John Noble Friend Teaser

"Friend" Teaser from Ari Margolis on Vimeo.

Ok, I'm behind on Fringe. My wife and I fell into it pretty hard last year, blurred through seasons 1-3, bought ssn 4 when it came out but just haven't had time to watch it yet. The show itself starts with a SUPER strong pilot, then gets a little too X-Files/Creature of the week and kinda bugged me for a bit, then by season two is just sublime science fiction. It synthesizes a lot of the stuff I wanted to do in my first, totally failed manuscript for a novel, and it does it in a graceful, elegant way. It's kind of Lost meets The Invisibles meets X-Files. And casting wise, everyone is great, but John Noble - Walter - oh my! He is wonderful.

Well, above is the teaser for something he's starring in coming out later this year. I don't know anything else about it, but just based on Mr. Noble, I'm in!

Joe Hill's NOS4A2

I received a nice advance copy of Joe Hill's NOS4A2 today. I am VERY much looking forward to reading it, as Hill's Heart-Shaped Box is one of my favorite books of recent years (and Horns is pretty damn awesome too! Can't wait for that movie starring Daniel Radcliffe). I'll be posting opinions on the book soon enough, however I also have my brand new copy of Peter V. Brett's The Daylight War - purchased in stunning hardcover the day of release (today) from my favorite local bookstore The Book Frog. Mr. Brett's stuff became DOR or 'Day of Release' level for me after the other two books in the series (which I speak about here) blew me the F--k away!!! But of course now I have an especially tricky conundrum - which to read first?

Choices, choices choices...

Queens of the Stone Age...

It's getting closer, can you feel it? 

According to NME's website (I know Scroobius Pip  says not to read NME, but in this case I couldn't help it damnit!) the following letter was sent by QOTSA to Kerrang magazine. I don't know what I thought was stranger - the fact that Kerrang still existed or the actual message.

DEAR KERRANG,

...SOME THINGS YOU CAN'T FIX SO...

ON THIS RECORD WE CAME TO A REALIZATION: THE BESTTRICK OF ALL, IS NO TRICK AT ALL

THE SONGS ARE A REAL TIME DOCUMENT OF THE MANIC UPS AND DOWNS OF THE LAST YEAR. IT CAN'T ALWAYS RUN LIKE CLOCKWORK. SO RATHER THAN CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE RECORDINGS, WE DECIDED TO RIDE SHOTGUN ON OUR EMOTIONAL BANDWAGON. WE EMBRACED OUR EVIL, HELD THE HORRIBLE, LICKED THE LUNACY AND BLEW THE BEAUTIFUL. AS A RESULT, WE'RE ON CLOUD 9.

I CAN'T WRITE ANYMORE CAUSE MY PHONE'S DYING,

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE"
