Star Wars fans lining up…at wrong theater?
by Doc on Apr.06, 2005, under Movies
Reports are circulating the major news outlets that eager Star Wars fans have already begun lining up outside the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater – but the studio says the movie will not premiere there, but at the ArcLight down the street. However, the ArcLight deal is not finalized, and fans have pointed out Fox has said the the same thing before.
Future features: bittorrent tracker?
by Doc on Apr.05, 2005, under General News
As I come up with ideas to improve the site, (and yes, I will get back to work at the software at some point), one idea seems pretty cool, but I’m not sure of how useful it would be. I’m in love with BitTorrent – the protocol, not the fact that I can download pretty much anything, legal or not. This may be more interesting to content providers for trailers, etc., but is there interest in a BitTorrent tracker for legitimate, legal downloads of SF media?
Sci-fi excerpt: Cradle’s Children

DarkSyde writes “(The following is an except from a never ending sci-fi book/novel/project/hobby of mine. I’ve had a lot of trouble with this section. It’s clumsy and crude and just doesn’t flow like I want it to. I think I can work that out, and the basic idea is half decent and imaginative, or so I have deluded myself into believing. But I need any constructive criticism for the abio/biochem which I can tell is hopelessly infantile, as well as anything else that sticks out. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. It’s also copy write protected, but I give permission to reproduce this in part or in whole if proper attribution is given and a link to UTI at http://www.brentrasmussen.com/archives/2005/04/wee kend_science_3.html is provided)” Read More for the full excerpt.
Keanu Reeves Saves the Universe!
by Doc on Apr.02, 2005, under General News
Rob Reese writes “Amnesia Wars presents: Keanu Reeves Saves the Universe is a twisted, bawdy, silly, romp through your favorite science fiction tales where time isn’t the only thing that’s warped! This raucous, irreverent satire illegally marries Star Trek, Star Wars, and The Matrix to Laugh-In, South Park, and The Marx Brothers. Following a COMPLETELY SOLD OUT run in 2004 at the Peoples Improv Theater, K.R.S.T.U. will re-open for a limited run in spring of 2005.” Read More for the full announcement. I don’t think it’s an April Fool’s joke, and I’m too tired to come up with my own…read Slashdot for that.
