Paradox

Dec. 2nd, 2008 09:07 am
Watch out. Serious geekiness here in the beginning, so... Just beware.

Whatever it is I did to invoke Paradox, I apologize. Honestly and truly, I apologize. I am a walking internet jinx right now. It is amazing that I am able to post this right now. Last night our internet connection died a horrible death. I power cycle the modem and the wireless router. Still no joy. I decide to play some Catan instead of being on-line. No big worry, right? So, Kris gets home and things still aren't working. We power cycle again. Nothing works.

So, you can tell we're desperate at this point, because we call Comcast. We discover that we can connect straight from the modem just fine. So, we reset everything and switch out routers to my wireless router. Same thing. Except now I can get on AIM and I can get to websites not based in the US. I can get to the BBC, I can get to amazon.co.uk. So... Weird. We unplug everything and shut it down for the night. (And btw, Heroes? Eclipses last AT MOST for just over 7 minutes.)

I get to work in the morning... and my connection at my desk doesn't work. I'm only connected through the grace of wireless.

WHAT DID I DO?

Seriously. I'm sorry.
In September, it was announced that Warner Bros. Pictures was planning to rerelease The Dark Knight in theaters in January. Superhero-Hype has news that is no longer the case. Which is annoying because I was REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to watching that in IMAX again. Man.

Co-writer Marc Guggenheim says he and his fellow writers are making minor tweaks to the script, but nothing super major. He also says the designs for the Lanterns' base planet of Oa are like nothing you've ever seen on film before. Man, if I could wish a movie into not sucking, this would be the one. There are rumors about a Clark Kent cameo. Who would you cast as Hal Jordan? I'm not the biggest Hal fan, so I know my take is biased.

SCI FI Channel told SCI FI Wire that it's going to premiere the first of 10 new Battlestar Galactica webisodes on SCIFI.COM on Dec. 12. There is some juicy stuff about Gaeta in these from what I'm gathering.

I'm gathering I should be reading Madame Xanadu. Anyone out there reading this comic? It looks interesting.

There a LOTS of new Wolverine photos out there. Here are a few of them: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=50946 The trailer comes before The Day the Earth Stood Still next Friday.

SCI FI Channel has officially greenlit "Caprica," the much-anticipated prequel to hit series "Battlestar Galactica," reports Variety. So far I haven't been too impressed with what I've seen but it could just be early stuff. The mini-series was just okay too.

CBS has announced its midseason schedule - http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=50953 Yeah! More Amazing Race! Woooo!
