Fannish Items of Interest

There’s going to be another Ninja Turtles movie, with a tentative release date of 2011. Proof you’re now old? It’s their 25th anniversary.

NBC cut back on the number of episodes for season 4 of Heroes. This means that it goes from 25 episodes, down to 18-20.

In Doctor Who related news, I’ve been hearing that a certain villain from the older series has been cast. However, as these spoilers seem have tabloids as their sources, I won’t believe them until it actually happens. If anyone wants to read a potential spoiler (which is probably not true) you can go to this Io9 article.

Found via whedonesque: An interview with Felicia Day.

For those that use Geocities for hosting fanfic or anything else, it turns out they will be shutting down all accounts (both free and paid) at the end of 2009. Found out via various links on my friends list. I’ve never used Geocities, but I know some people might have.

By the way, does anyone on my friends list know how to download a movie from Youtube, and then piece it back together so they can watch it later without having to keep stopping to look for the next part? If anyone needs to know the movie, it’s Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, and part 1 is here. Just curious, since I’ve never found it anywhere else. Or, if that's not possible, if anyone knows where I can find a torrent or download of it.

Looks like USA is showing Serenity today, for anyone out there that’s interested. It started at 1:30 PM CST.

Not sure how to piece it back together, but I know you can use YouTube Downloader (http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/) to rip videos from the site, and convert ones you already own. I love it - it's great for ganking trailers and such...

Never tried that before. Can it also piece the sections (since I think it's something like 6 or 7 parts) back together?

I don't think so, but then again I've never tried it before.

I was a huge TMNT fan when I was little. I was about four when the original cartoon started airing on TV over here, so I was the perfect age and got swept up in Turtlemania with the rest of the 80s children. The fact that TMNT is 25 already makes me feel somewhat ancient. It really doesn't feel like 25 years at all...but people always say that. :p

I know I eventually got hooked, and went to the theater to see the third movie. The cartoon started in 1987, so I would have been 6 when I started watching.

I think I heard it's 25 years if you started with the comic, which I never read. So it's 22 years if you start counting with the cartoon series.

Lurker passing by:

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if I'm watching something on Youtube in three or four parts, I usually embed them in order in a private post to my lj and then watch it straight through.
