Watchmen Widget and obsession/geekdom thanks to Comic-Con 2008

In precisely 200 days, Watchmen will be out in theaters. I cannot wait, and here is the widget to count down the days. ;D



I went to the San Diego Comic-Con about three weeks ago. Ever since July 25, I have been obsessing over Watchmen because of the awesomeness of the panel that day. I love the whole cast Zack Snyder chose, and I can't wait to see what they bring to the movie. The actors were fun on the panel thanks to Billy Crudup joking around most of the time. Then of course, the highlight was the amazing footage Zack showed to us. It was incredible, and I can only wish it will be released on the DVD or something because it was a very cool montage with the haunting music of Philip Glass. Another highlight of that day was getting to wave to Billy Crudup and Patrick Wilson. :P I'm also obsessed with Billy now, thanks to this. @_@

The rest of the Comic-Con was nothing compared to the Watchmen day. However, I did get to go to the Supernatural signing and got Jensen Ackles' autograph. That was cool. I think the excitement of the Watchmen goodness surpasses everything else that happened at Comic-Con, though. I just can't stop thinking about that day. I am currently reading the graphic novel. I am almost done, and it is great so far!

OMGosh, I can't wait for 03-06-09!!! (Except I'll probably have to wait another two weeks until after my finals before I can see it.. x_x)

New! with Doctor Who and Torchwood reviews

Hello! Michelle here, bringing you reviews and updates about the things I love. Let's start out with Doctor Who and Torchwood (note it's an anagram of Doctor Who)!

I have just seen The Satan Pit last night again. I LOVE that episode and its counterpart episode, The Impossible Planet. For me, it was the most suspenseful and the best story in season two so far. I loved the interactions between the Doctor and Rose, and the Ood were cute. It's even better than most sci-fi movies when you watch both episodes together!



I also heard the soundtrack for the series, and it is GREAT! I love the exciting rush I get from listening to the songs - it's like I'm watching the episode again (kind of)! I wish it had some music that was in the series, but I didn't hear it in the soundtrack. Maybe I missed it since I haven't listened to the whole thing...



Torchwood is the spin-off of Doctor Who with Captain Jack Harkness and his new team of Torchwood 3 or something.. I forgot what number it is. x__x Anyway, it's a lot more of an adult show; whereas Doctor Who is family friendly, Torchwood is definitely not. It's got a lot more bad language, sex, violence, and gore... The characters that make up the rest of Captain Jack's team are Gwen (a former police woman), Owen (the doc of the team), Tosh (the tech genius), and Ianto (their receptionist and butler). I like Ianto because he's like me: shy/doesn't talk much, does stuff for other people.. even though he's emo. I like the angst. :P I haven't seen an episode I really like yet, but I can't wait to see the last one. Maybe Countrycide was my favorite so far. It was quite scary and everyone had an equal role, especially Ianto. He doesn't show up nearly enough in the other episodes except for Cyberwoman... Well, I leave you now with a picture from Countrycide.. ;) Until next time, the next update on a movie, show, artist, or actor.
