What Is Lost About?

Damon Lin­de­lof, co-cre­a­tor and exec­u­tive pro­duc­er on what Lost is all about: “This show is about peo­ple who are metaphor­i­cal­ly lost in their lives, who get on an air­plane and crash on an island and become phys­i­cal­ly lost on the plan­et Earth, and once they are able to metaphor­i­cal­ly find them­selves in their lives again,… Con­tin­ue read­ing What Is Lost About?

Stop Motion Action Film on YouTube

Most of YouTube is crap (then again, 90% of every­thing is crap). How­ev­er, it is gems like this live-action, stop-motion film “Tony vs. Paul” that make it the future of video and enter­tain­ment. I think some Hol­ly­wood effects stu­dios could learn some tricks from these guys. Some of it’s sil­ly, but it’s an enter­tain­ing five… Con­tin­ue read­ing Stop Motion Action Film on YouTube

Robots Are Forever

Rob­bie the Robot has a con­sid­er­able film career that spans fifty years. He has been star­ring in film since just after being born (in 1955) all the way up until appear­ing in Pamela Ander­son­’s tele­vi­sion show last year and an AT&T com­mer­cial this year. Many humans would kill for that kind of suc­cess, although I… Con­tin­ue read­ing Robots Are Forever

Battlestar Great-showica

The main cast of Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca on the set of the Galac­ti­ca’s hang­er. I just fin­ished watch­ing the Sea­son Three pre­miere of Sci­Fi Chan­nel’s Bat­tlestar Galac­ti­ca. I just want to go on the offi­cial record to say that BG is the great­est show ever on tele­vi­sion. That’s right, bet­ter than The West Wing. Bet­ter than… Con­tin­ue read­ing Bat­tlestar Great-showica

“Who Killed The Electric Car?”

“Who Killed The Elec­tric Car?” asks, and hopes to answer, just that. The film is a doc­u­men­tary about the fate of the GM EV‑1 project and sim­i­lar ev projects by oth­er auto man­u­fac­tur­ers, writ­ten and direct­ed by Chris Paine. (Image cour­tesy of Wikipedia. This is con­sid­ered to be a fair use of pro­mo­tion­al mate­r­i­al.) I’ve… Con­tin­ue read­ing “Who Killed The Elec­tric Car?”

Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”

Sat­ur­day night, I konked Angela over the head with a bil­ly club and drug her down to the West­hamp­ton Twin to see the doc­u­men­tary star­ing for­mer politi­cian Al Gore, Jr., An Incon­ve­nient Truth. Okay, so I real­ly did­n’t knock her out, either with a club or with drugs, but it did take some con­vinc­ing on… Con­tin­ue read­ing Al Gore’s “An Incon­ve­nient Truth”

The IT Crowd

I watched the first three episodes of Chan­nel 4’s The IT Crowd last night. IT’s a show done by the writer behind Father Ted, also a very fun­ny show. IT does­n’t dis­ap­point, either. IT is online at Chan­nel 4’s site, but only avail­able to UK res­i­dents. I’d love to see this for­mal­ly brought over to… Con­tin­ue read­ing The IT Crowd

Find-Your-Fate Returns on DVD

As a kid, I loved B‑level sci­ence fic­tion and fan­ta­sy books. Of course, of those, none were bet­ter than choose-your-fate books (note: I had most­ly the D&D brand­ed books, myself). Well, they’re back in a DVD for­mat in Scourge of Worlds — A Dun­geons & Drag­ons Adven­ture (actu­al­ly released in 2003). I’ll have to give… Con­tin­ue read­ing Find-Your-Fate Returns on DVD

GI Joe Live Action Film

I was think­ing about how cool a live action film of GI Joe could be in this ter­ror­ism obsessed age we live in, and low and behold, one may just be in the works after all with a great back sto­ry. Why not? A live action Trans­form­ers film is being produced.
