Back from Starfest
We went to Starfest this weekend, and saw Zachary Quinto and Adam Baldwin and Nichelle Nichols and Masi Oka and Nana Visitor and Nate Torrence! I also saw Legends of the Superheroes, so now I can say I did that and I never have to do it again...
I always learn something new and fun at Starfest -- true, it's usually something I could have learned from the internet if I had known to look, but still it is nice to hear upcoming movie news from a real person sometimes. This year's Most Fun Fact: Disney will be basing an animated film on a Phillip K. Dick story -- "The King of the Elves". That could be brilliant, or a train wreck -- of course, that has been the pattern for all the non-animated PKD movies so far too...
Oh, I just remembered, there has already been one animated PKD movie -- A Scanner Darkly. I haven't seen that; I should rent it. And look, it turns out I have a book with "The King of the Elves" in it, so I'll read that tonight, let you know if it is filmable (and toyetic too, I guess)...
