Comic-con San Diego

A discussion of the better things in life, including music, the arts, wine, beer, cigars, scotch, gambling the Quatloosian way, travel, sports, and many other topics. [Political and religious discussions and the like should stay off-site.]

This is the video that will win the Hugo this year, and is emphatically NSFW. I love this girl, for she has mega moxie. I'm told that Ray approves the video.

It'll be later that the Hugo is awarded, but I cherish hopes that she'll make an appearance at Comic-con.

CK, should I ever meet the guy from Torchwood who plays Captain Jack (and strikes all those Dramatic Poses on top of buildings) it will be a distinct effort not to slap him upside the head. For the sake of my pretensions to civility, I'm just avoiding the situation.

His name is John Barrowman.

Is it about the actor, or the character? In spite of appearances, the character isn't a MCP, he's a CJCP. I don't know that much about the actor....

I'm not proud of my urge to slap him upside the head, but I think it's the pretentious poses that create the urge. I don't often react in this fashion, but there's something about both the character, and the actor himself that just plain ticks me off.

I'm too civilized (or good at faking it) to slap him, but don't trust me with a seltzer bottle...
