&A in Houston, Lea Michele in NY Mag, promo with SYTYCD. I loooove that they're pairing those shows up.
    ETA: KEVIN MCHALE WAS IN A BOY BAND.

    Dollhouse Season Two Is All About "Murder and Sex". Loads of teasing spoilers, but my favourite is this, from (of course) Fran:
    They start right in with some crazy stuff. Tim Minear has crazy stuff in store. And Jed [Whedon] and Maurissa [Tancharoen]'s episodes are out of this world.

    Given the way Epitaph One turned out that doesn't surprise me AT ALL. I can't see the videos, though.

    Patton Oswalt interview - he talks Caprica and Dollhouse:
    [The networks] have got plenty of Law And Orders and CSIs, so why not use those to finance stuff like Reaper or Dollhouse, where the people who watch shows on DVD or iTunes can just gobble up the whole giant Dostoyevsky novel that it’s trying to be? Have some balance, for God’s sake.

    He goes into detail on Joss's style of work and Buffy plots, so he's obviously a genuine fan. And he goes on about how TV is generally better than movies right now and generally makes me go "You tell 'em, Patton" a lot.

    Eliza interview.

    I went to see Wicked and Avenue Q in Melbourne this weekend. Wicked was AWESOME. Seeing Defying Gravity live was so brilliant, and I had BRIGHT GREEN ALCOHOLIC SLUSHY and I got a green t-shirt that says "Defy Gravity" across my boobs. I may post a picture of me wearing it later. The girl who played Elphaba was fantastic, and Millsy was hilarious. He was terrible, but oddly adorable at being terrible. Like he didn't care that he sucked at singing, dancing and acting. TBQH he probably doesn't. Avenue Q was brilliant too. I'd never actually seen "You Can Be As Loud As the Hell You Want" so that was a bit of a surprise, but hilarious. I was crying with laughter by the end of it. All the actors were great. Also, we went to TGI Friday's, and a reeeally good Thai food place, and I will be full for a week but the food was so good.

    Why our 'amazing' science fiction future fizzled. It's an interesting read, but the perspective on science fiction is very narrow - it's really just using it to get people to read the article about the lack of practical applications of cool inventions (OMG TELEPORTATION EXISTS!). Science fiction, whether positive or negative, is not (solely) about cool gadgets.

    Apparently I have my cranky pants on today. Also, my thumb is itchy and I don't know why.

    To the Kuzuis: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Talk of - I kid you not - a 'Buffy' reboot. To copy/paste from what I said in [livejournal.com profile] truffle_shuffle"s post on the matter:
    There's only a million things wrong with this idea, and comparing it to Star Trek is just INSULTING. How is that even comparable when Buffy has only been off the air 6 years? If it were closer to 30 years, then maybe. Maybe. And only if those fuckwads the Kuzuis had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
    Meanwhile, here's the Whedonesque post if you want to talk about it. The basic idea seems to be relaunching with just Buffy the character, and nothing from the show. So...the original movie 'relaunched'. Have they SEEN the original movie? Star Trek had all the original characters, a storyline that made the new franchise work, a damn good team behind it, and...oh, yeah, Gene Roddenberry is no longer with us.

    Angel vs. Torchwood, with the link title 'Plagiarism or homage? You decide.'
    Seriously? Are you kidding me with this shit? Comparing Doyle to Suzie?! The other ones are bad, but DOYLE AND SUZIE? GTFO.

    In order to reposition himself as a loser after temporarily being awesome enough to mention Muhney on his blog, Perez Hilton has a hissy fit because Fierce Adam refuses to actually say he's gay. His loyal followers all attack him in the comments, it's well worth reading.

    There was a horrible snarky article about Dollhouse that made disparaging comments about Joss linked recently on Whedonesque, and I was going to bitch about it now as I'm on a roll, but I've lost the link. Oh well.
