The second (and final, thank god) Kelly review is up, and it's time for me to take forever getting to the next one; that's because it's in Japanese and my Japanese is rusty, to say the least. If I never re-emerge, you can assume I'm passed out somewhere in Tijuana, covered in hiragana and wondering where my kidney went.

This isn't a review update, but instead, check this out: the website of one Angel Taormina, who describes herself as a singer, writer, director, actress, et. al. I first stopped by in my neverending quest to make sure I have a thorough range of sources for this project (and her novel, Eternal Love, has been added to the list as per all published forms of the story), but more interesting to me is her film page, where it blithely declares that the film version of the novel, which they expect to put into production any day now, will have an estimated budget of $20,000,000. Okay. Now I know this is fake.
But the novel, at least, is real, so it will go through the spectroscope like all the others. In the meantime, I can only imagine the treat in store if she decides to sing in this production with the fantasy twenty million dollar budget, and try to avoid all future YouTube clips with vigilance and verve.

The Smith Babar review is up! Ah, the mists of nostalgia and childlike innocence. Okay, enough of that, off to read another play.

The McMullan review is up! It's so nice to see a children's version that has some real depth to it.
Also, I fixed all the blog entries that said they were from January of 08. Doh.
