Fascinating incite into the modern popular film-making process. Highly recommended for cinema enthusiasts: http://www.theonion.com/video/today-now-interviews-the-5yearold-screenwriter-of,20188/

This can be our thread to discuss all non-sci films of the past year, now that awards season is upon us. It might clash with other threads but we're talking about non-sci-fi, mainstream and indy stuff. I'll be jotting down my thoughts on some of the buzzed-about flicks of the year. SPOILER...

AMC, which has replaced HBO as the place to find groundbreaking original programming (Mad Men, Breaking Bad), is premiering a series about zombies this weekend. There is nothing about that I don't like.

My favorite working comic in the world is Louis C.K. He's just amazing. I've seen live a bunch of times, heard him on the radio, seen him on T.V, and he constantly kills. The most impressive thing about him is that he's the only comic ever to do brutally funny material about having children...

Having neglected my nerdly pop culture duty on two major fronts: Buffy and Harry Potter- that is, I've never watched any of it (nor read the Potter books), and having lost all interest in movies, and running out of TV shows to watch (Treme and Breaking Bad ending their seasons soon, Lost...

Sunady April 11th premieres the new drama Treme on HBO by The Wire creator David Simon. It's about a New Orleans neighborhood right after Katrina. I got my HBO subscription back this morning just for this. Pilot episode will be 80 minutes, and there will be 10 episodes this season. Has the...

Hey look at me, starting a thread in this forum... Yesterday I was having this conversation about the show Lost and I was comparing the Jacob / vs his enemy conflict as looking like Vorlons vs Shadow and was ranting about how Lost = Babylon 5 (but not as good, natch) and then had to point out...

So Robert Jordan died, and they gave some other writer his notes and he's writing three books to finally end the series. The first one came out and it's getting decent reviews. From what I read about it, it closes some painfully lingering subplots, is not written in Jordan's descriptive style...

Anyone interested in my B5 collection? This is what I got: - The complete series on DVD. American region 1 release of the box sets. 6 box sets: seasons 1-5 and the movie collection (The Gathering, In the Beginning, Thirdspace, River of Souls, A Call To Arms). Does not include Crusade...

Just curious if anyone watches this, 'cause it's awesome.

Well I never thought I'd say this but there are actually good sitcoms on TV these days. My DVR has 5 series recordings for half-hr comedy shows. This is pretty surprising considering how much I've always hated the format. Remember "must-see TV," when NBC would have Seinfeld, and 3 other...

Just curious to get your opinions on this. I watched the first 4 eps last night based on a recommendation- made by some of the same crew as Lost and it certainly feels like it- gimmicky premise, even has the Penny actress. I haven't really bitten on this- maybe I only have room in my heart for...

I happened to come across this movie and decided to watch it without knowing anything about it going in... and it's a great movie. Don't ya love it when that happens? So it turns out this is a pretty recent flick. It's about a spaceship that has to fly to the sun (it's called the Icarus- GET...

So I'm trolling the free DVD rentals at the local library (yes I use the public library- free stuff! try it!) and I come across Alias. I have never seen an entire episode and only vaguely know that it stars that chick that everyone thinks is super-hot but I don't so much and she was in some...

"This is a huge oversimplification, but you can think of it as The Matrix times a million," http://www.theonion.com/content/news/sci_fi_writer_attributes?utm_source=a-section

While re-watching The Gathering, I vaguely remembered something being discussed at one point about how Laurel Takashima was somehow involved in the plot to assassinate Kosh and that she would've been Control had the character stayed. Accoring The Lurker's Guide: I tried to catch this while...

I saw this commercial on NBC for this new show called Kings. Now I don't care for network TV in general (only Lost and Friday Night Lights for me- it was during the latter I saw this commercial), but this commercial promised: - Political intrigue - Grandiose mythology. Apparently there's a...

My ultimate man-crush and hero, William Shatner, has a half-hour interview show on the Biography channel called "Raw Nerve." Watched the first episode with Valerie Bertenelli (star of sitcom One Day At A Time and endless TV movies and ex-wife of Eddie Van Halen, current Jenny Craig spokesperson...

So HBO's big new show this fall will be something called True Blood. Its stars Anna Paquin (calm down, KF) and is about vampires, apparently. Being HBO I'll give it a shot though the premise looks retarded. Anyone else?
