Whoa! Apparently, I have a life! I've only seen 77 of these movies listed. Amazing. Who'd'a thunk.


.

I have a life!

I just don't know

Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) has been cast as a young Spock in the next Star Trek movie, which will feature younger versions of the familiar original series characters.

I think he'll make a good "young Spock". But I think the entire idea of movies featuring the original characters when they were younger is a bad idea. The ST movies (and the entire franchise) have been suffering for awhile. Voyager wasn't that great. Enterprise was just plain awful. Even when Enterprise was good, it still didn't compare to mediocre episodes of some of the other series. Even with the cheese factor all the series have.

Let the movies/tv side of the franchise rest for awhile - just continue to explore the universe in the novels.

Now Star Wars.... I am looking forward to the new SW cartoon and the eventual live-action series they have planned.

I just don't know

Evansville Book To Be A Movie?

Awhile back, I read Invitation To Valhalla, a spy novel by an Evansville high school history teacher. Set during WWII, about a spy living in Evansville spying on the local shipyards; it's a good book. Great story, familiar settings.

Now it's possible it could be made into a movie.

How cool is that?

Belated Happy Anniversary

To Star Wars. I forgot to post something about it a week ago during the "official" 30th anniversary of the original release of Star Wars.

I first saw Star Wars, the original, in the theater with my older brother and my youngest older sister one Sunday afternoon after church. I remember being five years old, which would make it the late summer of 1978, was Star Wars still in theaters at that point? If not, then I must have been four years old when I first saw it.

That's really all I remember about it. I remember a little more about the trip itself, but not seeing the movie for the first time. I remember my sister and her friends didn't want to sit with my brother and his friends, and I had to choose which group to sit with. I chose both, and ran back and forth between the groups at least once during the movie. I think my sister got mad at me for that.

I've been a Star Wars geek ever since.

Belated Happy Anniversary

ahhhhh.....

Getting away from work is nice.

Taking a couple days off from work this weekend so Rubi and I can spend a couple of days in Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Film Festival. She'll also get to hit a couple of scrapbooking stores.

Rubi's parents (they rock!) are taking all three kids for the weekend so it's just Rubi and I going. We're calling an early anniversary celebration.

Our 13th anniversary is next month. The same weekend as Elizabeth's birthday and Mother's Day. We're spreading the celebrating out. Our celebration is this weekend. Mom's Day is on Mom's day, and we're having Elizabeth's birthday party the following weekend.

We will miss most of the celebrating of Guild Wars 2nd birthday on-line this week. Lots of cool in-game stuff this weekend. It is sad that we're kinda disappointed that we're going to miss that.

ahhhhh.....

THINKS for March 7, 2007

Blogger ate my last two mail-to-blogger posts - or rather, it stuck them in Drafts instead of automatically publishing them. So everything popped up today even though they are dated when I actually wrote them.
Blogger says they have that fixed, but we'll see. Maybe it's a DST issue occurring early.

I've been playing Guild Wars occasionally since I got it a couple of weeks ago - maybe eight hours total playing time. I rarely play for more than an hour or so. I haven't gotten into the "real" part of the game yet - I'm sticking in the "learning environment" part gaining experience and skills and just getting to know the game. I like it, it's fun, but it's a time-waster - as in: I could probably be doing more productive things instead of playing a computer game; like napping. I've gotta try to figure out how to play it while I walk on the treadmill Rubi and I bought yesterday.

Also, just to let you know: I think I have a terrible disease called Lethonomia. Really. I'm pretty sure there's no cure for it. Except for maybe flash cards with pictures.

As for the recent news from Marvel Comics - holy Cap! I can't believe they did that! Is Joss Whedon writing for them?

If you are, like me, quite fond of free stuff, or in other words, Free Stuff Rocks!, you might want to check out The Free Geek.

There's been much hype recently over the "discovery" of the "tomb of Jesus". Here's a good rebuttal to that.

You haven't bought a copy of Serenity on DVD yet? Are you nuts?! Well, wait a bit longer and buy the Special Edition! (or buy four copies and share them around.)

Sticking with the `verse, check out this Firefly video:



More Whedon: the Buffy Season 8 comic premieres later this month (next week I think). Here's a refresher of who's who if you need it.

Here's some disappointing news. Why are they actually going forward with that project?

I could have fun with this all day.

Have you wondered what would happen if an astronaut went crazy (while in space that is)? NASA has an SOP.

I guess that's it for now. Back to work.


THINKS: Kev's term combining the words Things and Links: an assortment of images, links, games, trivia, memes, minutia, and whatnot found while browsing and mentioned collectively in a blog or message-board posts.

THINKS For February 23, 2007

Real Life has been Trumping Blogging lately. I've still found the time to surf the internet - but no real time to write about anything useful. I'm in the middle of three different books - One I'm reading for a review, one I'm reading that I got from the library because it sounded interesting, and one I'm reading because I want to (and I own it, so there's no deadline to have it finished by). Eventually, I'll post reviews. Actually, I did finish another book recently, I just haven't gotten around to writing about it. But I have been remembering to email myself interesting links and other things that I want to post.

Here they are:

Here's a video on preventing Identity Theft.

Old news now - but House and Bones have been renewed. Rubi and I get to watch more TV together!

Here's a funny story about a kid dropping his mp3 player in the toilet and his moms reaction.

THINKS For February 23, 2007

Firefly/Serenity Meme

Number of times you’ve seen the whole series (to your best estimate):
I'd guestimate at least 5. Not much more than that.

Number of times you’ve seen the movie:
At least 4 times.

Favorite character (and why, if you want):
From the main cast, I can't narrow it down. They are all great.

Least favorite character (and why, if you want):
Niska. You are a crazy old man. Go lie down and take a nap!

Favorite episode (and why, if you want):
Maybe "Jaynestown," maybe "Serenity" (the pilot) - almost all of them are just as good.

Least favorite episode (and why, if you want):
"The Train Job". This was my first introduction to Firefly when it premiered on Fox. I didn't think the show was worth trying to figure out when Fox was airing to keep up with it. I only came back to FF just before the movie came out because the fans were raving about it. Maybe "Heart of Gold", as the laser gun/horse riding thing was a little too out-there for me. Although that is surely a good definition for FF: horseback riding and laser guns.

Favorite quote:
Too many to name. Whedon is an awesome writer and can really turn the language on it's head to express feelings.

Favorite scene:
The dining room scene in "Out of Gas." The Firefly Talk podcast uses the audio from this as an intro and it's just so much fun. Definitely shows how the crew has become a family.

Your opinion of the movie: love it, shove it, or mixed feelings:
Mixed feelings. It wasn't long enough to showcase every character and introduced some new ones that we didn't really need. I loved going back into the `verse and continuing the story. But I want more!!

Favorite canon pairing:
Zoe and Wash.

Favorite non-canon pairing:
To quote KRAD, "This is a stupid question."

In brief, what got you hooked?:
The fans. The movie was about to come out and I kept hearing rumblings on the internet from general SF-fans (not the browncoat community specifically as I hadn't gotten into that yet). So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and see the series before the movie.

Your favorite theory on Book’s background:
I don't know what all the different theories are, so I can't say.

Your favorite theory on Inara’s reasons for leaving Sihnon:
Again: I haven't heard all the theories, so I can't say.

Will Mal and Inara ever get together?
If I know Whedon: yes, then no, then yes, then no, then maybe... then they'll be best friends.

Will Simon and Kaylee stay together?
Again: If I know Whedon: probably not, but I sure hope so.

Will River stay (or get) on the road to mental health?
Isn't that what happened at the end of the movie? I think she'll always be messed up because of the always feeling everyone's emotions - but much of her dementia came from the locked up and repressed knowledge of the Reavers. Now that that's out of the way, she can at least try to adapt to the psychic abilities.

Favorite Firefly fanfic:
Never read any. I've heard a few (on podcasts). I have to say "Old Wounds" was an excellent story.

Is Firefly your main fandom now?
Probably. I was never really "into" a fandom. But I'd say FF and Star Wars are my main fandoms that I'd get involved with. I like all kinds of things (the 'Gates, BSG, Heroes, etc), but as for the fan community - it's FF and SW for me.

What are your top 2 other fandoms?
Oh... I think I just answered that.

I fell asleep during Citizen Kane and didn't finish American Beauty because it was such an awful movie - do those two count?

Movie Meme 2007

SFSignal posted the following movie meme - so I'll do it too.

The list of 2007 genre movies follows. It's sorted alphabetically since release dates change and are geo-centric. Titles are pulled from Dark Horizons, SciFi Movie Page and IMDB.

Highlight the genre movies you are anticipating, as follows:
- BOLD for movies you want to see in the theater
- ITALICS for movies that you'll wait for the DVD release
-Red font for movies I care nothing about seeing.
-Green font for movies I've never heard of.

Arthur and the Invisibles
Fanboys
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Ghost Rider
Halloween
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass
I Am Legend
Meet the Robinsons
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
Resident Evil 3: Extinction
Shrek the Third
Spider-Man 3
Stardust
Sunshine
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Astronaut Farmer
The Dark Is Rising
The Invasion
The Martian Child
The Mist
Transformers
Underdog

I haven't even heard of some of those movies!
I will definitely see Transformers at the theater - maybe opening night if I can swing it. Hopefully they'll do a midnight a showing - that'd make it easier.
Rubi and I have made it a point to see that last two Spiderman movies in the theater - so we'll probably make a date of that.
I haven't seen FF1 yet, but the trailer for Rise of the Silver Surfer rocks! So I'll be seeing that at some point - most likely on DVD.
I haven't heard much about Underdog, so I don't know if it will be like the Rocky & Bullwinkle and the Scooby Doo movies, or if they'll take it a little more serious. Either way - that's a definite not in the theater.
TMNT: I'm torn, I'd like to see it on the big screen, but I rarely get to see movies in the theater so I don't want to "waste" my movie going time when I might use that for a date with Rubi. After I see the reviews, maybe I'll be able to take my kids to see it (at least Alexander), but I think probably he's not old enough for it yet.
AvP2 I will definitely wait for DVD. In fact, I'll probably read the novelization first - because I don't like gore, and if the book mentions too much gore, I'll probably just skim through the movie for the good parts.
I've heard good things about Fanboys, but again: I only get to go to the theater a limited number of times each year, usually on dates with my darling wife - so I have to save those up for the movies that really count. TF is the exception to that, unless Rubi wants to geek out with me.

I'm just waiting til Elizabeth is a little older. We'll make her babysit so Rubi and I can go out on dates more often!
