don't be dull, be fannish

Amazon shipped Fast & Furious and The Middleman my way! *twirls* In a few weeks, I will hold my very own, shiny F&F box set in my hands. For real! Dom and Brian and fast cars and... *bounces*

BTW, the next movie in the F&F franchise will be obviously called Faster than Furious! I just hope that they will keep Chris Morgan as the writer and Justin Lin as the director because those two love to push the chemistry between Paul Walker and Vin Diesel!

Psych S3 DVD will be out on June 30th and, as usually, with many, many bonus features.

Also, The Middleman - The Complete Series will appear on July 28th! Source.

Last night, I finished watching The Middleman. The show didn't have good ratings so I suspect that the existing 12 eps are all that we will get. Well, it's a good and funny show, one that makes you feel all giddy and smiley when you watch it but it's not really riveting. I will buy the series on DVD for sure, especially if there are any bonus features, but I won't cry if they cancel it...

I mostly watched it for the amazing things Wendy and the Middleman, or better said, the actors could let out of their mouths without cracking up. Like:

Wendy: Who leaves a palindrome?
The Middleman: Typical supervillain horse feathers. Can't wait to hear this guy's monologue. "I am the Palindrome. Feel my power. Power my feel. Palindrome the am I". Peter piping weirdos.

or

The Middleman: Son of a monkey's uncle, Wendy Watson, which part of "this is an emergency" didn't you get?

or

The Middleman: Dubbie, I can't help but notice you seem to have rent appendages on your brain.
Ida: That's the hippie lettuce talking.

or

The Middleman: If you want to help Mr. Noser right now, you'll dedicate yourself mind, body, and soul to preventing undead creatures of the night from rising from the grave to suck him dry.
Wendy: You don't talk to other humans much, do you?

Matt Keeslar, the actor playing the Middleman, simply rocked my socks in this one. He so reminded me of Fraser from due South! Hot guy, hot body, spouting nonsense like a walking, talking encyclopedia of weirdness! And Natalie Morales' ability to deliver a pun is unbeatable! I even started liking Brit Morgan playing Lacey once her character became a part of the show's mythology!

So yeah, a great show, nothing that would just chain you to your computer/TV or make you go and dig for fanfic, but if you want to put a smile on your face, then this is the perfect thing!

--> Due to low ratings, The Middleman was trimmed from 13 eps to 12.

--> CBS swapped Swingtown and Flashpoint. Now, Flashpoint will air Thursdays at 10/9 pm and Swingtown Fridays at 10/9 pm!

--> Jared and Jensen are still attending Comic Con but their Saturday's autograph session was canceled. Jensen will join the Supernatural producers' autograph signing at 12:30 pm/PT, in the WB Booth.

--> The CW puts Gossip Girl back on the web.

The Middleman 1x04: Ha, Men in Black, the Middleman version. Kinda cute XP
Riptide 2x07: Poor poor Nick, all upset and crying - Joe Penny did an awesome job! Cody and Murray comforting him (do I smell a threesome there? ;P). Murray breaking locks! Ha! Nice!

Reading:
"Twilight" by Ally Blue. Man, I so missed gay romances!
On the fanfic front, it's still Martha Wilson ;)

Anime:
Black Lagoon will get a 3rd season! Huzzah!

Question:
Is it Saturday yet? New Stargate Atlantis! New Psych! New Flashpoint! What is this thing called "summer hiatus" again?

I finally, finally got my hands on a passable copy of The Middleman, ep 1x02...

( Spoilers for said episode )

Oh my gosh! Did you see? leonidaslion posted her big bang fic, set in her Berserk!universe, and it's over 200.000 words long! *runs in circles*

After the disaster that was Harrison's book *still shuddering* I picked up the manga "Black Lagoon, vol. 1" by Rei Hiroe. Now, that's a heroine to my liking. Levi - the German transcription of her name - kicks so much ass! Oh my, I so miss the anime... :(

And did you see the CW's repeat ratings this week so far? O.o
Gossip Girl: 1.06 mil., 0.6/2
One Tree Hill: 891.000, 0.5/2
Reaper: 1.19 mil., 0.5/1

Wow, that's bad...
