Yeh, I went with friends last year to see the last Harry Potter on the local IMAX theather in Birmingham, AL … pieces of the screen were torn or tearing, hanging down. Huge waste of money!

#9 & #10 – Yeah seriously. Firefly should be numero uno on that list, and if not that IT SHOUDLD BE AT LEAST ON THERE.

Super excited for Caprica, the future of BSG, and definitely excited for The Dark Knight.

Well what do you mean Doug? That the last cylon is either Zoe or Tamara?

ACK – am I the only one who figured out, after reading the plot ’synopsis’ of Caprica, the key to understanding the rest of the BSG series?

“smatter of fact, it hit like ton of bricks. Anyone else?

I wonder if the IMAX Dark Knight will be a shortened version?
I’ll pass anyway. IMAX is just TOO damn uncomfortable a format to view a “normal” movie in.
I wish someone would shoot a movie with Doug Trumbull’s 60 frame-per-second, 70mm Showscan process.
It’s used in simulator rides and it provides an almost 3D effect.

Interesting bit about Buzz Aldrin. I have often wondred if sci fi HAS been in part to blame for what seems to be little interest in real space flight.

On the topic of X-Files, I wonder about the wisdom of casting Peet and Xzibit. Although I can understand that TPTB probably didn’t want any co-stars to overshadow and leads, I think the cast palette could have been widened a bit.

I’m watching Book TV on C-SPAN. John Gorenfeld is talking about his book, “Bad Moon Rising”–nothing to do with this column, except there is a poster for Outlander in the backgound. It takes up 30 percent of screen. It’s like a plug for Outlander. I noticed it because there is a picture of a horse on it. Looks like a Percheron.

18. [The] TOS Purist aka The Purolator – July 13, 2008
“I wonder if people would be raving about Heath Ledger’s Joker to the same extent if he was still alive. For some reason I get the impression that maybe the performance isn’t THAT spectacular…it’s just that the actor died tragically and that makes people think they have to adore him. Would they be just as “OMG HEATH LEDGER IS THE JOKER!!11!!” if he were still alive??”

I guess we wait and see.
