Mmhmm, it actually made it into the Sun paper yesterday, albeit a month-old picture, of the pair of them wandinerg around NY together, apparently chatting quite cosily. Quite how that makes them to be dating, I don't know, since I saw no held hands or particular intimacy other than he was looking directly at her when she was speaking, but that could've been sincere and platonic interest and courtesy. Still, the rumours now abound online and in the papers, with people scratching their heads as to how a young single mother who happens to be an actress starring in - let's face it - some pretty tame/neutral films to date, aside from the one she's currently in (The Killer within me), could make it with a prog rock star with a penchant for conspiracy theories and customizing his guitars. *shrug* I love reading the reports, more of than not they focus more on what he's wearing ... and half of them can't get their facts right either, despite being apparently professional journalists, stating that the NY photo was taken the day before yesterday ... when he was in France performing a concert

That's enough rumour-mongering. I'm going to take it with a huge pinch of salt, and probably end up flinging it over my shoulder for luck.

Michael Bay x Roland Emmerich = Universal annihilation. Between the pair of them, they've probably decimated the world's major cities at least twelve times. NY, twice that. I still find the best shot of the destruction of the Statue of Liberty to come from Cloverfield though, amazing film.

Evangelion ... Last Exile ... these need properly attending to, with the careful and loving hand of an auteur director. Maybe an ex-animator. I personally can't get enough of Miyazaki, but that's an entirely different genre - very beautiful and bittersweet. Have you ever seen RahXephon? That's a unique combination of lovely animation, voice actors/actresses, mecha and above all, classical music. The mecha are basically conducted via, and a product of, the music - that's the best way I can describe it. It shoots down the harpies that rant about mecha being too masculine, and the whiners who state that no anime can truly capture a good storyline and hold it, without an influx of sweatdrops.

I must say, you're doing very well, considering I just dropped in on you like Leeloo into a taxi
