I wonder if an actor's strike will result in another chapter? Hm... another chance for Alan Tudyk to ask, 'Why wasn't I in that?'

Now I'm crossing my fingers that UPS can get through all the Seattle snow we have today...

And my DVDs have arrived! Bless the UPS driver and his awesome driving skills! I'm going home tonight, shutting myself in from the cold and hunting for easter eggs.

My DVD is still in transit, due to be delivered tomorrow. I can barely stand the wait.
Hey, how's the packaging? Is it all shiny and cool?

Winners of ELE applications, they evidently received hundreds of applications and listed all of them for dishonorable mention... the ten winners were:
Mr. Terrible - Blasco
Calamitous Orphan - Elbi
Princess Zombie - Campbell
The Reverend - Ervig-Lindquist
L'Enfant Terrible - Caccavo
Duchess of Defeet - Idan
Tur Mohel - Lewis & Dubin
Movie Monkey - Kral
Miss Broadway Dork - Heinen
Lord Stabbington - Sharp & Follows
so I'm sorry you were not, evidently, evil enough... but the competition was clearly tough!
I'm sorry I got my DVD so early (well, obviously that is just a lie, lip service for those who are still waiting for theirs, because in reality I'm gloating over my precioussssss) and now I have to watch the Wiccan commentary, because it's there.

(I keep compulsively checking the UPS tracking info. It's nutty. It's almost as if I expect the page to suddenly miraculously say, hey! Your package was unexpectedly flown to your home city on the Concorde and it's out on the delivery van right now! Nutty.)
Edited to add: Ooh, embers. Listing the ELE winners is such a scoop. It's also probably something for a spoiler thread because it's been kept under wraps? Then again, the DVD *is* out in the wilds so I suppose it's fair play. You lucky, lucky person! I can't wait to find out what the Wiccan commentary really is.

Happy Christmas (Grathnar's Ascension, Solstice, Chrismuka, Festivus, etc) to us all!

Do let us know what the Wiccan subtitles are like, embers.

Edit: Okay, now it says it's shipped, so it'll be a day earlier than I expected... which is still Monday. Sigh.

Mine's not due to arrive until the 27th either.
If I had known the DVDs were shipping from Lexington, I would've just driven down and picked mine up.
Still, I'll be thrilled whenever I mine arrives.

Back to the topic of this thread. Printing on demand is the ultimate tool for enhancing the Long Tail which makes Amazon great (i.e. the phenomenon that even unpopular items are now profitable to sell, allowing for much more choice than in a regular bookstore, and combined these unpopular items create more profit than the popular items). As such it is another step in creating a society where anyone can make anything and sell it, creating independence for creators and consumers alike from big corporations (except Amazon of course). This sounds maybe a bit too utopian, but I do think this will create better opportunities for specialistic publications. Having often wanted to consult out of print publications for my research (even when sites like Amazon made it easier to buy them if they were in print), I have been awaiting a breakthrough of on demand printing for some time now.
