I think she's brilliant and he solo album is one of the best albums of the last few years.

Maybe they'll change them both to fit with whatever they call the third one. I can just see it now...

I completely agree with both of your Alien comparisons. Pitch Black was fairly original and fun/scary. Chronicles was...I dunno, I thought it was good, but I really don't know how such a crazy story evolved from a relatively simple creature feature. I did really like the world-building in that movie, though. Crematoria sticks out in my mind.<br /><br />I still think Riddick is a great character. I'd read books about him if they decided to write such a thing. So I hope the third movie centers more on him than a massive religious crusade.<br /><br />Also, I'm still annoyed that the series now has the subtitle "The Chronicles of Riddick" (i.e. The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black") but that's the name of the second movie! Is it "The Chronicles of Riddick: The Chronicles of Riddick?!"<br /><br />I'll stop now.Knightfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390837840619877391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-14301292896422076282010-02-19T19:38:43.947+00:002010-02-19T19:38:43.947+00:00@Neverwhere - As I said on the Twitter earler, I&#...@Neverwhere - As I said on the Twitter earler, I'm afraid to say I had to cut a great swathe of Amanda Palmer-related bile from this post before publishing it.<br /><br />Believe you me, I'm outraged, but I don't suppose I'm in a position to comment on whether or not there's anything more to Neil Gaiman's relationship with her than a mid-life crisis wrapped up in a reasonably attractive package - superficially speaking, of course.<br /><br />Sure, that's what I think, but it's really not for me to say, and God forbid the poor man gets dragged any deeper into this disgusting spectacle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-29120325305932582052010-02-19T18:28:28.312+00:002010-02-19T18:28:28.312+00:00You forgot to mention the unbelievably insulting r...You forgot to mention the unbelievably insulting remark about how the only people who are upset by the EE project are Neil fans, new to her and her work, who 'ran screaming' to Unca Neil to complain about the bad, bad lady who hurt them. <br /><br />Because of course, 'real' fans know she never meant to hurt anyone, and understand the joke. And everyone else are just art banning nazis. No, seriously. <br /><br />I am FURIOUS with her statement (and with the way she's handling the concerns in general) for a number of reasons, but to make such disparaging remarks about her OWN FIANCÉS FANS insults not only them but Neil himself - after all, if his fans are so stupid not to understand things like 'black humour' and ART, she must not think very highly of his writing at all. <br /><br />Grrrr.
