Once again, Clark’s vehicle insurance rates spike
before the opening credits roll. No wonder the Kents
are having such financial problems.

Joss Whedon reveals future projects involving Buffy, Spike and Serenity
Joss Whedon has revealed
some of his upcoming projects, including more comics
(Buffy and Serenity), more movies
(Spike), and updates on previously announced
movies (Wonder Woman.) There’s not a lot of
information available right now, but fans will want to
check it out anyway.
Terminator-based TV drama
Warner Brothers and Fox TV have begun working on
The Sarah Connors Chronicles, which is said
to be a drama set between the second and third films
in the franchise.
Shatner pitches Star Trek prequel
An Anonymous Coward sent us this
URL with an article about William Shatner’s
proposal for a new Trek TV series. It seems like it
has more to do with books he’s writing than a TV
series at this point, but he’s put the offer out
there.
Weekly Comics Discussion – Wednesday, November 9, 2005
This week’s shipping
list has only one item I’ll be taking home, namely
Pulse #12. (Incidentally, Brian Michael
Bendis has announced that issue #14 will be his last
on the title. No word on who will replace him, or
even if the series will continue.) Other noteworthy
items include 100 Bullets #66, the first
issue of a Danger Girl miniseries, DMZ
#1, Infinite Crisis #2, JMS’ Book of
Lost Souls #2, Captiain Universe
Daredevil, Decimation: House of M: The Day
After, Drax the Destroyer #3 (a series
which is getting great reviews but less than
spectacular sales), Exiles #72, the
Fantastic Four Wedding Special, Friendly
Neighbourhood Spider-Man #2 (continuing “The
Other”), and New Excalibur #1.
Supernatural Discussion – “Bugs”
Kim Manners, the most prolific director of The
X-Files, directs tonight’s episode. Right now,
this is the only new genre show I’m aware of on
Tuesday nights, but Threshold will be moving
to Tuesdays with its next new episode on November 22.
Surface Discussion – “107”
The seventh episode of the series aired last night.
How was it?
Thomas Hayden Church as Flint Marko
The Sony
Official Site for Spider-Man 3 has a
picture up of Thomas Hayden Church as “Flint Marko.”
If you don’t recognize that character’s name, click
the link. If you’ve seen the character in the comics,
you’ll know exactly who it is.
Narnia Sneak Peek
chad
writes, The latest issue of Newsweek contains an
article
on the upcoming movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The
Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. I loved the Narnia
books as a kid, reading the entire series about five
times, and I was pleasantly surprised when the trailer
aired before “Revenge of the Sith”. The best indicator
of how Narnia is going to do, however, was in the
reaction of the people around me at the Star Wars
movie. I saw the trailer twice, and each time I heard
someone say “Wow…” after it ended. I think I
only read two of these books when I was a kid, but I
know many people who absolutely love them.
