There are reports that Fox, who announced their intention and a producer for the creation of a live action Cowboy Bebop movie, has had Keanu Reeves set for the role of Spike for eight months now. I'm not exactly...upset, but I'm not exactly happy either

Keanu Reeves as Spike, wtf. o_O
Any word on the other characters yet?

I know Blizzard wants to put Wrath of the Lich King out at the end of the year BAD, but it doesn't seem likely with them. Of course, since acquired by Activision, they may have to set their nitpickiness aside and get it out asap. I guess I won't complain, I'd love to have it for my birthday/christmas!

It's still in the ultra-early stages right now, all that's been revealed is that they intend to do it and the producer: Erwin Stoff, who's done some good stuff, like I Am Legend, A Scanner Darkly, and the first Matrix (also Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey!) But also some not-so-good stuff, like Constantine and Austin Powers 2. Honestly it's still so far in preproduction I'd give it maybe a 20% shot at best at this point of happening ever.

If things go the same way they did with Burning Crusade, they'll shoot for a pre-Christmas release and fail, winding up with January or February. However, from what I hear, the WotLK beta is way, way, waaay more polished at this point than BC was, and that an October or November release is fairly likely to happen. Not to mention their new Activision overlords, and the uncharacteristic declaration by one of the Blizzard higher-ups within the last few days that it WILL come out in Q4 2008.

Speaking of which, have you been following the news coming out of the Wotlk beta? It's all like

Yeah, I've been keeping up on mmo-champion.com; there's all kinds of crazy stuff that I'm really excited about. :) Many of my druid concerns are finally addressed, though not sure on shamans yet since they already took out the alpha talent I wanted soooo bad. =O It's good to see things coming along well, though I'm only afraid I won't get to see much of Sunwell before it comes out, much like with the original Naxxramas.

Totally stoked nonetheless. :D

My main's a hunter so I'm all busy trying to figure out what to name my new pet T-Rex. Though rerolling Death Knight IS looking pretty appealing.

I just hope that they don't mess with Naxx too badly. The shift to ten man will be pretty jarring by necessity, but I managed to run a fair chunk of it at 60 and it really was the best instance they ever made, hands down.

You're going to Dragoncon? I'm going to Dragoncon too! Huzzah!

Job uncertainty sucks. Good luck with that. The Governator is trying to cut lots of state jobs and slash the pay of many others, but so far nobody at my summer job seems to think that I'm affected. It's still a bit unclear.

Sorry it's hot. You're welcome to come visit me, where it's not nearly so hot, but I know that's not terribly likely.

At this rate Dragoncon is shaping up to be a big McAlister family reunion.

I'm gonna be at Dragoncon too! I'll even have a badge this year, haha.
