some words

Wow, my internets are slow tonight. As I'm at work til 7.30, this is a bit annoying. I want to go home and watch Doctor Who and make more Law and Order icons! Harrumph.

Last night at Stitch 'n' Witch we were talking about the film Lesbian Vampire Killers - well, actually, I didn't have to say anything as the_smut_fairy said exactly what I was thinking, i.e. that I was a lot more excited about it when I thought it was about lesbians killing vampires rather than the two blokes from Gavin and Stacey killing vampire lesbians - and I've just been reading a review of it (linked at The F Word here, (contains many spoilers, btw) some good discussion in the comments too) that both confirms my desire not to see it and makes me feel like adding it to my list of things that make me hate the world a bit. Bah. By way of corrective, can anyone rec me any sf/fantasy films with good female characters in them?

Something I've been meaning to link for a while: Radio 4 is cancelling its one regular children's programme, which is a bit sad, especially since said programme had actually been pretty good recently and definitely a marked improvement on how it was when it started. On the other hand, the article mentions that they've got a few adaptations of children's books coming up, one of which is Black Hearts in Battersea, which I love. Hurray, won't have to boycott Radio 4 after all! (I've been boycotting Radio 5 since they stopped doing children's programmes in 1994, possibly the most pointless boycott ever as I have no interest in sport and would therefore not listen anyway, but it is the principle of the thing.)
