Re: \"Prequels Actually Better Reviewed Than Origin It's possible that the tastes of the average critic has changed over the last 30 years, in such a way that critics nowadays are more forgiving of "popcorn crunching" movies. Just a thought--I don't know if this is true or not, as I wasn't old...

Re: Richard Kelly musical w/ Buffy and Silent Bob? Oh yeah, and while it looks like we'll have to wait another year for this movie to hit the cineplexes, if you want ot see something else written by Kelly (but in this case directed by Tony Scott), DOMINO, which stars Keira Knightley and is...

Re: Richard Kelly musical w/ Buffy and Silent Bob? OK, now it's been a year of delays, and they've finally lined up a distributor (Universal), and are set to begin principal photography on August 1st for a release sometime in 2006. And Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has joined the cast. See...

Re: Battlestar Galactica S1 Finale Part 2 (SPOILER It doesn't matter. The laws of drama demand it. You have to get Boomer back to the fleet so they can deal with the Cylon/human hybrid issue. And Helo can't stay behind unless they want to fire the actor, as there would no longer be a reason...

Re: Battlestar Galactica S1 Finale Part 2 (SPOILER Six says that Baltar will become father and protector of a new generation of God's children. I think the clear implication is that Baltar is not getting excited about the birth of a single baby, but the birth of an entire race of human/Cylon...

Re: Battlestar Galactica S1 Finale Part 2 (SPOILER I was refering to Adama's decision to stage a military coup and have Roslin arrested. That completely shocked me when I first saw it. If I would have known about that a week before I saw the ep, it would have seriously diminished the impact...

Except that we have no evidence suggesting that the events on BSG are meant to be running concurrently with 21st century Earth. In fact, we really don't even know if the fictional world of the show is meant to be at all consistent with our own reality. It might just be an alternative history...

Re: Sci-Fi Friday (SG-1, Atl., BG) 03/18/05 (spoil I don't know. They often make odd choices wrt what goes in the preview. I could be wrong. But while I can't think of an example of SFC doing this, I definitely *have* seen previews for shows on other networks that give me more information...

Re: Sci-Fi Friday (SG-1, Atl., BG) 03/18/05 (spoil Since this seems to be the thread for discussion of the BSG airings in the US, I'll repost something I posted at Trek BBS which those of you watching for the first time may want to read: I've already seen the final two episodes of BSG Season...

Re: A Call to Arms: Fighting for the original cas That's what I figured as well. It's also consistent with the Tom Sizemore rumor. He's the sort of actor I was thinking about wrt the recasting. Not really a "big star", but a movie actor.

Re: Last night\'s BSG (1.08) SPOILERS Don't worry. The last two episodes of the season (particularly the last one) blow away everything you've seen so far.

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? So Joe, does that mean that you now think that the Hollywood North Report plot info (which is what I assume you're refering to by "A story about Shadowtech with "guest star" roles in the foreground and maybe a bit of overlap with Crusade") was accurate? IIRC, as of a...

Re: Last night\'s BSG (1.08) SPOILERS The Colonials' assumption that the "humanoid Cylons" are robotic does seem to be based on pretty thin evidence. As soon as they examined their first one and failed to find any circuits, they should have started doubting that assumption.

Re: Newsonly: JMS letter-writing for Trek. Recants This IGN story appears to have been written after Mira's convention appearance, but before JMS's posting to the newsgroup: http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/591/591154p1.html Tom Sizemore??? What the frak are they talking about?

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? JMS has commented on this in the moderated group: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm putting this here because the new message threader I sent eaerlier is taking a while to move through the system. So this info...

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? OK, I'm definitely convinced now that Mira said this. We seem to have confirmation from multiple sources on that. However, Mira is our lone source on the underlying story--that the project is "dead", at least for the time being. I just want to make sure Mira isn't...

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? Further confirmation that Mira said the movie is dead is now up at Dark Horizons: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050225b.php

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? OmahaStar over on TrekBBS says that he was also at this con, and confirms that Mira said this (also said that Moyra has it on videotape). Here's the quote from OmahaStar regarding what Mira said:

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? I posted this news on trekbbs, and the poster "WombatControl", who has contacts in the industry and has posted accurate scoops on BSG in the past, said: "This confirms what I've also heard separately. Essentially, what I've heard is that JMS and WB couldn't agree on many...

Re: IT\'S DEAD, JIM? Oops. But if Mira was never going to be in it anyway (not saying I believe that myself, but following through on Moyra's reasoning), then how would she know that it was "dead"?
