Month: July 2006

From the Sci-Fi Wire:

[Brian] Henson worked closely with writer Richard Christian Matheson to create a story that could be told without dialogue, a bold step for any made-for-television project.

Um…am I the only one who remembers “Hush“?

I mean, I like Brian Henson, and I’m interested in watching Nightmares and Dreamscapes, but it’s not like the talk-free hour of television hasn’t been done before. (Heck, it even earned Buffy its first Emmy nomination.)

“[T]he only thing better than living in a world that allows the production of a movie called Snakes on a Plane is a world that allows for a novelization of said movie.” – Mike Sterling

“[N]obody thinks long and hard about music and what it means to them and then ultimately decides to listen to Toby Keith.” – Ryan Irvine

“Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.” – Joss Whedon

You know, I really enjoyed the new Doctor Who — more, even, than I expected to — but a one-hundred-dollar list price seems pretty ridiculous to me.

Update: Okay, now having seen the number of bonus features included on the DVD set, the price tag doesn’t seem quite so steep. I’m still glad I bought my copy online at a discount, but I certainly can’t accuse the BBC of skimping on the extras.
