Year of the SciFi
Yeah, I know, EVERY year is the 'year of the scifi' - for some of us anyway. I was noticing a few things that are significant about this year: A new season of Doctor Who, A new Star Wars movie, and H2G2 adapted for the screen. Wow, it's like totally 1983!
At the time (of the aformentionned thought) I couldn't get blogger to load, but I guess that makes sense, as there was no blogger in 1983.
Did you all catch Doctor Who on Tuesday? I only saw bits because I got home late, and was trying to get dinner made. That's ok though, as I did watch it 2 weeks ago - thanks to that wonderous new invention: 'virus marketing'. I really liked it, it brought me right back to the spirit of the old episodes, I'm looking forward to more.
Caught that Discovery channel thing a few weeks back on the DaVinci Code. He never mentionned a turnip! not even once! The bit about the Templars owning "vast tracks of land" was super funny (for a small group of people). The show was really good, it's soooo nice to see seudo-intellectuals put in their place - on camera - and all they can do in smile weakly, and squirm.

Blogger? Not work? *gasp*
I did enjoy Dr. Who. Did you hear that it wasn't actually Viral Marketing behind the leaked first episode? Turns out it was someone at the BBC who got in a LOT of trouble when they tracked him down.
And it's a shame that Chris Eccleson is stepping down from the role of the Doctor. I like him a lot, if only for this exchange: "Why do you sound like you're from the North?" "A lot of planets have a North."

Have you guys seen Sin City yet? I'm planning on going next Tuesday (or sometime during the week) if you want to get together!
I'll see it alone if I have to though. I did that this week with Constantine.
