I have been listening to old The Babylon Podcast episodes on my commute to work, slowly catching up and through them I discovered a really good fan-fiction audiodrama set in the Babylon5 universe during the succession of Earth colonies and Babylon5 from Earth Alliance. The audio drama is called “Three Edged Sword” in honor of [...]
Tickets appear to be sold out, but if you already have tickets, and want to carpool (parking at Arlington Cinema ‘N Drafthouse is very tight). The event begins Saturday, June 27th at 1pm; but the doors open at noon, and I suspect the local Browncoats will make it fun. Thanks and hat tip to Castalusoria [...]
I scored two tickets to Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009 at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse June 27th! Tickets: http://www.arlingtondrafthouse.com/?page=event&eid=876 Firefly and Serenity fans should have fun, as should fans of Dr Horrible. Joss Whedon rocks!
Tagged Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse, Can't Stop the Serenity, fireflyIf you are a Firefly / Serenity fan you will love the most recent several XKCD comics, they are all Firefly/Serenity themed… In other news, if you like Felicia Day from Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, you might also like her web video series called The Guild where she stars in and created a video series [...]
Tagged firefly, serenity, xkcdDoh! Apparently, every Intel based Mac since early 2006 has had a new feature that Apple has completely failed to market.

I think we may need a new receiver…. We mostly watch a DISH Network Dish DVR 508 that has S-Video, Composite video, RCA Stereo, and TOSLINK (optical for [...]
Tagged audio, home theatre, videoSo our good friend Bob helped us figure out how to turn on closed captioning on our TV, and we’ve been able to follow the dialogue on modern shows and movies much better. What the heck happened to training actors to project their voices and keeping the effects down so you can hear the dialogue? [...]
I’ve just started watching Generation Kill on HBO (time delayed on my PVR). Right off it feels pretty much right; I was never a Marine, but I’ve worked with Marines, Army, and Navy when I was in the Air Force and people really talk and act this way. I am not very far into it, [...]
Original, beautiful, riveting. You want to see this work of art on the big screen. Many thanks to shalmestere for tipping us off to the existence of the film. We made a night of it with Curry n Kabob (Indian) food, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, and then two hours of sitting in air-conditioned theatre [...]
I am kind of intrigued by the upcoming: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead which should appeal to Sutragirl as a vampire story and appeals to me because I loved the original “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” and the whole play within a play within a play thing (which reminds me of Being John Malkovich today).
