Dungeon Siege, Volume 1 and 2?
Word is out from Uwe Boll himself that the Dungeon Siege movie, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, will be released in two parts, the first on November 3, the second on December 1. Each part will be about 105 minutes in length. More info from Sci-Fi Wire.
OK, I’ll just say it: 105 minutes?! Why not trim some stuff and get it into one 3 hour flick. You know, Lord of the Rings sized. Sounds like the studio wants to double-dip at the box office. I won’t be surpised in the least when this blows up in their face. Especially when the DVD will have both parts bundled together and theater ticket prices are truly frightening.
Night Stalker Discussion – “Malum”
Kolchak investigates an abusive father.
More Buffy, Direct to DVD?
According to Marti Noxon, there is a
possibility that we might see a return to the
Buffyverse in the form of direct to DVD releases in
movies surrounding the secondary characters. I’d be
interested in them, but it sounds pretty early in the
discussions, so this may or may not happen.
Invasion Discussion: “The Hunt”
Russell meets a Cuban refugee who has lost his family to “the lights,” and decides to try to catch one of the mysterious, luminescent beings.
(Lost is in reruns for a few weeks.)

Stargate SG-1 Breaks Longevity Record
Sci-Fi Channel has ordered another season of both SG-1 and Atlantis. This makes Stargate SG-1 the longest-running Science Fiction series in American television with 10 seasons. The previous record-holder was The X-Files (nine seasons) and before that Star Trek: The Next Generation (seven seasons).
Hats off to the SG-1 cast and crew for this milestone! Time for a “Stargate” section on B42?
Supernatural Discussion – “Hook Man”
Yes, even the urban legend is real in their world.
Surface Discussion – “106”
The official site lists the next episode for November
7, so I’m guessing there’s something else going on for
Halloween.
