Geek Parents Name Child After Dark Knight Rises’ Bane. Their other children are named after Star Trek (Lore and Dacx) and Highlander (Kurgan—sadly, not a Methos to be seen) characters.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Adds Daniel Cudmore, Fan Bingbing, and Booboo Stewart. Cudmore reprises his role as Colossus, BingBing will be Blink—no word as to who Stewart is playing just yet, though.

Next Year In Yuletide. Some people (like me) are already planning what they’ll nominate next year. I’m making a note to nominate the Fred Saberhagen Dracula novels.

In relation to this year’s Yuletide, I’ve just finished signing up—fandoms I’ve offered are: Fright Night (1985), Back to the Future, Pushing Daisies, Ghostbusters, Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), Addams Family (1991)—with the fandoms tossed into the bucket section being Last Unicorn (1982), Van Helsing (2004), Mannequin (1987), Soapdish (1991), A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman, Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1996, Anno Dracula Series - Kim Newman.

I threw out Cabin in the Woods, since I wasn’t sure how well I’d be able to write for that one. If it turns out that I enjoy the pilot for Mockingbird Lane, then I’ll edit that in if I’m able.

We’re expected to have severe weather, with a chance of tornadoes from around 7-9 PM tonight. So just as Doctor Who premieres. If I can’t find a download anywhere, (now that Demonoid and several other options are gone) then I’ll just have to wait for Comcast On Demand to have something and avoid spoilers. With the last season premiere, we had tornadoes strike just as the Silence appeared. It’s tradition!

I’m still accepting votes for the Rahne and Illyana PB polls—the poll closes early tomorrow morning. If you haven’t voted already, please go here. And on that note, hollow_art made some Karen Gillan icons, at my request—you can see them here. If people could edit polls, I would have put that link in there.

Batman Beyond will be getting a miniseries at some point in 2010.

Oh, and Mom wants to know when the next season of Amazing Race is supposed to start. Does anyone know?

Name five TV shows you'd like to see on DVD that aren't already.

This was tougher than I thought it would be. Everything that immediately came to mind is out on DVD. And I couldn't think of a 5th one for a long time. I thought of Thundercats, but I think that is on DVD.

1. Batman Beyond. (I really want to see this series.)
2. Justice League Unlimited
3. Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett version.)
4. Real Ghostbusters
5. The Secret World Of Alex Mack
6. The Tomorrow People

And, even if it isn't a series, I would love to see Mr. Boogedy and Bride of Boogedy on DVD someday. It probably won't happen, though.

ETA: I thought of another one! The Tomorrow People--the version that was on Nickelodeon in the early 90's. So, there's now 6 on my list.
