Goldmember won’t be in Austin Powers 3

by on Jan.29, 2002, under Movies

…at least in the title. Variety is reporting that the MPAA has ruled that Austin Powers in Goldmember is “inadmissible” after MGM/UA complained that it is an unauthorized parody of the James Bond franchise. Apparently The Spy Who Shagged Me was fine…

Tunnel vs. Tunnel?

by on Jan.26, 2002, under Television

There’s a storm brewing in the eddies of spacetime. Seems that not only has Fox is developing a new Time Tunnel series based on the original by Irwin Allen, but ABC, where the original aired, is also developing a series based on the 1964 book by William Jenkins, and both seem ready to go to court. At issue is whether the original series was truely based on the book, which would mean 20th Century Fox’s rights (they produced the original series) would have expired.

Man-Kzin Wars IX out in hardcover

by on Jan.26, 2002, under Books

I can’t believe this fell under my radar. Just as I thought I was getting close to completing the Encyclopedia of Known Space, Known Space just got larger. Man-Kzin Wars IX has been released in hardcover, with 4 new stories from Poul Anderson (his last published story), Hal Colebatch, Paul Chafe, and Larry Niven himself. I though all I had left was VIII, and then some mop-up of missing stories. If anyone has a copy of MKW IV they are willing to sell (reasonably!), let me know. Head on over to the Bookstore of Known Space to see other titles.

Quantum Leap rumor mill heating up again

by on Jan.24, 2002, under Television

Perhaps there is life after the final leap after all. The Sy Fy Portal web site is reporting that Universal is showing an interest in a two-hour telefilm. Apparently Scott Bacuka’s return to the spotlight as Captain Archer in Enterprise has something to do with it, and his Golden Globe nomination I’m sure didn’t hurt…
