Well, an LJ error just deleted this really long comment I left here and I am too irritated to rewrite it.

Just go here to see Breaking In panel. Haven't watched it yet myself so quality may not be great:

I hate when LJ deletes your comment after you typed for like ever. When you do a post, at least it saves at random intervals, but sometimes my replies to comments are longer than my posts. <--I'm a talky kind of girl, had you noticed? Seriously, LJ has been sucking monkey butt lately ( ... )

Oh! I love the Stand! The first time I read it was during cold and flu season though and I spent lots of time freaked out and making sure everything was totally germ-free. :D

I've never seen the t.v. adaptation though. I'm allergic to such things. *g* None of t.v. or movie versions ever live up to the movie that plays in my head when I'm reading the story.

The Boy is interested in Source Code. The previews look kinda meh to me. The one we're both looking forward to is the one with the guys in the hats who are in charge of making sure the timeline stays the same or something like that. (I can't even remember enough of it to find the right movie dangit) All I can remember from the preview is these guys go through a door and it's this room full of computers or something and then when the guys chasing them open the same door it's a supply closet. Oh yeah, I'm coherent this morning. *g*

Of course, we were stoned out of our heads, but whatever. *snerk*

Of course you love it - it is the awesomest thing ever and you are smart! See, even at age 11, I was all ready for the apocalypse. It didn't make me fear germs, it made me rub my hands together in delight everytime someone sneezed. I mean, in general, zombies would be cooler, but I think a good plague is the way to go. Not that I would survive either way. 8)

See, I was 14 or so when The Stand came out on TV. Miniseries were not the normal thing back then, as much as they are today. So I didn't really know that it would be bad - I hadn't ever seen a TV adaptation before - except the BBC/PBS adaptation of the Narnia books, which yeah okay sucked. Anyway, how I learned not to trust television remakes was by watching The Stand. Of course, now we have HBO and Showtime and stuff, so miniseries is not the kiss of death anymore. Still, it was nice to put on as background noise while I worked - I was reminded of ( ... )

The Adjustment Bureau - yeah, that's the one. (I'm sure I'll forget the title in a day or so again *g*)
