Fannish Items of Interest

Celebrate the late composer John Barry with 9 great sci-fi film scores.

Via robot6: The death of Wizard and Toyfare, from the inside. Still nothing on if anyone will get any refunds.

Sci Fi Wire lists eleven women who could work as Lois Lane. Ellen Page doesn’t really fit. Amy Acker is close. Carey Mulligan, unfortunately, isn’t quite right either. Not listed, but could possibly work: Anna Friel or Charisma Carpenter.

Tor remembers my one favorite episode of Quantum Leap—the one with Stephen King as a boy, and Al as Satan.

The worst of the thunderstorms seems to have gone to Arkansas and Louisiana. We ended up with a small amount of rain--tomorrow, it will be 5 degrees with high winds and a chance of snow headed our way as I head out for a doctor's appointment. Good luck to everyone getting the worst of the storms and snow.
