    Superman: Earth One

    Thanks Jan! I've had it with buying comics I later regret reading, much less buying. Now I'm careful. I liked Changeling a lot, but I do seem to remember there being some early word that it was going to be a supernatural kind of movie, do I have that right? Ninja Assassin was an enjoyable...

    The races of Babylon 5 based on fictional sci-fi books

    JMS said at some point that the Narns are like the Israelis. They're so traumatized by their past that they have adopted a form of ultra-nationalism, which sometimes blinds them to the consequences of their actions. And their will to resist the Centauri at every turn eventually leads them...

    If you could create your own B5 spinoff...

    Republibot, I agree, B5 was indeed a watershed. Few fictional works have gotten in my head and kept rattling around with such energy for years afterward. So complex, so thoughtful, so innovative and imaginative. And for that, I too am thankful. But it's also like crack, and I want more...

    Superman: Earth One

    Has anyone read the new Superman: Earth One graphic novel by JMS? Does anyone have anything to say about it? I want opinions before I buy it. I'm a Straczynski fan, not much of a Superman fan. And has he dropped his other projects to focus on Superman and Wonder Woman? Haven't heard about...

    Forbidden Planet?

    You're welcome. I forget where I read that, but it seems a lot of fans think it was built by the Vorlons. I can't remember what Varn said, I'll have to check. The other Great Machine, the Eye on Z'ha'dum, wasn't explored so much beyond what's in the Technomage Trilogy. But I'm curious if...

    Forbidden Planet?

    Yeah, JMS had some remarks on it at the last convention he did: http://www.filmbuffonline.com/FBOLNe...-on-film-work/ Gonna be a while. Maybe they'll get Ridley Scott? He seems to do about nine movies a year. Every now and then we get a 'Hannibal' or something of equal dullness. Usually...

    If you could create your own B5 spinoff...

    I wasn't terribly interested in the Telepath War concept for a long time, either. Then I read the first Psi Corps novel, liked it a lot, and started seeing the possibilities. Psi Corps has interesting connections with both the Vorlons and Shadows. They also have a permanent problem. As long...

    If you could create your own B5 spinoff...

    Yeah, pretty dead on here lately. Updates from JMS, when there are any, seem to indicate that the Hollywood writing life means lots and lots of loose ends, and a few things that get made for the screen. How many of those projects have disappeared completely? I bet there are some real gems...

    Just watched B5: In the Beginning (Spoilers)

    That was pretty cool how they had two versions of that event. Of course, they've done that a few times. I think they've always done it well, too. And the actor who played Dukhat was really good. I do wonder what more there is to know about the Soul Hunters? As in, how much is written in...

    Unproduced scripts?

    And I have to agree, the Garibaldi story for Lost Tales didn't grab me either. At all. I'm now glad it wasn't filmed, even though Garibaldi's my favorite character. Raw Shark "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Einstein

    Unproduced scripts?

    'Demon on the Run' was supposed to have been the title. I had never heard the story about why it didn't happen, so I'm glad you asked! 'Demon With a Glass Hand' is a cool episode, filmed in the same building (Bradbury Building) in LA that the finale of Blade Runner was shot in. I ran across...

    EpDis: And Now For A Word

    That's a really good episode for sure. It has action, intrigue, drama, tragedy, it's loaded with negative elements and yet manages to finish on a positive note. It has several instances of subtle irony for those who already know the story. And because it is, or seems to be intended as an...

    JMS announcements at Comic Con?

    During my google search, an item came up: 'Crusade May Finally See It's End,' from 2001. Man, what a tease. Damn you google! Raw Shark "We were promised, when I was growing up, this war with Russia. We were promised World War III." John Milius

    JMS announcements at Comic Con?

    Does anyone have any info on the announcements JMS said he would make at Comic Con? I've been looking around, but the sites I've checked so far only have some comments on the Wonder Woman costume, and a bit about World War Z. Are there websites I should be checking instead? Or maybe his...

    It was fun while it lasted

    I know this isn't a democracy, but I vote you put it back up when you have a chance, because it's a cool site. Thanks for making it! Raw Shark "Cohagen, you've got what you want! Give the people air!!!" Quaid, Total Recall

    JMS to write for SupermanWonder Woman

    "JMS to adapt Crusade to comics" or "Telepath War Descending upon us all!" Or "J. Gregory Keyes to write Psi Corps comics." Raw Shark "Alright gang, we've gotta get Lil Condi off the junk, or my homework's never gettin' done!" Lil Bush

    What is JMS doing?

    Nice! Any idea what 'Flickering Light' is, other than a feature film? I've lost track of what's what, as far as JMS projects go. I'm sure I'm not alone. But I'm really curious about his sci fi trilogy he mentioned a while back... Raw Shark "Communism killed 100 million people and all I got...

    What order to see it all in?
