…do I ever talk about anything except this, cats, and my kid? And stuff breaking? Probably not. But there’s a heap of news hitting us just before the new season starts. … Read more
The announcement has hit the UK tabloids: supposedly Nintendo has signed on the dotted line with the BBC’s merchandising wing to make Doctor Who video games for the Wii and DS. I’ll blither on endlessly about why this has been a long time coming – and why it’s always been bad news before now – after the jump. … Read more
A pretty-much-complete portion of the Doctor Who video mashup project I’m working on can be seen here. Fun stuff!
What’s even more awesome than that is this… too bad I can’t afford one, but man, that’s awesome. Just a wee bit more detail than the last one of these that we had…… Read more
If you’re not a Doctor Who fan, you may as well skip this entry – it’ll only make you crazy. Or it might make you a fan. Which may or may not be the same thing. … Read more
Now that I’m back in the teevee trenches, I get the dubious honor of watching stuff that I would never touch off-the-clock. Well, not so much watching as… what’s the official word? Monitoring. That’s it. But all the same, how can you not watch a train wreck unfold when it’s on the scale of a little thing we call Conveyor Belt Of Love? … Read more
Okay, I’m excited. How ’bout you? The only thing that really isn’t thrilling me about this movie is the prospect that Daft Punk will be filling in for Wendy Carlos. Maybe if they were collaborating with Wendy Carlos, I’d be a bit more at ease. Whoever did the music for the Tron 2.0 PC game seemed to ‘get it’. (I know that there’s not another person on the planet who obsesses over movie music in quite the same way I do, so I’ll just hush up there and wait for the movie.)… Read more
Some Doctor Who humor for you (using this technique that I haven’t messed with in a long time).
It’s funny because it’s true – or at least true to the formula of this year’s special episodes. 😛 My poor old Marvin the Martian is having some issues, hence his poor aim…… Read more
On the official Red Dwarf website, there’s an interview with the head of the satellite channel, Dave, that bankrolled the recent mini-revival of the show in the UK – a little love-it-or-hate-it experiment we call Back To Earth. The following exchange happens at the end, and I think it’s safe to say that something’s being telegraphed to the eagerly awaiting fan base here:
“As to whether or not there’ll be any more Red Dwarf to come, who knows? It’s obviously something we’ll have a look at and we’ll talk to the guys about and we’ll wait and see. But I think any fans out there should keep their eyes peeled to Dave for the future.”
Is it true to say say Dave want a new series and meetings have taken place?
Steve grins.
Is it also true to say a new series has actually been commissioned but for various complex budget reasons you aren’t able to officially announce it yet?
Steve laughs, “I couldn’t possibly comment.”
I just thought that was interesting. 😉… Read more
