Back after four years
OK, so I’ve dropped the ball on updating Chaos Magnet. Yes, it has actually been four years since I last posted. Even I couldn’t believe it! I won’t bore you with what the last four years have been like. Suffice to say I’ve moved three times (or is it four) and I’m happy to say [...]
Briscoe County Jr. on DVD!
I am officially very excited to announce that Bruce Campbell‘s Briscoe County Jr. is coming to DVD on July 18, 2006. If you’ve never seen the show, it’s a tongue-in-cheek western with science-fiction elements. It’s also hilarious, and just plain fun.
Star Wars is coming to TV
Yes, yes, I know they’ve been talking about this since, what, before Revenge of the Sith? But today I found an article in which Rick McCallum says it’ll be about Luke’s childhood, and that they plan to make at least 100 episodes of it. You know, they say a goal is just a dream until [...]
Are video games better SF vehicles than movies?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while. I’m not really a gamer, but that’s only because of lack of time. (And I’m still waiting for Star Wars: Galaxies to finish downloading updates. I installed it on Sunday night, and it says it’ll be done Wednesday afternoon. Damn dial-up.) But there’s something about good science [...]
Long Way Round, Revenge of the Sith on DVD
I’m excited to report that today I received an e-mail from Amazon that a US version of the Long Way Round DVD is finally going to be released on December 13, and you can order it now. For those who don’t remember my ranting about it before, this is a series that follows Ewan MacGregor [...]
Hitchhiker’s: vastly, staggeringly, jaw-droppingly bad
My mother called me yesterday to tell me that there was a move called Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and I should make sure I bring my towel. My mother’s well-intentioned attempt to reconnect with my childhood aside, I’ve seen the trailer and not only do I not intend to bring my towel, I don’t [...]
The new Doctor Who
I’ve been hearingthat the BBC is bringing back Doctor Who since … oh … right after they cancelled it, I think. But no, this time they really are, and
Fantastic music, and lots of it
I love to listen to soundtracks, particularly when I’m writing, but I have a limited collection to listen to. (Still trying to scrape together the money for Pirates of the Caribbean. Definitely a winner!) Now I’ve discovered StreamingSoundtracks.com and I am in musical heaven. The site has hundreds of soundtracks available to listen to, but [...]
