Um, Truman doesn’t write Hellboy. Mike Mignola does.
Whoops! My mis-read. Problem fixed. Thanks! :-S
Two questions : Do you know if they’re going to produce more episodes of Night stalker? meant to watch it on ABC but I couldn’t find the time (catching up on BSG then)
second question : anyone here ever read the dresden files? been thinking about buying a couple for the christmas break (well, my two days off anyway…)
Just wondering
I hope they make more episodes of Night Stalker – I only saw one episode of the new series – unfortunately it was a little more graphic and intense than I would prefer for my kids to watch during primetime. If the SciFi channel has it, hopefully they will air it at different times so the I can watch or have the Tivo pick it up. I really liked the original series – I haven’t seen it in a long time but as I recall it often had humor mixed in.
No idea on Night Stalker…I only know what’s in the link.
I have not personally read any of the Dresden File books, but they did look interesting enough to me to buy. There are plenty of reviews around the web (like Amazon) to get a feel for Butcher’s books.
Of course, any book with a non-cracked spine looks good enough for John to buy…
I’m a little lenient (but only a little) on the carcked-spine rule when I’m carrying a 15%-off coupon.
Just to correct a teenty tiny one letter error: my book ‘River of Gods’ hopefully bound for Bollywood, not Hollywood (which is so much more funky…)
