Hughes Brothers parting ways, one to tackle AKIRA?

Excerpt:

The Hollywood rumor mill is making seriously nerd-jaw-dropping claims and fanning the flames of a hot and heavy comment flame war: According to Deadline.com, Allen Hughes will take the lead on Akira, while his brother Albert will concentrate on an upcoming pilot for HBO titled Gentlemen of Leisure, which a spin-off of their documentary American [...]

The reboot of the Predator series — aka “Predators” — has a release date and some teaser footage… Adrien Brody actually looks pretty tough here. He’s got good back-up too: Larry Fishburne. 2-Minute Sneak Peek at Predators | /Film

A fairly recent misunderstanding that even people living in Darwin’s time would not have been confused by. The questions [...]

Year 2010 becoming reality

Excerpt:

The year 2010 (not to be confused with the movie 2010 (1984)) is slowly, but surely becoming a reality. Everyday I hear of something scheduled to happen in 2010, and it adds a tiny bit of mass to the foggy concept in my mind of just what 2010 might be.

Rereading William Gibson

Excerpt:

Tried to get Mary interested in Neuromancer, but it wasn’t her cup of tea. I delved back into Count Zero because I’d reread Neuromancer not too long ago, and hadn’t finished out the trilogy that second time. Never read them in the right order in the first place anyway. Count Zero surprised me. Made me [...]
