A love for Marshall?
I was already nervous enough about the Land of the Lost movie being a Will Ferrell comedy. Now comes news that his love interest has been cast.
Love interest? I'm not saying that the movie is Ruined or that it has to be about a single dad and his two kids in order to be good. Just saying that they're making me nervous. As long as they have dinosaurs and Sleestaks and monkey-people though, and as long as the comedy's not all slapstick, we should all be okay.
Tarzan's Greatest Adventure indeed.
The Double O Section blog has a great write-up about one of my favorite Sean Connery movies, Tarzan's Greatest Adventure. I haven't seen it since catching it on late night TV about 15 years ago, but I remember how cool it was watching James Bond try to kill Tarzan. I totally agree with the Double O guys that it's a shame this hasn't been released to DVD yet.
Win A Life of Ravens
Alex Ness, my co-writer on Jesse James vs. Machine Gun Kelly, has written a book of epic poetry filled with Vikings and ravens and other cool stuff. He's also got some amazing artists like Mike Grell and my Kill All Monsters! cohort Jason Copland to illustrate it. And he's giving away two copies (one for the winner; one for a library of the winner's choosing) in a contest here (scroll to the bottom for the very simple rules). It's a gorgeous book and you've got nothing to lose, so show the guy some love.
It's Official...
Pirates -- as a fad -- are dead.
Doctor Who Season 4
The SciFi Channel will start showing Doctor Who Season Four in April. Also coming around the same time: The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Black Canary/Zatanna
Pop Culture Addict has an interview with Paul Dini in which Dini spills some details about his upcoming Black Canary/Zatanna hardcover graphic novel: "In discussing Zatanna’s history with Alex Ross, he maintains that Zee, especially in the early days of the JLA, was kind of a 'kid sister' to some of the other members. I liked that, so I established that Zatanna’s a couple of years younger than Black Canary and that Dinah’s a bit of a mentor to her."
It's a fun conversation and includes Dini's wife Misty Lee.
The Somnambulist
I'm hearing a lot about Jonathan Barnes' The Somnambulist lately. First it showed up in this list from Borders in the company of some of my other favorite books (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Neverwhere) and ones already on my reading list (The Prestige, Chinatown Death Cloud Peril, and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell). So... interesting by association. Rod Lott's recommendation pushed me over the edge with words like "milk-guzzling golem," "human fly," "serial killer," "albino," and "guy who claims to live time backwards."
