As you may be able to tell, my formal training is not as a writer. My degrees are in physics and education. In my day job, I work in supplemental education, which is why my productivity is lowest when report card season hits.

“Catwoman” Discussion

The DC Super Hero DVD sets contain coupons for cheap admission, but those are only valid in the USA, so I won’t be seeing this for a while. (It only got half a star in the local paper’s review, so it sounds like it’s bad enough to be very entertaining in unintended ways.) This will serve as a discussion forum until the hypothetical day one of us does a proper review.

First chance to see something from Serenity

TwistyHat writes, It’s almost a tradition. At Comiccon a few years back, Joss Whedon showed a stunned audience the first clip from “Serenity” – the pilot for his new show Firefly. This weekend he is back to show the first clip from “Serenity” – the motion picture based on the Firefly series. Also at Comic-Con will be the cast from the series/movie (all 9 actors) – editor Lisa Lassek, special effects guru Loni Peristere and producer Chris Buchanan.
It will take place on Sunday July 25th, 1-2pm, Room 20, afterwards there will be a signing session in room 28DE.
This was reported on what used to be the official Fox board, by the user “AffableChap” which has previously been confirmed to be Chris Buchanan.

“Stargate: Atlantis” in Canada

Those of us in Canada don’t get the Sci-Fi channel.
(At least, not the same version the USA gets.)
Stargate: Atlantis premiers tonight on Movie
Central. (It’s at 7pm in the Mountain time zone, but
I think that’ll be the same in all of Movie Central’s
range.) If anyone else in Canada knows of another
channel running the show, speak up here.
