Now that's a great big oops. For those of you pondering, yes, I did send this to get published prior to actually finishing writing the post. The Save and Post buttons are awfully close together.
Anyways, without further ado, here is the genre stuff that made it through my memory filters and piqued my interest over the past week:
- MTV Movies is reporting that the live-action Star Wars television series is casting. I'm expecting literary canon to once again be tossed aside, as George Lucas rolls out Jar Jar's young, Ewok cousin, Bo-Bo. Even better, it promises to be set in the Dark Times, and not feature a single Jedi or Sith--because that lack of Jedi worked oh, so well, for Star Wars Galaxies.
Coraline.com has posted a pattern for that navy-star-filled sweater (see picture to the right) which the title character of that movie wears. Find it here.- On Wednesday, I found out that I'm jealous of a 14-year-old's birthday cake. The Great White Snark provided us all a look at a Serenity-based cake, and it looked both delicious and awesome.
- We also can't forget the Periodic Table of Cartoons. Though, I find it odd that there's no Silverhawks, The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers or Thundercats... talk about lacking the 80's love...
- The nominees for a Saturn award (which is like the Oscars, except socially acceptable) are out. I'll list the nominees at the bottom of this post. Though I am left wondering about the sanity of the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films at some of their picks (Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull?!? Did they see the same movie that I did??)
- And speaking of movies, IO9 is reporting that there's a remake of Stephen King's IT in the pipes. I for one am trying to figure out how they're going to best Tim Curry's awesome portrayal of Pennywise.
As an aside, a majority of my sites (www.wrighton.org, www.krashpad.com, www.TheExpandedUniverse.com) have gone down due to something at my host. They promised a 99.9% uptime, but it's been days now, and that .1% deviance is starting to become annoying. I fear I may have to move away from GoDaddy.com and find myself a new host.
