How did I not know about this??

"After a terrifying biblical apocalypse descends upon the world, a group of strangers stranded in a remote truck stop diner in the Southwest unwittingly become humanity's last line of defense when they discover the diner's young waitress is pregnant with the messiah."

Post-apocalyptic setting! Strangers joining together to do battle! Angels carrying machine guns! Paul Bettany as the archangel Michael. This movie was made for me, people.

Have you seen the trailer? It looks pretty exciting and scary. Plus, Adrienne Palicki!

I'ma be honest: bible-based fiction does not interest me very much. I"m not sure why, I just find it...dull. And trite.

Especially stuff involving the New Testament, and especially especially ESPECIALLY anything that cribs from Revelations.

Jessica's in it? Kickass. :-D

And no, haven't seen the trailer yet-- the kiddo's asleep-- but I'm going to watch it as soon as she wakes up.

I find some of it trite; it depends on what's done with it. It's kinda like Greek mythology to me in that sense . . . "Okay, I know a lot of the base material, now show me your twist on it."

For instance, I've read slacktivist's take on Left Behind, and while I'm never going to read those books, if slacktivist ever did a novel in that genre? Mine in a hot second. :-) I also liked some of the short stories I read in the Right Behind section he links.

And Dennis Quaid, too. (And Lucas Black!) :D

I squealed like a fangirl when I recognized Adrienne Palicki. She's also set to make an appearance in S5 of SPN. Guess she's making a living out of this whole Apocalypse thing. LOL

Speaking of SPN...

I have Monday Sept 7 off from classes. If you can hold off watching until Sept 5, we can have a marathon on a three-day weekend. ^_^

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

She definitely is!!

And man, I really really want to do that-- but from the 3rd until the 7th or 8th I'm going to be in Denver with Kaylee for my cousin's wedding. For some reason I was thinking the season would be out late September, not early. Whoops. :-P

However, I do have it preordered from amazon, so it sounds like it should be here soon. Anytime in mid or late September work for you?? I will even promise to wait until you can come down and make Chris wait, too. I'll hide the DVDs so he doesn't know they've arrived. *plots sneaky things*

[followthesp1der.livejournal.com]

LOL, that's ok. It won't be a three-day weekend, but I can probably go ahead and come up for a regular one. We don't need sleep, right?

19 days til the new season!! Woot!

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

Hell no, we don't need sleep. Rest is for the weak. ;-)

And also, I have a potentially-kickass idea for the cover of Kath's and my next book, but I need help for one of the characters. I'm thinking of doing a collage-type thing, with images of stuff that ties in to the book, and kinda-shadowy pics of people who look like the main characters, and you would make an awesome Ruby. :-) Mind if I take a few pics of you for that when you come down next month??

[followthesp1der.livejournal.com]

*jawdrop* 0_0 REALLY?!!??!?

That is made of so much awesome I'm in danger of an awesomeness overdose.

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

**S** Glad you like the idea!! Next question would be if you own any hippie peasant blouse-type shirts? (technically I suppose I should already know this but my brain doesn't function until at least noon). If so, bring 'em along. :-)

I'm going to ask my cousin and her fiance if they'll pose for two of the other characters, and I just bought some dark lipstick and liquid eyeliner so I can pose for Myra. We'll see how it all turns out. lol

[followthesp1der.livejournal.com]

i'm sure I've got something that'll work. Any other character traits I should know about Ruby?

(and you do NOT know how hard it is to not see that name and think of SPN LOL)

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

LOL Yeah, you're right. :-D

This Ruby and that Ruby are complete opposites, though (thankfully, or the other characters would have a *lot* to worry about. Heh)

She's very much a glass-is-always-full die hard romantic. She spends a lot of time at school spacing out thinking of story ideas, though she doesn't always have a lot of time to write-- she helps her mom out with chores and cooking and watching her little sister. She kinda puts herself in the big-sister role with her friends, too.
