We’re so used to thinking about other planets… around other stars… in other galaxies… that it’s difficult to believe the existence of extrasolar planets (”exoplanets”) was unconfirmed until 1992. The first published “discovery” was actually made four years earlier by astronomers Bruce Campbell, G.A. Walker, and S. Yang of a planet orbiting the...

OK. After reading this great post on Blackfive , my self-imposed boycott of the show Burn Notice is at an end. Some of you may recall a post a few months back where I expressed a great deal of disappointment over something that lead actor Jeffery Donovan did off the set. It was enough to make me give up watching what had been one of the very few modern shows that I ever watched. But that's all in the...
Rumours abound that JJ Abrams - if he is to helm the revamped Enterprise's second outing - will cast Lost hunk Nestor Carbonell in the role made famous by Ricardo Montalban. Is that playing too safe? Directors have their favourites. Follow David Lynch on his latest journey to Planet Weird and you'll probably find Laura Dern landed some time before you; pick up a Sam Raimi flick and don't be surprised...
FROM SPLASH PAGE: A while back, the third "Batman" movie seemed to be the subject of new casting rumors every day — from Michael Caine's assertion that Johnny Depp would play The Riddler to a British tabloid's "scoop" that Shia LaBeouf would play Robin. Nowadays, though, "Spider-Man 4" has been receiving the lion's share [...]
Yesterday I presented you with a list of Five Actresses Who Should Play The Black Cat in Spider-Man 4, and no where on there did I mention Anne Hathaway. That said, it seems as if Marvel and Sony Pictures aren't listening to me.
The newly released Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies game for the iPhone/iPod Touch brings hours of great gameplay even if you’re not a zombie fan like myself. The iPhone version features the original zombie map “Nacht der Untoten” (Night of the Undead) from World at War. It was designed by Treyarch, powered on [...]
Forgot to post this yesterday! A while back I bought a film called Elvira: Mistress of the Dark on DVD. I'm still a little unsure quite why I bought it. I think part of the reason was that I'd seen the film years and years ago, but I'd kinda convinced myself that it didn't actually exist. When it randomly popped up on Amazon I therefore bought it. As reasons go that's pretty damn weird for the sake...
As if I needed one… Bruce Campbell and Jeffery Donovan from the USA Network TV show “Burn Notice” recently visited the troops over here in Iraq. Damn shame they didn’t make to where I’m at though.

Workin' my way through the 'reader' this morning and came across a post by BLACKFIVE that caught my eye. The title was "ONE MORE BURN NOTICE PHOTO WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULD KNOW" and being a fan of Burn Notice just had to check it out. WOW, was I ever surprised to see a picture of Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell holding a flag in the background, while Lt. Col. Mark Bieger is presumably swearing...
