Ponderings For 2007-04-16
- Looks like Jericho is gonna get a second season pickup. I still say the show is better than Heroes, but what do I know…
- Frickin’ finally! Universal actually follows through and announced the second (and final) volume of Baa Baa Black Sheep (aka Black Sheep Squadron) for DVD release. Bout time, Universal. Now, Sony, where is that second and final volume of Ned & Stacey?????
- What’s this? Edward Norton cast as Bruce Banner/Hulk? I liked the previous Hulk live action film directed by Ang Lee and starring Eric Bana more than most everyone I know, but hearing that Norton has been cast in the lead makes me extremely anxious to see the film. He’s one of my favorite actors, so my ticket is already presold.
- Wow, I forgot just how young Ricky Schroder was in the early years of Silver Spoons. Yikes.
- This site was linked over on DIGG as the worst web site ever. If it ain’t, it’s surely a serious contender.
- So, Chicago as a 2016 Olympic candidate? Interesting.
- Seeing as the dual political party system has all but destroyed the US political system by this point, here’s as good a reason as any for me to not vote democrat next year (not that I ever have to date).
- A collection of amazing cloud formations.
- Just listened to Ron Moore’s podcast commentary to the season finale episode of Battlestar. The podcast was late being posted, but is surely better late than never. It reiterates much of what was said in the posted Frak Party audio recording, but has some other insights. It’s fun listening to him mention his earlier commentary on Maelstrom, and pointing out that he tried to walk the thin line between misleading the audience and lying to them. At any rate, I look forward to next season, and any other fun materials they post up between now and then.
- I’d like to praise this weekend’s episode of Doctor Who (3.03: Gridlock) for one of the most delightfully bleak moments of hope seen on screen (”The Old Rugged Cross”). It shows writer/producer Russell T. Davies’ strange sense of humor in glorious color.
- Added Disturbia (7) to the 2007 Film Order list. A pretty good thriller, but nothing spectacular.
Random Fact Of The Day: In 1647 the English Parliament abolished Christmas.
Dialog Of The Day: “Well… We talked. And… and then he ripped out the heart of a demon and fed it to me… and then we talked some more.” (Buffy Summer, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy 3.18)
Video Of The Day: A surfer on a tiny little wave
