Fannish Items of Interest

Apparently, something managed to blow the covering of a vent off the roof—or partially off, as it was hanging on just barely. Dad just finished fixing it. There was still a screen over it, so no birds got into the attic. Whatever it actually was that caused it, nobody heard it, and Dad didn’t see it until he was coming back from getting the newspaper.

Doctor Who returns to BBC America with all five of the specials. The Next Doctor airs June 27th. Planet of the Dead will air at some point in July. BBC America is getting first run rights, rather than the Sci-Fi Channel, apparently.

Latest remake that proves Hollywood could be out of ideas? (Although, they proved that with the Flight of the Navigator remake, and a few others) They’re going to remake Alien. I never watched it, so it doesn’t bother me—but it might bother some out there that liked the movies.

For those that want to join an active reading group type thing on LJ, and don’t already know—there’s mythical_truth and bibliophyles. The former is voting for this month’s selection over here, and the latter over here.

At whedonesque: A discussion of who would work as Buffy if the movie was made by someone other than Kazui. You can also read the reaction (including the horror of early 90’s fashions, and the surprise of seeing Ben Affleck and Hilary Swank in bit parts before they were stars) of someone who saw the 1992 movie for the first time recently through a link in this post.
