I'm not going to worry about spoiler tagging this, since it's not really a spoiler so much as a policy announcement made "in universe".

In an upcoming episode of The Sarah-Jane Adventures, Matt Smith will be popping in as the Doctor and at one point, when questioned about the process of regeneration will declare that there are "no limits ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've gone seriously geek about a game (as in a particular play session, not a particular game), but last night I watched what had to be one of the DUMBEST games of "Risk" unfold before me ( Read more... )

I have actually read it floated around the internet that some people are proposing that maybe, possibly, it might be a good idea... in the interests of everyone, really... if maybe Terry "Not a Member of Monty Python" Jones and his congregation decided not to go through with International Burn a Quran Day on Saturday that maybe the Park51 group ( Read more... )

Ron Howard talks up the development of the movie-tv series-movie-tv series-movie sequence he's planning for the adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower.

I just... I don't like it. Okay, let me clarify - I love the idea of 3 theatrical films tied to a two-season TV show in between the movies. That's the pure multimedia horse that this Star ( Read more... )

So I'm up to the midway point of Season 1 of Babylon 5, which I admit I'm going through at a snail's pace. Part of it is that the show hasn't particularly grabbed me yet, another is that the parts of it that are piquing my interest all deal with Sinclair and his lost 24-hours at the end of the Earth-Minbari War. Which is unfortunate, because I ( Read more... )

Peter Gabriel is on tour doing some of his songs with a full orchestra backing him instead of his normal band. I'm sure that some of his stuff, like "In Your Eyes" or "Down to Earth" would sound great that way, but I cannot get my head around an orchestral version of "Sledgehammer" - it'd be like Alanis Morissette's ultra-slow version of "My Humps ( Read more... )

Last week, we got Gary Kurtz thumping his chest and saying, "Everything went wrong with Star Wars after I left".

This week, Harve Bennet is lambasting JJ Abrams' Star Trek and badmouthing Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (which deserves some badmouthing, sure, but talk about random and out of nowhere ( Read more... )

One thing I got caught on during my watch of Babylon 5's pilot yesterday... at one point, Sinclair's girlfriend mentions that she bought "frictionless bedsheets". Which seemed ridiculous to me at the time, but is an idea my brain just won't let go of ( Read more... )

Been a while since I did any reviewin' and critiquin'. Just not in a pontificating mood, I guess.

Nevertheless, it's been a summer, and it's time to look back on the entertainment what's been had.

The clear winner of the summer would have to be Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which hit every note I went in wanting to see perfectly. It was exactly ( Read more... )

It's been announced that Jane Badler would be joining the cast of V (re-joining?) as Diana, mother of Morena Baccarin's Anna. Barring some space-time gymnastics to rival the Series 5 finale of Doctor Who, I'm thinking that this will not be the same Diana she played in the original V, just a bit of a nod ( Read more... )
