... Trying To Calm Down About BLACK SHEEP

[filkertom]

Sorry. I lost it there for a few minutes.

See, there's this indie film coming out called Black Sheep. It's about... killer sheep. And, since I wrote "The Ballad of Fenton", people have wanted to make sure that I've heard about this.

A whole lot of people.

I count thirty-eight so far.

I don't know what you all think I can or should do. It's not like I can get them for copyright infringement. It's way too late to go for a marketing tie-in. And I'd look really stupid standing out in front of the theater in a sheep costume. (No jokes about my love life, please.)

Can we please assume that I have, indeed, heard of the film, and never ever need to hear about it again? Because, at this point, it could be the new Army of Darkness or Shaun of the Dead and I'd still never want to see it.

ONLY thirty-eight? Whenever there's a news story/movie/LJ theme/FITB about penguins, gridlore tends to get hundreds of links to it. To the point where I don't even bother, because odds are J. Random Googler has told my husband about it long before I ever could. We haven't even seen Happy Feet yet because he's approaching penguin burn-out.

(Seriously, we feel your pain. And yes, this was a very deliberate choice of icon.)

Well here is an American killer sheep movie link.

Sorry about that. ;)

I can relate. Jack got a whole buttload of emails when Nathanial Brazil shot up his school in Florida.

And it's wrong that he was tried as an adult. But that's Florida for you.

Weeeell, speaking of Shaun of the Dead, have you heard about Hot Fuzz (http://www.workingtitlefilms.com/film.php?filmID=99)?

Or how about Simon Pegg's appearence in Black Books (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xm1h5_black-books-3x01)?

Thanks for posting that link to Black Books I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

It's not even in the same vein as Shaun of the Dead, but I've been itching to spread the joy of the teaser posters for World's End:

You're welcome. That's the only episode I've seen so far, but I'd like to see more.

P.S. I dig your Azumanga Daioh icon!

Hey, Tom . . .

I think if it had been based on your idea, it would have been funnier.
