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.
