It’s A Spidey Kinda Weekend
I really wish someone would’ve told me about this earlier — the short-lived, but really nifty, “Spider-Man Unlimited” animated series came back to TV this morning on FOX. And the movie starts filming on Monday, even though it’s not currently slated to hit theaters until May 2002, according to this report from the big Y.

Hollywood At It Again: Copy Protection For TV
Below, I’ve posted a big email received via the still-going-strong

SF (Mostly) Stiffed In 2001 Golden Globes
Nothing new here, friends… The Golden Globes don’t have technical categories like the Oscars do, so we have to go on the strength of actors and plot — something which SF, stereotypically, isn’t known for.
“Gladiator” racked up lots of nominations, but it’s not exactly genre in the strictest sense.
