I have, as of this morning, become addicted to Twitter. This is not great, on account of how it turns out that for someone like me, who will click things and follow stuff forever just to see what’s up (like the Elephant’s Child, I have an insatiable curiosity), Twitter is like heroin. My productivity today has crashed. BUT if you want to follow me, I can be found at firefaunx.
HOWEVER, the good thing about this is that I am following Neil Gaiman’s tweets, which has led to information that I actually want (as opposed to information that confirms that people I vaguely know, friends of sortof friends, are in fact jackasses and icky skanky morons).
First info: One of these days they are going to make Death: The High Cost of Living into a movie. I think this will kick ass. Although there are no real pieces of information on casting, timeline, whatever, there is a tiny tiny buzz that Emmy Rossum might be inolved. I can’t emphasize HOW tiny it is. Most people know her only as Christine in Phantom of the Opera or Jake Gyllenhaal’s girlfriend in Day After Tomorrow (feh), but her best work, and the film that I think shows she might be great as Death, was in Songcatcher. Boy that’s a great movie, although I am the only person I know who has actually seen it (odd).
Second info: Neil Gaiman, on his tweetings, said to go watch the trailer for The Moon. So I did. And my head exploded, in a good way. I hadn’t heard of this film before, and it looks amazing. So now I am passing along his sageness.
Pax, dear readers. And go tell your friends I’m here.
