FallCon 2005 recap
It took me three weeks due to vacation and illness…and prepping all the images, of which there are many…but here is my summary of FallCon 2005. Sorry it’s a bit late, but I think it’s worth it. FallCon is the annual October two-day convention held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul, MN, by …

By the way, Today’s Halloween
Mark Steyn’s horror movie reviews come off as a bit whiney, though it would be hard not to whine when the subjects are “The Blair Witch Project,” “Interview With The Vampire,” “Wolf” and “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.” Especially “Blair Witch.” It’s fashionable to hate the movie now, but I hated it back before it was hip. …

Bruce Bachand misses golden opportunity
I saw that news item about George Takei and clicked over to Monitor Duty to begin my write-up, my mind culling Star Trek trivia for the appropriate headline. “Mr. Sulu, you have the Coming Out.” “Star Trek cast now even more diverse.” “Gold for command, red for security…what’s pink?” “When did Mr. Sulu find the …

Just What Are They Saying In Chinese?
A few days ago, possibly last week, duivba and I were discussing Firefly and Serenity and he stated that he wished he knew what the characters were saying when they were speaking in Chinese. I found the Firefly-Serenity Chinese Pinyinary so now we can look up what Mal, Wash, and the others are saying when …

Is “Dark Knight, Dark City” a Story Worth Reading?
Greg Burgas asserts that it is. I’ve only read a few issues of this Batman storyline but I dislike the use of the Riddler to suffocate babies and….. the story is bleck gross in my view.

More Donner Superman II Data
This is only historical stuff, but I actually do recall viewing some of this deleted footage that is being discussed. I’ll stand by these anecdotes.

Richard Donner is working on Superman Again
Let’s see if I can summarize this concisely, properly, and accurately. Way back in the day Richard Donner directed Superman: the Movie and filmed both that film and Superman II simultaneously, much like what Peter Jackson did for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and what the Watchowski Brothers did with the last two Matrix …

I’m a big gorilla, and I want a big serial!
King Kong might get renamed King Long. Peter Jackson has negoitated a 3 hour running time for the new King Kong. That means fewer showings a day for a movie that is now trying to make up for a $200 million budget. But I predict that this movie will be far more successfull than Spielberg’s …

Are all the Teen Titans going to be in the cartoon?
In case you didn’t know, the new season of the animated Teen Titans has launched a season-long storyline pitting the Titans against the Brotherhood of Evil (after kicking off with a surprisingly faithful Doom Patrol two-parter). This led into the Brotherhood uniting ALL of the Titans enemies…which is rather similar to the season-long Legion of …

Alan Kistler’s Profile On: THE MARTIAN MANHUNTER
He has super-strength, telepathy, bullet-proof skin, shape-shifting (which also allows invisibility and intangibility), Martian vision, some super-speed, and flight. Even with all his power, he prides himself moreso on being a detective and having a finely trained analytical/tactical mind. He’s been alive for centuries and may still be alive long after this planet is gone. …

This might be a bad movie, but it has a great trailer!
Slither looks to be another horror/comedy akin to “Eight Legged Freaks”, albeit with many more legit scary parts. And it stars Nathan Fillion (Captain Mal of “Serenity”).

New “Chronicles of Narnia” Trailer … Truly Staggering To See!
There is a glorious new trailer here. You know, I really should read these kinds of books (i.e., Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, etc.). I think this movie is gonna kick some serious Narnia butt!
