Two days of driving later, I am now firmly ensconced in a suite with the wife and brood in San Antonio, Texas. I will continue my semi-normal sporadic postings momentarily. For the two people who normally read my blog, my apologizes.

Hooray! More scenes! More action! More Ledger!

First off, to my old friend John Champion (who told me last week he had not even seen the third series) – DON’T READ THIS. OK, for everyone else, this page has almost a scene-by-scene preview of Saturday’s episode.

This set of blueprints (yes, I know, blueprints for fictional equipment and spaceships are uber-geeky but hey, I gotta be me) will be coming out this fall. I’m on the waiting list. Sigh.

Many nuWho fans have already seen this, but I showed it to my wife the other day (who I think is even more obsessed with Doctor Who than I am) and thought it would be appropriate to embed here to…

I’m thinking that Donna is going to be revealed as something other than a “temp” that the Doctor just happened to meet twice (the end of this last week’s episode certainly laid the groundwork/telegraphed such a reveal). So here’s who…

EW published a list of the “New Classics” – the top 100 movies from the last 25 years – and the editors’ selections were… well, really bad. Here’s their top 10:  1. Pulp Fiction (1994) 2. The Lord of the Rings…

Here’s an International poster. The most coolest thing? Duke has the cheek scar (from the original 12″ figure!) Hooray!

I woke up to news that George Carlin had died, and almost immediately said the 7 words you can’t saw on television in response. Carlin was one of the funniest men on the planet, and he will be missed. 

I have attended Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World in Florida for three years running… until this year. A family reunion in Texas and an aggressive plan to reduce our consumer debt prevented that from happening in ’08 (and…

Yes, more nuWho stuff… Here’s our first look on video of Davros, from next week’s Doctor Who series finale (part one). [youtube]-dD1Yr-9O3w[/youtube]

BRILLIANT episode, and yes, it did have plot holes big enough to fly a Tardis through, but all I can say about that is “Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey.” Lots of reviews here. All us folks in the states need to…

Another hat tip to Mark Evanier from Newsfromme.com for pointing me to this: Joe Cocker’s performance from Woodstock, translated for the clear-headed. Very funny. [youtube]T4_MsrsKzMM[/youtube]

MGM just announced they will be putting out six James Bond movies this fall for the first time in high-def… Details here. But.. The initial titles… Hmm. Dr. No? Good choice. Live and Let Die? OK, first Roger Moore Bond, that’s cool……

Hasn’t broken in the national press yet, but AICN is reporting that Stan Winston has passed away. Winston was a genius in the field of motion picture special effects and creature design, and he has many many films to his…

I’ve been testing several designs lately and have come upon a realization… We are very impatient people. The users I have tested have a very low tolerance for “hoops” they have to jump through to accomplish a task. Even if…
