Paint Stains

...resulted in a half-hour's worth of utter hilarity and side stitches. You hafta laugh, otherwise you're going to cry your eyes out, Dragonlance fans.

(I don't post fantasy or entertainment related posts often, but this one, I have to, I really do.)

January 2008 is scheduled release date for the animated movie of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. (If the word "animated" doesn't send a chill up your spine, it should.)

Music Video/Sneak Peek:

The music's not bad. Background stills not spectacular, but still not bad. Try to ignore the somewhat dated-looking intro screen.

...And then it descended into TEH SUCK! Lucy Lawless could never have saved this thing.

The Official Trailer, apparently first shown at GenCon 2007:

I had to watch it twice to comprehend the badness. The best to hope for is Eye of Argon goodbadness to save this thing from the levels of hell below that reached by the D&D movie. My favorite comment somewhere among the 700 comments was something like "This looks like 3 kinds of ass".

Solace (hurhur) thereafter could only be found in old fan vids/trailers.

And the German fans beat them ALL: (If you don't watch any of the others, watch this one.)

Really got to get to bed now, but it may be a struggle with this bad case of giggles. I think my brain still can't comprehend that level of suck...

Captured this morning on pixels was Squeak, our pearl/mottled dwarf hamster adopted from the SPCA. Honestly, after a few years of having pet hamsters, Squeak takes the cake for the weirdest behavior and sleeping positions. This position's actually pretty normal as hamsters go. (Squeak's weird sleeping positions are hard to photograph, being that they often happen in the plastic tubing...) He's horribly cute nonetheless. My kind cousin will be taking care of him when we're in Hong Kong from Friday (tomorrow) to next Tuesday.

As aaronace just posted on his LJ and reminded me... October 20 is 24 Hour Comics Day. Crap on a cracker, I'm 11 hours into Oct 20th already and got other things to do. :(

Maybe next year (yet again)...

Anybody I know doing this?

Tee hee.
