Adventures of Brisco County Jr., The – Brisco date, art and tons of extras! This was a fun show. Great sense of humor, great mixture of sci-fi and westerns, and my introduction to Bruce Campbell (as the title character). At just under $100, I’ll probably pass on purchasing it, but I’ll rent it. Gotta get my wife up to speed on yet another show I was hooked on. Torchwood Lights Up May – Slice of SciFi In a recent interview with SciFi Wire, writer-producer Russell T.Davies (Doctor Who) stated that filming for the 13-episodes of Torchwood, the Doctor Who spinoff, will begin in May on location in England. “Torchwood” is, appropriately, an anagram of Doctor Who, which I think is pretty clever. The show will apparently be aimed squarely at adults, in contrast to Doctor Who’s family-friendly story lines.

The top three . . . → Read More: Stress: Executives and managers feeling the pressure For loyal readers (all 1 of you, including me), let me apologize for the dearth of posts lately. My second daughter was born recently and I was therefore otherwise engaged. I’m still trying to get caught up with stuff, including the readings that typically fuel these posts. I scanned a lot of stuff today that really looks interesting. When I go back and really read it, hopefully it will spur more thoughts and this blog . . . → Read More: Back from break U.S.S. Mariner » Bugs Bunny, greatest banned player ever This just blew me away. First of all, if you’ve never seen the referenced cartoon, you’re missing one of the greatest of all time. Go rent the DVD. The author spends a long article in a dead-pan analysis of the entire cartoon as if it were a real baseball game played in 1946, rationalizing the toon’s gags and attempting to apply real physics. The level . . . → Read More: First base: Bugs Bunny; Second Base: Bugs Bunny… |
