8:03AM - Fuck them gently with a chainsaw.
Fox is developing a contemporary take on the 1989 Christian Slater/Winona Ryder feature "Heathers."
Dark comedy will be adapted for TV by scribe Mark Rizzo, with an assist from "Sex and the City" alum Jenny Bicks. Sony Pictures TV, where Bicks is based, will produce, along with Lakeshore Entertainment, which holds the rights to "Heathers."
Rizzo is still kicking around ideas on how to update "Heathers" 20 years after the film became a favorite among the underground set. But the characters from the movie are all expected to be there -- Veronica Sawyer (played in the movie by Ryder), J.D. (Slater) and the "Heathers."
...The idea for a "Heathers" revival came from inside UTA, where reps for Rizzo and Bicks decided the title was ripe for revival and contacted Lakeshore about potentially dusting off the franchise.
"We had the title, and talked about doing a film remake at times," said Lakeshore prexy Gary Lucchesi. "But doing it for TV seemed like a fresh and original idea."
I could handle a sequel or the musical (if only to see Teenage Suicide (Don't Do It) as a big number), but this? NO.
1:22PM - Look, it's a chart!
Number of times Dr. Sam Beckett leapt into various states (and foreign countries) during Quantum Leap
Which now I want to watch QL and check these stats. Of course. For SCIENCE!
Also, completely unrelated, but it's been a bad week for animal lovers: There is an Itty Bitty Kitty Committee feed on JF. Just sayin'.
6:55PM
I've recently been replaying Golden Sun and I'm wondering if anyone has any good fanfics (or fanart, I'm not picky) to recommend. FF.net is full of smooshy pairing fic and Mary-Sues. I'd especially like gen or missing-scene fics.
9:44PM - distracted from packing
I'm intrigued by Chloe Sullivan/Bruce Wayne but I think I'm about to exhausted the small pool of fics I've found on FF.net and LJ. :( Is there any place else I should look? I'm not picky about 'verses, ratings, etc. Shamless smut would be nice though.
