Lucas sold LucasFilm to Disney. They plan to issue new Star Wars films every three years or so.

I am speechless. I mean, what?

Community more and more reminds me of Farscape. Characters that should be cliches seem so very real. And be willing to take real chances with the real danger of screwing up badly. But also, giving themselves the chance to do episodes that are truly amazing.

Pulp Fiction morphing into My Dinner with Andre? That's just fucking brilliant.

The city smells terrific with the lilacs and trees in bloom. The air is quite literally sweet and the views beautiful ( Read more... )

I'm still trying to figure out if I'm on the second or third row:

Just say on Scifi.com that Claudia Black will be a regular on SG1 next season.

SG1 is NOT my favorite show; but I watched it this last season for Ben & Claudia. Looks like I will next season as well.

I just finished Sybille Bedford's A Favorite of the Gods, which I enjoyed - BUT - why are there so many books about pretty, white, rich people feeling sorry for themselves?
