The Tick and favourite books

[erilyn]

Last night, iibnf and edgehd showed me a number of episodes of the short-lived live action series of "The Tick". Fucking hilarious show, and so incredibly slashy. I need more *g*. And I swooned with jealousy over one of iibnf's purchases from her trip that I hadn't heard about.

Gacked from dream517. Pop fans, you must check out this short film, the adventures of Nsync marionette *g*. Hysterical and clever, and if anyone can save it (it's streamed) and share, I would love and worship you :)

You know, JC is still on the Aussie charts. He's #19 on the ARIA dance singles chart, has been in for 15 weeks, high point was #3. Why did they stop bothering with Schizophrenic, why? And I saw an official Justin calendar for sale when I was out shopping today.

ABC (public broadcaster here in Australia) held a big poll for what is Your Favourite Book? They got tens of thousands of responses (though the host joked on radio the other day that probably means about fifteen thousand *g*), and announced the top ten results on a live show this evening. I hope they put the top hundred up on their site here.
Australia's Top Ten Favourite Books
#10 - A Fortunate Life
#9 - The Da Vinci Code and Catch 22
#8 - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
#7 - 1984
#6 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
#5 - Cloudstreet
#4 - To Kill a Mockingbird
#3 - The Bible
#2 - Pride and Prejudice
#1 - Lord of the Rings

I've read all of them but A Fortunate Life, Cloudstreet and Catch-22 (which I tried to read in my teens but could not get into). Interesting that I haven't read either of the two Australian novels in the top 10. Ok, I haven't read all of the Bible, but I have read quite a bit of it.

Ah, but I'm a purist. I much, much, MUCH prefer the animated version of the tick. Though to be honest, the live action show is pretty true to the same craziness and surreality of the cartoon ;) There aren't many eps of the live action serie, though, it didn't last long.

Spoooooooooooooooooon!

I've never really seen the animated version, so I don't have the comparison. Only 9 little eps of the live action show, sadly.
