I miss the blog.

It's been five months. I miss the blog. LJ just seems less authoritative somehow...

The Angriest blog may die, but the Executive Bunnies shall live.

This is the new project: still in development, but online and running into action.

Now the dark is rising.

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 has a blog.

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."

A post of probably little interest to anyone bar me and four year-olds.

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.

Greg the Bunny

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

Disney take over the world.

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.
