![]() This is the new project: still in development, but online and running into action. |
| I've been posting on this blog since 27 July 2002. That's over four years ago. I've posted to this thing over 1000 times since then. I've had over 40000 hits - which I think pretty much conclusively proves that 40 people read this thing. In a few days I'm going to wrap it up and shut it down. I won't be deleting it or anything, but I won't be updating it any more. I'm working on something new, that'll hopefully be read by more than 40 people at a time. Stay tuned. |
| Paul Cornell, excellent New Adventures author and still-pretty-good Doctor Who TV writer (okay, I know many people loved "Father's Day", including Huge nominators, just... not me) has a blog. He's on his way to Worldcon, too: "I get to talk onstage about Galactica. Last time I did it was just a delighted fannish love rant. A fan of the old version of the show got up and left with a cry of disgust, slamming the door on his way out. It was like a sighting of a rare beast, say, the Yeti, there and gone in a moment. I hope he finds someone else who prefers the old version, out there somewhere. Then they can breed." |
| Sesame Street is adding a new Muppet character for Season 37, the fairy Abby Cadabby. Photo here - nice design, in keeping with the rest of the cast while looking distinct. It's nice to have another female Muppet, they're few and far between. |
| Coming in October: the second season of Greg the Bunny on DVD. I haven't seen any of this - the episodes are much shorter, and it's more of a parody sketch thing that a sitcom, apparently. I don't even know if they managed to keep Seth Green on board. powered by performancing firefox |
| The animation world anyway. It looks like they're about to make a move on Robert Zemeckis' Imagemovers, who produced The Polar Express and Monster House. Coupled with the re-opening of their cel animation production house, this gives Disney the ability to release traditional, CGI and motion captured animation around the year. This makes a lot of sense. As this article notes, Pixar only release one feature every 18 months or so. A second major CGI production house would help fill in the gaps in the schedule, allowing Disney at least two major animated features every year. |
