This made me emotional, listening to them talk about how they stayed true to the original vision of Dark Crystal:



I'm really excited about this series. It looks beautiful.

AND THEN THIS:



YAAAASS! Not going to lie, I have been skeptical about this just because it felt like Netflix just wanted a Game of Thrones BUT this looks very pretty. And hopefully it has all the wit and snarkyness of the books and the games. The stories in both play with fairy tale tropes. Plus, lots of kick ass women. The showrunner pointed out that they were going to spend some of the first season on Yennefer's backstory and how she because the awesome witch she is in the books. I'm all about backstory.

Still waiting for the season 4 Expanse trailer. I think the panel is tomorrow so hopefully??? Probably while I'm at work LOL.

In other news, IT IS REALLY FREAKIN HOT HERE! Like, the "real feel" is 100 for the next two days. We are both working tomorrow so at least we can turn the a/c down at home and save some $$$ but still. Today was rough, we just hid int he basement to avoid running the air and Sunday will also probably be a hide in the basement day.

I debated watching the Comic-Con reel, as I was worried about spoilers, but they played it all very close to the chest. Lots of little snippets of new moments, but mostly it is about how they are making the movie the way that the original films were made - lots of practical effects, costumes, and actual on location filming.

I'm not going to lie, I started crying by the end. I feel like they are trying to so very hard to make the movie we wanted back in 1999. You can tell that they are fans of the classics and they want to use this movie to try to recreate that feeling of adventure and wonder. I really hope they succeed.



And reading this blurb about the original cast and Harrison being so positive on the film. I'm taking that as a good sign too.

Yeah, I'm going to see this at midnight, opening day. No doubt. Just need to remember to request off work because I am going to be worthless the next day. Actually, may even be worthless the day of but at least work will help time go by LOL.

LET THE SDCC ANNOUNCEMENT BEGIN!

And this game doesn't even come out until next summer!

(of course I registered)
