So it looks like I will not be getting a Pellaeon figure in the new set of Star Wars minis. The set titled Imperial Entanglements<. Because that apparently that would make too much sense. (They made Thrawn sets and sets ago, and there's a new Thrawn in IE. Why does WOTC insist on giving me Holmes but not Watson?)

Oh, but do you know who is in Imperial Entanglements? Go ahead, guess. That's right, Kyp Frakking Durran, eating up a Rare slot. And what makes it extra galling is that one of the upcoming sets is Jedi Academy, the books Kyp appeared in. Oh Kyp, you emo-boy dark-siding sun-crushing Gary Stu, my hate is so strong I should be able to shoot force lightning out of my fingers.

When I started this post the FLAMES were just about Pellaeon being snubbed (again!), but then I saw this. We have to band together to stop this abomination. Such a thing cannot be.

Non spoilery: I loved Dark Knight.

( Everyone's pretty much covered Joker and Two-Face by now, so I want to talk about Jim Gordon. )

On a related note, I got carried away in cleolinda's journal with how I would write the next Bat movie here. Oops. Sorry.:) (But it does have Riddler! And Catwoman!)

I actually saw Iron Man at the midnight showing (because my boyfriend and I are those kinds of nerds) and meant to comment on it then, but I wanted to wait until I had the chance to write a really good review. So yeah, two weeks later....:)

( Speed Racer )

In short, Speed Racer deserves to be doing better at the box office. It certainly deserves to be doing better than When in Vegas. Ugh.

The Gamestop in the mall where I play D&D usually has a good number of dirt-cheap used DVDs, so after game on Saturday I stopped in to browse the 3 for $10 shelf while everyone else was playing magic.

I walked out with the entire Yami no Matsuei DVD series. All four disks! I'd only had the series on crappy VHS fansub, and not even all of it (I was missing the boat arc, which is my favorite just for Tsuzuki's adorable attempts to speak English). And here was the whole thing on DVD for about $12!

I also picked up Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Pride of the Yankees to round out the second 3 for $10, so I felt like I found myself a pretty good deal. Happy day for me, especially since I had been feeling bittersweet about my long-running campain ending that day. We gave it a good ending, but it's always hard to leave a character and a world you've been playing in so long.

In other good news, I passed my typing test today, so I'm one step closer to rejoining the ranks of the employed. Yay, me.
