One of us, one of us...

Oh, goddamn it. I was trying to be all cool and scoffy about the new Gawker sci-fi blog. And then I went and started reading the damn thing.

Of course, most of the news they're reporting is Old News to me (save, of course, the news that Peter Petrelli and Claire Bennett are totally doing it off-camera, and OMGWTF oh my). I mean, what have we learned today? The sonic screwdriver is rad? Christian Bale did gun-fu in Equilibrium? Bitch, please.

But it's still nice, as always, to stumble across a new community, take a deep breath, and sigh, knowing that these people are your people. People who make charts and graphs. I can dig it, all right.

Small Children Wearing Adorable Costumes

While wandering the convention floor at Comic-Con this year, I found myself fascinated by the kids towed to the convention in costume -- some of whom were excited at the chance to be their favorite hero for a day, some of whom were totally unimpressed by the whole scenario. So I started asking them questions. And that's what lead to this.



Please note the following facts:

• Every child was interviewed only after I received permission from their parent/guardian/whoever thought it would be a good idea to dump them into a Pikachu costume.
• I am SO PISSED that I never got a chance to interview the Han/Leia brother-sister team, who would pose on cue with blasters.
• The camera used for this project was a decent but non-fancy camcorder. Thus, the picture quality is not the best, and the autofocus makes me die inside.
• I am also not a cinematographer, editor, or sound designer by trade.
• I am full of excuses. But small children are full of awesome.

Enjoy! And if you do, please send it onto your friends, loved ones, and casual accquaintances. Hugs for everyone!
