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.)

This week’s shipping
list includes New Avengers #12 and
X-Men: The End Book 2, both of which I plan
to pick up. Other items include the latest edition of

from DC, as well as Arana Heart of the Spider
#10, Daredevil #78, Marvel
Visionaries: John Romita Jr. in hardcover format,
Sentry #2, Ultimate Secret #4, and
the well reviewed but not high selling Young
Avengers #8 from Marvel.
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.
The Box Office is “Doom”-ed
Sorry, I can’t help myself. Dollar figures are in the millions (USD) and only represent this weekend’s totals.
- Doom ($15.3)

- Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit ($8.7)
- The Fog ($7.3)
- North Country ($6.5)
- Elizabethtown ($5.7)
- Flightplan ($4.7)
- In Her Shoes ($3.5)
- A History of Violence ($2.7)
- Two for the Money ($2.4)
And for those still interested, Serenity slips to #17. And Corpse Bride slides off the Top Ten to #14. More data and figures from Box Office Mojo.
“Doom” Discussion
It topped the charts this weekend (more on that in a bit). Who saw it? Worth the astronomical ticket price?
JMS’ Babylon 5 Scripts going up for sale
As revealed in this
rec.arts.comics.marvel.universe post, JMS’ scripts
to Babylon 5 are going to be up for sale
shortly. Let’s hope this leads to a similar release
for Crusade, so that we can see what network
meddling kept from us.
