I was seriously considering calling in sick this morning - yup, slept badly again last night. Dozed, turned, dozed, turned, dozed... *rolls eyes* Oh yeah, and I kept dreaming snippets of Pitch Black. No, not the "monster in the dark" bits (they weren't that scary), more character interaction stuff. I felt a bit better after I had my tea this morning, though, so decided that I'd go in and I could still go home if I felt too bad. So far it's mostly okay. I guess I'll survive, then. ;)

The reason why I dreamed Pitch Black was that I saw it for the first time last night, finally. I of course have already seen The Chronicles of Riddick several times - yes, because Karl's in it :) - and have been curious to see PB since then. I must say I quite like them both, particularly the sense of humour that runs through. I also like Vin Diesel - not only from what I've seen of him in these two films, but also from some talk show appearance I happened to catch last year. He was promoting that film - sorry, can't remember the title - where he plays a mafia guy who decides to defend himself in court. Vin doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, which I always like in people. :)

*yawn* Right. Work... *sigh*

Oh don't worry, warnings like those hardly ever put me off - at the very least I usually give it a try anyway. :)

It just fits, I guess. It wouldn't work in a story about a guy like Riddick if he were to frolick through the daisies and play with bunnies. ;p

He does torture and kill some people, but they deserve it. Well, as far as anyone deserves that. But in this universe, they do. :)

omg now THAT would make for a brilliant crack!fic... ROTFL!!!

Yeah - the thing is, Riddick is evil but... yet not really. Okay, I guess if we had seen him before Pitch Black we might think otherwise, but I do think he always had an underlying streak of humanity, it was just buried really deep.

I've never seen him as pure evil. He has a really fascinating character, I think. The way it's worked out in Apprentice is really clever. The Furyan theory works, I guess, but the way Ardath explains why Riddick became what he became is just brilliant. Well, you'll see. ;p

I love it that you have this guy who you at first think is the big brawny (but not brainy) baddie, but oh you quickly notice he's all kinds of clever, and physically quick too! And he has a wicked sense of humour! And his own sense of nobility and morality, twisted as it sometimes is. ♥ I can't wait to find out more about that project and why he is the way he is!!!
