Wheee, Neverwhere DVDs arrived, with commentary by the man himself! Yay ;)

So many dvds, so little time... is 'I have too much to watch' a valid reason not to go to work?

MORNIN'

Did you like the locusts, then?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Yes, the locusts were excellent. In a very badly acted, badly written way ;p It was hilarious. Particularly Death by NIBBLING

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

I still can't get over Death by Nibbling. Would you mind describing it to me in text so I can read it and get my head around pleasey please?

Well Science Guy (who's fault it all was), Science Woman, Her Science Boyfriend and her Dad were on her dad's farm in a big silo thingy with all the GRAIN and the locusts were trying to get in and they cunningly realised if they electrified the barn the locusts would DIE but there was no fuel for the Generator. OH NOES!

So SG(wfiaw) decides to HEROICALLY run across the yard to get the petrol, putting a blanket over his head, possibly to fool the locusts because they don't eat bankets, or something. Off he runs to the petrol, fills up a can while locusts BITE his FACE, runs back heroically to the barn, still with the blanket on his head and collapses. SW sobbingly pulls locusts off his face which is BLOODY from NIBBLING. Then he gasps 'Im so sorry, I'm so sorry' and, for no apparent reason, dies.
They cover him with the blanket and electocute the locusts and go off to save the world with the combined power of electricity and special Locust-Attracting Balloons with Shiny Ribbons Attatched.

I SO wish I'd seen it from the start :/

Jesus why did I agree to watch Ocean's Eleven instead???

perhaps they're poison-locusts?

mind you, that's a film LAW: hero person will survive (and, indeed, manage to fight/run/whatever) with horrendous injuries, but recover for a happy tag scene at the end. meanwhile minor characters are expiring all over the shop while i shout at the screen, "that's a FLESH WOUND. put a bit of pressure on it and you'll be ok!"

I love doing this at Casualty. The all time classic was when the man came in with a stubbed toe and died of a heart attack.
FAB.

are these the 'region 0 but they say region 1 on the amazon.com site because they have some kind of licencing agreement that requires that they lie' dvds that mr gaiman talked about at the great hellison fangirl event?
