M. Knight Shyamalan made another movie. I suspect his work will end up like Philip K. Dick’s work does for me; most of the early twist endings catch me off guard, but after a while, I get to know the creator well enough to predict the twists. Fortunately, so far, the ride to the twist is still entertaining enough to keep me involved. What do you folk think?
Rising Stars finally finishing
JMS announced that he’d turned in his last three scripts to Rising Stars some time ago. Now, Top Cow has officially announced the publication dates of those last three issues. You can find the details, including the location of an eight page preview, in this Newsarama article.
Weekly Comics Discussion
This
week’s shipping list includes a few little gems
worth looking at, including Avengers 500,
which marks the first issue of Brian Michael Bendis’
much promoted “Avengers Disassemble” story,
Astonishing X-Men #3, Fantastic Four
#500, and Ultimate Fantastic Four #9.

“Catwoman” Discussion
The DC Super Hero DVD sets contain coupons for cheap admission, but those are only valid in the USA, so I won’t be seeing this for a while. (It only got half a star in the local paper’s review, so it sounds like it’s bad enough to be very entertaining in unintended ways.) This will serve as a discussion forum until the hypothetical day one of us does a proper review.
Jerry Goldsmith dead
Obiwan provided this
