Arisia Schedule
So who will I be seeing there?
Friday 6PM:
It's An Online Life, For Us! - 1hr - Paul Revere B
As MMORPGs and other online worlds such as SecondLife become more popular, they present a unique set of challenges and opportunities. How has the incredible growth in these areas positively and negatively affected the "real world"?
Saturday 3PM:
Remakes, Reboots and Reimaginings, Oh My! - 1hr - Paul Revere A
The new BSG has had its finale, we've gotten new Terminator and Star Trek movies, as well as the return of "V" and "The Prisoner." There's a balance between "hooray, it's coming back!" and "wait, that's not the show/movie/book I remember." Is this resurrection or grave robbing?
Saturday 6PM:
Repo!-The Next Great Cult Film - 1hr - Paul Revere B
Repo! The Genetic Opera is following in the footsteps of Rocky Horror. Shadowcasts are appearing all over the country, with hordes of dedicated fans turning out for every showing. Some people say it's "Too good" to be turned into the next Rocky, but obviously lots of others feel differently. How did this film capture the hearts and minds of geeks, and does it have the staying power of Rocky?
