allisnowTwo headlines on SCI FI WIRE that made me laugh/want to poke my eyes out.
Number one:
A TV series of Wizard's First Rule? Are you kidding me? That book was so unspeakably horrible that just the title gives me the creeps. I mean I'm going to have to watch the first episode just so I can laugh myself sick, but... *shudders*
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad BAD.
Number two:
Tin Man? Seriously? I understand some people enjoy... um... that kind of thing, but I thought it was pretty lame. At least it didn't get any writing/directing awards, but still... Nine noms? Seriously?
