My review of Batman: Gotham Knight is in the latest Austin Chronicle.
| Quote: |
| Set between the events of Batman Begins (2005) and this summer’s The Dark Knight, Batman: Gotham Knight offers six animated visions of the Caped Crusader as envisioned by six unique animé directors and six different writers. This third original direct-to-DVD release in the DC Universe Original Animated Movies line loosely weaves the divergent pieces into a coherent storyline. |

According to the British tabloid The Sun, the religious group Christian Voice had this to say about the forthcoming Black Canary Barbie:
| Quote: |
| Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far.
A children’s doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible – it’s filth. |

Not surprisingly, I subscribe to a couple of Bettie Page mailing lists. From time to time, comics will be discussed. Tim Pilcher’s Erotic Comics: A Graphic History from Tijuana Bibles to Underground Comix came up and unbeknownst to me, I am quoted on p. 118. Wonder what I said…
(Thanks, Herb.)

Matt Staggs interviewed me for his blog Enter the Octopus. We talked about geekdom, my grandfather, my new SF Site column, and other related topics.

| Matt: Is there a history of “geeks” of different sorts in your family?
Rick: Sort of… my uncle is a huge film geek. Matter of fact, about once a month or so, we’ll have a conversation about various monster movies. He goes to serial conventions. My sister treats “geek” like it’s a dirty word or there is something wrong with it. I’ve taken great pride in making my nephew (her oldest son) into a geek. By the time he was five, he knew all the Godzilla monsters and the related mythos. He called me the other day and was discussing the philosopher’s stone and homonculi with me. He’s 11. |
This may be the first interview I’ve ever done with no mention of gorillas or apes!

The trailer, littered with explosions and quasi-X-Files moments, shows exactly what I feared from this film. The original was a thoughtful, quiet film that successfully explored paranioa. The beautifully written and directed picture perfectly captured science fiction movies of the era. Then on second thought with explosions and overt paranoid elements, this new version may sadly capture the science fiction movies of the current era.
