cracking full length movie, well worth checking out.

Weekly DVD Picks – Tuesday, October 11, 2005
This week looks to have the poorest offerings between
now and Christmas. This week’s dilemma was choosing
something I’d call a pick of the week, as nothing
really stood out. Starting next week and running
until January, I’ll need to put serious thought into
which contenders will not be the final pick
of the week. Some highlights of the next few months
are listed below.

“The Shining” reinterpreted in a trailer
For a different look at The
Shining, head on over to the PS260 blog
and take a look at the September 29, 2005 entry. I
hold this up as a shining example of why trailers are
a worse indicator of the nature and quality of a movie
than looking at the cast and crew list. Also
available are new versions of
West Side Story and Titanic, both of
which now appear to be genre films.
Threshold Discussion – “Shock”
Once again, the official
site is posting next week’s episode description.

Cyan Worlds: “We’re not dead yet!”
From Sci-Fi Wire: Reports of the demise of Myst developer Cyan Worlds have been greatly exaggerated, according to the San Jose Mercury News and the GameSpot Web site. Cyan Founder Rand Miller confirmed separately to both sources that the company is rehiring most of its workforce and will continue to develop new games.
In early September, Richard A. Watson, Cyan’s official historian of the D’ni culture featured in the Myst games, told SCI FI Wire that Cyan was shutting its doors and laying off its staff indefinitely, but said the closure might be temporary.
According to Miller, the company’s doors have now reopened. “We’ve had a reprieve,” Miller told the Mercury News.
“[We’ve] managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat (that I can’t give details about yet), so we rehired almost everybody. Crazy industry. It’s giving me whiplash!” Miller gave a similar confirmation to GameSpot, but provided few details to either source.
Cyan previously stated that its recent release, Myst V: End of Ages, which came out Sept. 22, is the final installment in its signature franchise.
