broken compasses and wanderlust

Random thought: on Brothers and Sisters, Jon Glover, the Magnificent Bastard over on Smallville, is playing the boyfriend of Saul, played by Ron Rifkin, the Magnificent Bastard over on Alias. This? Amuses me to no end.

In Pride and Prejudice news: Pride & Prejudice: the Zombie Movie Version? Apparently someone got a parody published and now they're thinking of making it into a film:

"It quickly became obvious that Jane (Austen) had laid down the blueprint for a zombie novel," author Seth Grahame-Smith told Australia’s Herald Sun. ”Why else in the original should a regiment arrive on Lizzie Bennet's doorstep when they should have been off fighting Napoleon? It was to protect the family from an invasion of brain-eaters, obviously."

YOU GUYS. I can't even...You know, I thought it was a joke at first, but it's listed on Amazon and the movie reports are popping up in legitimate sources. It's like I can't decide if I want to cry or laugh, this is so ridiculous.

In 24 news: ( Spoilers up until 3:00pm-4:00pm )

Marvel comes out with a Pride and Prejudice comic.

Also? Annie Wersching (Renee Walker on 24) has gotta be one of the cutest fangirls of 24 ever. Apparently while she was filming scenes with Mary-lynn and Carlos, she would internally freak out about how she was "talking to Chloe and Tony." Also, she flew back to her hometown and hired out a local theater for all her friends and family to watch the premiere of 24. She even got a bunch of the cast and crew to say hello wherein you can see her acting like a kid in a candy store (one cast spoiler in that video, btw. It's out there in the media already, but just fair warning for the spoiler phobes.)

Anyway, I find Wersching's fangirl ways somewhat hilarious and totally endearing, which is great because it's nice that my favorite new character on 24 isn't played by a total jerk. Not that the cast of 24 isn't awesome, but it can happen. And I really like Renee's character. I can't figure out why just yet, but I do. Maybe it's because she's like the female counterpart to S1!Jack. Or maybe she's more like S1!Tony. I don't know, what do you think?
