I watched Dark City this weekend at Chez Gooch et Ding, enjoying Ms. Gooch's new Television Of Unusual Size. We were shocked to learn (as Ms. Gooch indulged in a bit of mid-show IMDB'ing to our collective edification) that the flick was not descended in a straight line from a comic book somewhere.
In the continuing six-degrees-of-me game, I'm pleased to say that Dark City (in addition to being interesting as a movie) is extremely helpful (thanks to Mr. Lee for bringing it to my attention) - not only, as previously mentioned, does it get me to Rufus Sewell in two moves, but also now to Riff Raff. Riff Raff! My 19 year old self is overjoyed! (And my 39 year old self is, it must be admitted, not entirely indifferent). And, from thence, note please, it is a mere 3 to the entire Rocky Horror cast, and then from there, 4 to Niles Crane (through Tim Curry and Spamalot) and, voila, I'm 5 from the entire cast of Frasier. Handy!
Ms. Gooch also pointed out that Riff Raff is the villian in Ever After (who knew?) which means I'm 3 to Drew Barrymore - my longstanding Girl Crushee!
And, astonishingly, this was not even the best of the weekend Chez Ding et Gooch, as they hosted a lovely grown up, gourmet pot-luck dinner - 6 guests, everyone bringing a course and a wine pairing. Really nice! Who needs restaurants with friends who can cook (and sideline as a sommelier) like that?
Of course it was also far from the worst - Battlestar Galactica, you big tease - why is Cally not dead? Sure, I adored her when she was biting off people's ears, but at this point she is just pathetic. Plus, for my own comfortable fantasy life, I need Chief to be single again.
