Ponderings For 2007-11-20
posted in Ponderings |- Yeah, the many reviews for which I’m behind will finally start to show up over the holiday weekend. For a list of what I’ve seen that don’t yet have reviews posted, just check out the latter part of my 2007 viewing log.
- I’m enjoying listening to Alan Silvestri’s great Beowulf score on CD (released today) as I type this. Great score (great movie, too).
- Coolness. Director David Twohy hasn’t given up on another Riddick movie. I hope he can pull it off.
- The interesting impact of the writer strike on the production (and completion) of Battlestar. Man, it would royally suck if the show got prematurely cut short, so very close to the planned finish line. I’m sure Ron Moore will fight tooth and nail to get it to that finish line. BTW, don’t forget that Razor airs on Saturday. I’ve already seen it in a theater last week, and it’s great. Some cool moments for classic Battlestar geeks like myself for added fun.
- Some specs and the cool cover art are detailed for the HD-DVD release of David Fincher’s Zodiac. Given his previous special edition DVD sets for his other movies, I’m sure this release will be spectacular. Can’t wait.
- Speaking of DVD releases, A&E has revealed some neato specs on their upcoming season 1 & 2 set for the Weird Science TV series. I was a fan of the show (still have many of them on tape from their original USA Network airings). Very cool that they got Vanessa Angel, Michael Manasseri and John Mallory Asher to all contribute in audio commentaries.
- So, Hasselhoff might appear on the new Knight Rider remake.
- Looks like I’ve figured what my next portable media player will be: the Cowon A3. I currently own the Cowon X5, which is an overall nice player (my battery is near dead, and I need to get around to replacing it). I’m not in a big hurry to upgrade, but that A3 sure does look awesome.
