[the Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec is finally making it over to U.S. stores]

Hey hey hey, the Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec is finally making it over to U.S. stores! Sweet!

I'm assuming from the utter lack of character dialogue in the trailer that the film is in english-subtitled French?

Who knows? The trailer wasn't much help there.

Personally, I would prefer subtitles, but I'm a purist who feels dubbing is of the Devil.

[you'll never believe who's in negotiations for the title role...]

Meanwhile, there's still more talk of a Toxic Avenger reboot, but this time you'll never believe who's in negotiations for the title role... I certainly didn't.

I wonder if they'll make him wear the pink tutu...

So, who is going to be the titular character?  The article says that he's in negotiations for "another lead role", but is "no Toxie".  I either missed something or their word choice has thoroughly confused me.

Huh. I think you're right.

Chalk this one up to me not caring enough to read the article. 

[NBC New Series First Looks:]

NBC New Series First Looks: Dracula, Ironside, The Michael J. Fox Show, Sean Saves the World, Welcome to the Family

• Dracula is full of win - so far my favorite footage from the new season. Could still go horribly wrong but that trailer's pretty encouraging.
• Ironside's interesting, and Underwood can carry a show, but this one doesn't really look like my bag.
• It's great to see MJF back on the airwaves, but I fear his show's going to teeter a bit too much on the precipice between amusing and sad.
• WTTF has a fantastic cast, for what that's worth, but nah. SSTW looks abysmal.

Fox New Series First Looks: Almost Human, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Dads, Enlisted, Rake, Sleepy Hollow, Us & Them

• Of those only Almost Human and Sleepy Hollow pass muster with me, and then only just. Dads has some small potential - maybe, as occasional background noise.
• Also, "cobra basket"? WTF?

[ROFL!]

I think that's Clayton and Koala debating the merits of FN 5.7 pistols.

::spit take::

ROFL!

That just about made my day. Thanks!

I'm not sure whether it's an encouragement to Pat to hurry up or slow down and watch the show.

Why can't one and a half be true? (All if the first and half of the second, that is. )

Would it be enough if you can play this guy?



Because we can probably make that happen - similarly to this...

Joyce Brothers

Hey Pat?

Can we make the sample characters and setting for Spycraft 3?

[singsong]You'll get to make yourself.[/singsong]

 

Heh. In all seriousness and since you asked, the default setting is shaping up nicely, but yeah, there should be an opportunity for you guys to get involved. Sample characters? Dunno. I'll noodle how best to handle those. There think there's some real potential for something fun there.

More as I know.

It seems some folks in the US got their DW season 7 pt 2 box early and have seen the The Doctor's Name; the BBC are begging them not to spoil it.

Awesome. Reason enough to avoid the internet. Sadly that won't be possible, so I guess I'll just have to be extra careful.

[The Blacklist]

U.S. upfronts are this week. Here's the first preview I've seen...

A full trailer is set to air during tonight's finale of Once Upon a Time.

A Crafty event in Portland?
What and when?

It's not an event. It's a summit, where Alex and I talk design and deep-think big topics. Not something we invite outsiders to, and honestly something that keeps us so busy we rarely see other folks in and amongst (in four summits up in Portland now, I've visited my local friends... not at all, actually. Hoping to remedy that with the next trip, but this one's too short, too focused, and too high-priority.)

Seminar was recorded last year. Can't help it if the videographer sorta dropped the ball getting us the footage.

We're looking into options for this year. We're not fans of simply releasing hours of seminars unedited, and of course neither Alex nor I have the talent nor the time to do t he editing ourselves. So we'll see.

Everything is being considered. Nothing is guaranteed.

[She Said, He Said]

Nightmare in Silver was fun. Not as mind-blowingly awesome as The Doctor's Wife but then, what is?

I am refraining from any and all previews for next week's finale. I simply do not want to know. Fortunately, that should be relatively easy given how bonkers my schedule is over the next week, what with another Spycraft Summit in Portland and various things to put down before then. In the meantime, however, I am not above watching the prequel webisode, which - after all - is intended to be seen first.

What's this, you ask? That's what She Said, He Said.

Congrats to Team Crafty!

Any hints on what the updated rules offer over the French version?

Not quite yet. We'll be talking rules a little closer to the show.
