Someone asked me if I only watch Science Fiction TV shows and movies, “Do you read any books? So here are the books I read this month.
First was Kim Stanley Robinson’s Fifty Degrees Below. I read the first couple chapters and then just skimmed the rest. I’m not going to say it’s not good, it […]
What is rumor and what is fact? It’s really hard to tell at this point. There have been rumors and speculations of who will be cast as Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy, and also when and where filming will commence.
It will be a tough job filling the roles of the original series cast […]
A Princess of Mars is doomed. Paramount Pictures has given up. But wait, Disney, who tried to film it in the 1980s, has picked it up and is going to try again. This time it will be a Pixar animated film or more likely Pixar’s first live-action animated combo film. However, even though the project […]
After a long and prosperous relationship between the two companies, Diamond Select Toys and Collectibles (DST) has announced its acquisition of select assets of New York-based Art Asylum Inc., effective immediately!
The effects of the acquisition will be felt immediately in the toy industry, as the fast growing DST now has the added value of an […]
We saw a couple new shows on TV. The first was Hyperdrive on BBCAmerica. I made it through about 3/4 of the show before I gave up and deleted it (I use Tivo). Someone out there must like it, because they just finished filming the second season; however, I found the humor predictable, gross, and […]
Have you seen “How William Shatner Changed the Worldâ€?? It was an okay documentary but didn’t add much to what fans already knew. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought my cell phone was like a communicator. Still I think it’s worth watching for the shot of two guys pulling ropes on either […]
A quick Star Trek 11 update. Paramount has tapped Lost and Alias creator, JJ Abrams, to produce and direct Star Trek 11 (though Paramount is saying Variety jumped the gun on that announcement). In an interview with Robert Sanchez, of The Movie Reporter, Abrams’ friend Greg Grunberg has no problem discussing the possibility of Abrams writing […]
Surprising? Not really. They brought back the TV show and that is doing well and with CGI technology becoming the norm today, why not another movie to boost the sales of backpacks, shirts, action figures, etc.
The CGI film is set to release March 30, 2007 but we should see the trailer during “Ant Bully” which […]
I went to the library to check out A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I could have saved myself a trip, the copyright has expired and there are several places on the internet (such as http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/pmars-table.html) where you can read the entire book, but I still like to read off paper.
The librarian who […]
The March issue of Starlog has a nice interview with Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation) based on his appearance in the show Threshold, but after the interview, and before it could be published, CBS cancelled the show. It lasted less than 3 months. I remember reading about it last summer in […]
