Take Expectations
Double them. Raise them. Hope. Pray.
This is still better.

Tonight on Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars, Tuesday, Nov. 2
Veronica investigates possible fraud in the election of student council president.
Oh, the timing of this episode. Too funny.
Finally
Serenity news
Dark Horizons: Finding That Feeling Of Serenity — short article, but a few fun bits.
Regarding sequels:
Morena also told us, if the movie is successful, all nine actors are locked in.
I cannot emphasize this enough: If you can only go twice to this movie, go once on the first weekend and once on the second weekend — that indicates staying power, above and beyond earning power. If a genre movie like this can break even on its budget (50 mil in this case) while it’s still in theatres, then the studio can anticipate big profits in DVD sales. Basically, breaking even in the box office = sequels.
Double-nested geekdom
So… people watching Lost…
Taquitoooooooos! And a clown with NO HEAD!
Invader ZIM – Horrible Holiday Cheer (Vol. 3): Out in October; preorder for 30% off.
Also, I am SO going shopping. SQUEEEE.
Now Playing…
Shawn of the Dead: Hilarious, serious, horrifying, gruesome, funny. Hilariously horryfying, gruesomely funny. It’s some of what I expected (a romantic comedy with zombies inserted into the story in the place of things like missed phone calls and mixed messages) and some pretty surprisingly dramatic stuff that I wasn’t.
Recommended. See it before middle america says “Huh? I don’t get it.” too often and it’s relegated to booming DVD sales.
