Appreciating the Gift of Storytelling

The science fiction world lost two storytellers this summer, Ray Bradbury and Harry Harrison.

I never met Harry, but I felt like I got to know Ray a little bit, just from how much director Roger Lay, Jr had talked about him and about working with him while they were making the film Chrysalis several years ago.

Robin of Sherwood Revisited

RobinSherwood

Every now and then, comments pop up on my old review of Robin of Sherwood, for the original (and at the time only) NTSC Region 1 DVD set of that classic and magical series, from people asking where they can find the DVDs.

Early on, they couldn't, unless you found one of the box sets I'd managed to purchase. But as always, things change, new releases come about, and surprise surprise, by the time I republished that review here, new DVD sets had begun to arrive on the shelves.

Clowns Will Eat Me

There are many who fear the clowns...

A Summer Moving Sale

I asked the folks in the Wingin' It chat room about this, and there seemed to be some interest in it, so I'll ask here as well.

I'm going to be moving at the end of July. Don't worry, I'm staying in the area... but it's past time for me to clear out some stuff.

VERONICA MARS IS ON THE COVER OF MAXIM MAGAZINE!!

Musings: Painkiller Jane

I just got around to watching the SciFi Original Movie Painkiller Jane. I've wanted to see it for over a year... ever since seeing a short promo for it during a longer SciFi Channel promo narrated by Sean Bean when it aired during the first airing of the miniseries for the new Battlestar Galactica.

The premise was interesting, but I was not entirely thrilled by the presentation.

Gift Geekery

Ya know, I could easily find myself sucked into a game of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

So much fun for such a simple game.

Old School Knows No Bounds

My old school tendencies go way beyond scifi and fantasy when it comes to entertainment. I am a sucker for a good Western movie... I've loved them ever since I can remember.

So when I see a book like this on the shelves, I feel compelled to buy it.
