RevolutionSF Newsblast is your latest look at sequels, lawsuits, and everything that makes us love science fiction. Today's sponsor: Star Trek cologne. Make the ladies say, "Is that Captain Kirk I smell?

No Way To Escape Philip K. Dick Headline Pun

Lawsuits are fun. Philip K. Dick's fifth wife is suing over money for the novels A Scanner Darkly and Ubik. She said in their 1976 divorce, she was supposed to get paid, but she didn't. So she's suing PKD's children's company Electric Shepherd that manages the rights to his stuff. In other words, she says she's been screwed by the Dicks.

Look, I can't help it. It was too easy. I am only flesh and blood.

Hobbit Movies To Be About Hobbit

Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro say the Hobbit will now be two movies. Before, they said one would be a newly created story that bridges Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring.

Well, that's just great. Now we won't have any new Tolkien related stuff to write dissertations about! We memorized Hobbit years ago! We'll have to start on Dune. Now that is a series where people know how to squeeze it dry.

Pushing Daisies / Heroes Guy Wants Hot Actresses in Star Trek

Bryan Fuller said he has an idea for a Star Trek TV series, but he didn't say what it was. Then he said he wants Rosario Dawson and Angela Bassett in it. Obviously Fuller wants to populate his new show with women who became stars in the 1990s. He must also want Natalie Merchant as a Klingon. Surely.

Nathan Fillion Offers Grave Message

Nathan Fillion says his quote from Dr. Horrible, "The hammer is my penis," will go on his his headstone. One might assume he is joking. I choose to believe him, as I believe all famous people. So the penis thing, that would rule.

Hopefully it starts a trend of people talking about their junk on their grave. Forever in marble, a willie reference. I say when you die, have fun with it.

Starlog Moves Into RevolutionSF's Neighborhood

Back when there was no Internet, the only place to get sci-fi information was Starlog. Now it's taking a break from magazine making, and going online only at Starlog.com.

At long last! Now there is finally a magazine on the Internet that writes about sci-fi stuff.


RevolutionSF's Joe Crowe just wants to rule it.

What number appears here?  

This may earn me a spot in the SF Weirodes Hall of Shame, but... am I the only person who thinks that Starlog is a cosmic joke of a mag?
