The highly anticipated first act (Wheee!) of Joss Whedon’s ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’ is live RIGHT NOW and they have fixed the problem that had viewing restricted to within the U.S.

One of my favourite shows is returning to BBC2 with its 11th series on June 22nd.

Check out the trailers!

Despite all the buzz, and exec producer McG, and a “phenomenal cast”, Spaced is a no-go, I’m told. FBC just turned thumbs down on the WBTV/Wonderland pilot, which was adapted from the successful British TV series.

WAHOO!!

Down with McSpaced!!

In related news the Region 1 DVDs for the one and only Spaced hit the shelves on July 22nd!!

May 18th marks the beginning of shooting for the film ‘S. Darko’ a sequel to the film Donnie Darko.

Wikipedia tells us:

“UK-based sales company Velvet Octopus will be launching sales for the film in Cannes, with Fox already having required North American rights. S. Darko will be set seven years after the end of Donnie Darko, when Donnie’s little sister Samantha and her best friend Corey are now 18 and on a roadtrip to Las Vegas when they are plagued by bizarre visions. Daveigh Chase, who portrayed Samantha Darko in Donnie Darko, will be reprising her role. The cast will also include Ed Westwick, Briana Evigan and Justin Chatwin. Chris Fisher will direct the film, shooting on an estimated $10,000,000 budget and commenting he is “a great admirer of Richard Kelly’s film and hope[s] to create a similar world of blurred fantasy and reality.” Donnie Darko director Kelly is, however, not involved. According to Simon Crowe of Velvet Octopus, the character of Donnie Darko will not be coming back, but there will be “meteorites and rabbits”“

Here’s my little roundup of my favourite parts of the Green Living Show yesterday…

Favourite Vendors
Toronto Vegetarian Association - they gave out these really awesome directories that list all of the vegetarian restaurants in Toronto by location as well as natural food stores, caterers, cooking classes, B&Bs and much more. Very cool, and will probably be helpful when deciding where to eat with my veg friends and sisters.
Coop Mille et une façons - Really neat eco-friendly gifts and products using recycled materials.
Heart on Your Sleeve - Hip and stylish Canadian-made ethical fashions and more.
Hey Jute - Eco-friendly accessories made from Jute (duh!). Totes, belts, iPod cases, yoga mat wraps, laptop sleeves and more! Plus they donate 2% of every sale to charity. And I love their name.

Free Samples
HOLY FREE SAMPLES RADMAN! I am a sample fanatic and this was definitely the place to be! Came home with a bag full plus got to try many delicious food and drinks on the show floor. Many green products are a little priceyer than their harmful counterparts so all these samples are great to test out new options without dropping all the cash on something I may not like.
I am currently sipping my complementary can of R.W. Knudsen Family’s Lemon Lime Juice Spritzer. Tis very nice indeed.
My favourite sample has to be my free slice of handmade soap from Lush (MY FAVOURITE STORE EVER). Got a sample of their Sexy Peel soap that was so fresh I can’t even use it for a couple of days because it hasn’t fully hardened. It smells delicious!

Purchases
The Algonquin Tea Co. - I picked up a pack of their ‘Lucid Dream‘ Tea. Stay tuned to my personal blog for my upcoming reports on whether it works for me or not and comparing its effects to my outrageous “cheese dreams”.
So Nice - Organic Fortified Chocolate Soy Milk. Super bummed that they didn’t have the vanilla chai soy milk for sale. I fell in love after my sample.
Lush - I cannot walk buy Lush without walking away with at least SOMETHING. I was very restrained and only purchased the Karma bubble bar and the Butterball bath bomb (which I plan on using later tonight!)

Just Plain Rad
Courtney and I took a walk through the amazing Canuhome. All I can say is I WANT TO LIVE IN ONE! Check out the site http://www.canuhome.com/

My poor bloggy wog.
I have been neglecting you.
I am oh so sorry.
I have been utterly consumed by the wonder that is Twitter.
Who knew I would get sucked in?
I’ve been using it for 6 or 7 months now and only just now have I gotten completely wrapped up in it.
I think it is because now many more people are discovering it too, so I have more followers and the whole thing has become much more dynamic.

Check out my TwitterFeed in the sidebar to the left and get in on the action.

A tad late with this news, but Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have announced the final film from their ‘Blood and Ice cream’ trilogy which is tentatively being called “The World’s End.”

Every film in the trilogy features a different colour cornetto. Shaun of the Dead had a red cornetto symbolizing all the blood and gore in the zombie flick. Hot Fuzz had the original blue cornetto, representing the police. This final movie will feature a green cornetto, which leads me to believe that perhaps aliens will be involved? Do not quote me on that. Just some speculation.
