litheraUS actor George Takei is to wed his long-term partner after California lifted its ban on same-sex marriage. Yay! That makes me feel all squishy.
The reviews on the Indy movie are so so. There are some fanboys who went crazy for it and some who were very critical of it - I think both, some what, are suffering from Star Wars backlash syndrome. There are a handful of reviewers (most of the ones I tend to trust, nicely enough) who seem to think it is good fun and on par with Temple of Doom or Last Crusade, depending on which one you dislike more.
Napster has launched the world's largest online music store without digital rights management. Which, I can tell you, will have a lot of people aiming for them. Competition is good.
Oregon, a state that's likely to be in play in the general election, is expected to go for Obama. Kentucky, a state that's not likely to be in play in the general election, is expected to go for Clinton. After the polls close tonight, Obama is expected to have passed the milestone of having secured a majority of pledged delegates. It is an important day. C'mon Oregon! I love you, you crazy state, you.
There is a movie coming about the whole Waco thing. Wheeee?
The fact that JG Jones is drawing EVERYTHING on Final Crisis and they've announced that there may be a fill in artist has sparked the on going debate - Would you rather have your book all done by one artist and late or done by more than one and on time?
And believe it or not the plot of Supermax, the Green Arrow goes to prison movie, has sort of been talked about and... I have to admit... I'm interested. First in its favor - IT IS NOT AN ORIGIN STORY. You only get like 15 minutes of Ollie as Green Arrow before he ends up in jail anyway. There are a handful of B and C list villains in here and it sounds like a good time, actually. Lemme know if you want the link. It is a bit spoiler-y.
There might be a few more Galactica movies in the same way as Razor. NBC is reluctant to let Galactica just walk away after the season finale. Who can blame them, really? Still, you have to wonder about these. Are we looking for any sort of quality or are we just trying to milk it dry? Ooof.
