I've heard great things about the DVD, and I love "that charming microbudget BBC look" (like you had on the terrific "Ultraviolet" BBC series, did you ever see that?).
Only little snippets, I'm afraid. I'll have to catch it the next time the Sci-Fi channel has a break in its rotation of "Stargate" and "Boa vs. Python."
Awwwwwwww, you didn't like DELIRIUM? She's one of my ab fav characters of all time.
She's fun, yes, but I'm inclined to think that the recurring gallery of "Endless" may well be one of the aspects of the comic that struck me as terribly precious. For some reason, thinking back on the story, I don't have the same feelings about Dream's subordinates like the guy with the pumpkin head. But it's been a long time since I read it. (And the impressions I have are largely overshadowed by Pete Milligan's "Shade The Changing Man," which ran roughly simultaneously.)
You don't like the road trip Dream and Delirium take to track down Destruction?
The whole "search for Destruction" thing kinda bugged me, since it served to demonstrate once again that Dream's family don't actually do anything; it seems like they're just an arbitrary collection of D-initialed concepts incarnated as a byproduct of human activity. But maybe there was a better explanation that I've since forgotten.
I once wanted to ironically dress as someone-who-dresses-up-as-Gaiman's-death for Halloween, but I thought that was too much irony for one little ankh....
Er, yeah. Perhaps too many layers. :-)
I hadn't thought of the connection, but it is kind of Pottery.
Yah-hah, with maybe a pinch of Philip K. Dick for seasoning. Another example of latter-day Potterism, I'd say, was Vanilla Sky - presumably the Spanish-language original would score higher on the artistic integrity meter, but I was actually pretty happy with the Tom Cruise remake. (On the strength of which I then subjected myself to Minority Report, so they didn't necessarily do me any favors there.)
Did you see Cold Lazarus? That was soooooo boss.
I think we've discussed this before, which means I've probably already mentioned that Cold Lazarus is absolutely fantastic and incredibly moving. God damn, that Dennis Potter...
I take it you've seen Brimstone & Treacle, right? Now that was a strange little piece.
Cameron Diaz dances around in her panties!
I think that's Kirsten Dunst, right? The bobble-headed former child actor who plays Mary Jane in the Spider-Man movies? But otherwise, salient points all. I'd actually heard the tip about the hair colors, and it is indeed very helpful.
Tim was really rather distressed that Frodo had acted so sleazily to get at her
Hardly a showcase of professional ethics. Still, it's an understandable motivation. :-)

But Giles was't in any Angel episodes!
Yeah, and he won't be getting a costume...
