Fannish Items of Interest

A new kind of cloud formation over the Central US. I love the comments over at Io9—one person said it looked like the Fright Night poster, while another referenced Ghostbusters. Actually, one day the clouds around here went like they did when Gozer arrived. It’s never a good thing when that happens.

Four new clips have just been released for the next episode of Doctor Who.

Days of Futurama Past. Basically, Futurama characters redrawn as X-Men. I know nothing about Futurama, except that there’s a character named Bender, and a woman with one eye. However, on the X-Men front, if you look in the back right corner, you can spot the New Mutants. I recognized Illyana Rasputin, and Warlock. Meggan from Excalibur is toward the middle right.

Sign-ups for the Finish-A-Thon end tomorrow, and I’m trying to think of any ideas. I know I’ll add a possible sequel to No Proton Packs Beyond These Doors to the poll, as well as a possible sequel to A Beautiful, Pie-Filled Disaster. I need prompts for something else I could add to the poll, however, so now’s the time to throw out something weird or funny in either the Doctor Who or Ghostbusters fandoms, or a crossover between the two. Or ideas for what you might want to see in either sequel, depending on what’s picked. So here’s a poll for any suggestions. An explanation of what the Finish-A-Thon is can be found here.

That Futurama picture is the greatest thing I've seen all week. I can't tell who Leela's mom is supposed to be, though. (The betentacled cyclops next to Nightcrawler.)

Oooooooh. That would actually make a lot of sense, since the character is a sewer mutant herself.

There's an eye patch as well (she's holding it up so she can see), so I'm guessing Cal.

Haha, I didn't even notice that.

The sight of Mom as Emma Frost will haunt my nightmares forever.
