Just a few random things...
You may or may not have noticed that I haven't been updating Livejournal much lately. Well I can't stay away from it for too long.
This picture is pretty interesting to me it talks about the tallest buildings in the world. Most of the tallest ones are either under construction it seems and Taiwan currently holds the title after the WTC fell. I've seen shows about most of those skyscrapers on TV at one time or another.
I read recently that Billie Piper is returning to Doctor Who in season 4. When I read that I thought of how I said when she left that if she wanted to return they could find a way to write her back in. Nothings impossible in the Whoniverse. I didn't think they would bring back The Master for example after he got sucked into the eye of harmony. But the current writers\producers aren't letting anything get in their way for writing new stories for the series.
I've read on Wikipedia that in addition to the Ghostbusters game that they are going to make a CGI movie. That movie is going to have a different story than the game and they say it's going to revolve around the Ghostbusters fighting ghosts that where rejected from hell because it's too full. Then it also involves a man in high power who is Lucifer in disguise. I don't know how true all that is but it does sound interesting. I'm excited for anything new Ghostbusters.
Speaking of stuff that is interesting I was watching Tin Man on the Sci-Fi channel tonight. It's got the flavor of a Sci-Fi remake that's for sure with desaturated colors and a more serious tone, etc. (sort of like giving it the BSG treatment). I still have to watch the rest to give a full judgement but at this point I think it's interesting but it can't replace any of the old movies\stories... even Return to Oz. I like different things for different reasons. Although the old movie is pretty dated and I like seeing a more realistic\darker\closer to the book version of the story. But I wouldn't mind seeing one that sticks closer to the story and is still modern. Like it wouldn't be all cutesy and have singing but it wouldn't be like Tin Man. I find it interesting that there are more than one book in the Oz series but they haven't really been translated except for two of the books. Anyway watching Tin Man reminds me of how stories get changed and more exaggerated as time goes by as it gets retold over and over. In this story however the idea is reversed. For example the title character usually literally a man made out of tin but in this series Tin Man refers to the tin of his police badge... and he was stuck in an iron maiden type restraining device. He also didn't literally not have a heart but some people accuses him of being heartless. It's kind of like they are saying, "This is the true story that spawned the legend".
A thing I hate though is how on my cable I can't get surround sound on the Sci-Fi channel. It kind of spoils it for me a bit watching anything on there because of that.
