Coming out of the closet...

Okay, I'm facing up to the fact that I'm a closet sci-fi fan.  I've tried to deny it, but alas, all the signs are there.  Although I don't like all sci-fi stuff (No Star Trek thank-you), I do tend to lean towards the magical relm of science fiction.  What are my favorite movies?  Well lets look at some of them: Star Wars 1-6; Harry Potter 1-4; Underworld 1&2, and let's not forget josiejunk's favorite of mine Bad Boys II...hmm is there a recurring theme here?

 

I've also written my first letter to a network in support of renewing a show for a second season.  It is Sci-Fi's The Dresden Files, based on the novels by Jim Butcher.  I happened to watch the show on a whim and it was really good, so I picked up the books and have read 6 so far.  I've seen the all of the Season One episodes of The Dresden Files, and they are all entertaining.  Plus Paul Blackthorne plays Harry Dresden, and he is HOT.  He's 6' 4", dark hair and dark eyes - ruggedly handsome.  He's English, but uses an American accent on the show.  (Too bad, the English accent is way hotter).  Just 'google' him ladies, you'll see what I'm talking about!

 

I've also read all the Harry Potter books.  In high-school I read all of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches' series and a few of The Vampire Chronicals.  But I never did get into shows like Buffy or Angel and I don't watch Stargate - I guess I have very particular tastes when it comes to what sci-fi I do like.

 

I did pick up a couple of Tanya Huff's books, because I saw a review that said if you like Huff, then you would really like Jim Butcher's novels - I figured the opposite would be true as well.
