Fannish Items of Interest

Io9 lists “30 geeky shirts that make perfect holiday gifts.” And when it comes to x_journal, Meggan would wear that Miracle Max shirt proudly. You just know she would.

More Torchwood casting news: Bill Pullman is joining the series. People seem to be excited about that one, but I just think it’s strange. He was great in Independence Day and Casper, but I’m still not going to be watching season 4.

Four more short clips have been released for Doctor Who’s Christmas special.

Io9 remembers Beauty and the Beast. No, not the Disney movie. The series with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. I never watched it, but Mom did. I never knew if it was worth it or not.

The 10 Greatest Paranormal Teen Comedies of the 1980’s. I will admit to liking Zapped at one point. Of course, I was 7 at the time, so that would explain that. I will always love Back to the Future. I will never watch The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, especially after seeing the review of it by The Nostalgia Critic.

Yahoo is shutting down Delicious. I only recently glanced at it for the first time—aside from that, I have never used it. For those that did use it, bookshop has alternate suggestions here.

Jean Rollin has passed away at the age of 72, following a long illness. May he rest in peace.

ETA: And some more breaking news: Syfy canceled SGU. They announced it via Twitter. From what I understand, that's how the cast and crew found out the show was over.

Bill Pullman? Weird.

Re SGU: oog. I'd heard the news through Twitter too, and thought "good riddance", but that the cast and crew also only heard this through Twitter? Classy. :/

That was the exact same response I had. They couldn't have phoned them first?

I LOVE the Hamilton/Perlman Beauty and the Beast series. Funny, Mom and I were talking about the other day and the one ep we focused on was one with Adrian Paul guest starring.

If you ever want to revisit the show, I just found out that it's on Hulu. I'll probably give it a shot at some point after I've finished getting through Forever Knight.

Hulu doesn't work in my country. But I got the eps! :D
