ARGhhhhh!

It’s ARG day!

Let’s start with this:

Isn’t that the weirdest book ad you’ve ever seen?
Especially when there’s in it Joss Whedon, Damon Lindelof and Brian K. Vaughn!
I bet you want to know more.
Let’s hope it’s not another “Da Vinci Code” wannabe.

Speaking of ARG, the third Lost ARG, AKA “The Project”, began a day or two ago: it is total failure.
Everyone has been waiting for this one, especially after that video at Comic-Con.

It finally starts and what do we get for our wait? Lousy tests.
Damn you DHARMA!

In non-ARG news, there’s this promotional site that CBS and Sho oppened to promote Dexter and where you can find out if you too have a killer instinct…or not.
But don’t forget, as the website states on the bottom:
“This website is for entertainment purposes only. It is not a scientific, diagnostic or therapeutic tool.“
Who would have known?

Did you know I had a Furby?

I’m probably the only person that hasn’t seen yet The Dark Knight, although to be fair the movie just came out today here in France.
I hope to see it (again?) when I’m over the Atlantic on a giant Imax screen but for now I’ll try to watch it in 35mm.

Moving on.
Catching up on my shows, I watched yesterday the season 3 premiere of Psych.
I must say, this show is getting awesomer and awesomer as it goes.
I haven’t yet watched the other s3 episodes but from what I’ve read, it’s going to be as cool, if not cooler, as the premiere.

Shawn’s hair-do is also pretty “cool” (for the 90s).

Speaking of Psych, yes, this post’s title is a direct quote from the show.
In the s3 premiere episode, Shawn (re)discovers that he had a Furby when he was young (and other childhood artifacts).


I wonder how young he was when he had that Furby, especially since I have a Furby of my own and I’m barely 20 now.
And this brings us to tonight’s word.
This, as well as a blog comment, led me to think about (my) childhood toys and the fact that my room hasn’t changed in over 10 years. Fortunately I’m moving out soon but as I pointed out elsewhere, I have loads of (crappy) geeky stuff I haven’t used in a long long time (and probably won’t ever use again).
To name a few:
– Magic The Gathering cards. I have tons of them. So much so that a few years back I tried to evaluate my collection and as far as I’m aware, I have worth 1000€ of cards.
– Loads of Gameboy/Gameboy advance/Nintendo DS games.
– Star Wars: Attack of The Clones trading cards. Yes, for real.
– Buffy and Angel trading cards.
– “TV Based” books. And I’m not talking about the good kind, rather the commercial-type ones; you know, those based on the best TV shows ever.
– Marvel Heroclix boxset(s).
– Tons of TV/Movie figurines. Like those Battlestar Galactica ones.
I should also point out that I have never been to Comic-Con.

Damn you TV/Movie fanboyism and geekness!

Live from Avignon, it's Wednesday Afternoon!

You might be thinking:
“There’s a good chance that I won’t see this message the second after it’s posted, ergo it won’t be live, ergo this post title doesn’t make sense.”
And you’d be right.
Except the heat here (over 105°F!) doesn’t make things better for me and I have no idea what I’m writing basically.
I’m in a cyber café right now (1 euro per half hour, what a rip-off!) so I won’t be long.
Just to tell my long-time fans (read 1 month-old fans) that I’ll be back in Paris Sunday night.

In a perfect world, today’s post would read something like:
Life in the South of France is great. I got all my reading done, I wrote my 7-day movie script, I even wrote a spec pilot.

But this is not really how it goes.
I haven’t read a single page of that book I was talking about the other day and I have written basically 20 pages instead of 90 on my 7-day script.
I’ve been busy elsewhere. Mainly in my dreams.

Also, unfortunately I have no news about comic-con except I heard that the trailer for Watchmen came out a few weeks ago with Dark Knight. And I was not able to see Dr. Horrible’s Singalong!
Hopefully I’ll get all this done and more next week.
Yes, I’m an optimist…At least I hope.
