in which I attempt once again to do what demiurgent calls 'priming the pump'

Must! Resume! Blogging!

5 things that have happened since I got out of the LJ habit, in no particular oder:

• I went to see V for Vendetta with Igor and fly_nimue_fly. That were some good movie; I like explosions.
  
• I moved from my dinky little studio in Allston to a house in Somerville near Davis Square, where war_pug and dippy423 and Pete were already living.
  
• I spent an entire day hanging out and talking with the infamous John Greene, during which we walked all the way from Davis Square to Packard's Corner because it was a nice day.
  
• I took a road trip to Middlebury with war_pug and dippy423 to see human_typhoon perform in Into the Woods as the Baker's Wife. She was of course fantastic.
  
• I hung out with Jacqui and her friend Tracey, who were in Boston visiting sleetfall and seeing a Dane Cook show at the Fleet Center. We got pretty drunk and it was serious good times.

V for Vendetta

Oh no you don't! You're not getting off that easy. I mean, isn't this your favorite graphic novel?! (or am I thinking of someone else?...) Regardless I should like to hear about it from a standpoint of comic-to-film translation.

I still haven't seen it yet, but I plan to catch it on DVD. Up until about a month before release everything was looking truly horrible but apparently it came out a lot better than everyone had been led to believe.


Into the Woods

What a fantastic show... I played the Wolf in high school and had a great time. Oddly enough I was thinking about this show just yesterday and wishing there was a soundtrack album of it I liked enough to buy. (And how much I'd love to direct a movie one day, heh, heh.)

You're thinking of someone else. I've read the graphic novel, and enjoyed it, but its hardly my favorite. And the film is more of an adaptation than a literal translation; a lot ended up different, but as someone who was not fanatical about the book I didn't mind.
