Impressive film for $300 budget!

Ataque de Pánico! (Panic Attack!) 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dadPWhEhVk Fede Alvarez tells a little about how he made the short film: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=154&t=822329&highlight=big+robots They look like Mechforce Marauders to me… but perhaps I played a little too much of Ralph Reed’s excellent Amiga game in the early 1990s…

Shorter Commute due to Three Edged Sword

Three Edged Sword, a fan fiction audio drama based on Babylon 5, has been making my daily commute seem much shorter. If you like Babylon 5 and enjoy a decent audio drama, it is available free as a podcast from Voices of Babylon.

The audio drama is called “Three Edged Sword” in honor of […]

Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009

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 […]

Squeee! Jewel Staite sighting on Wonderfalls

One of the holiday gifts I got was the DVD boxed set of Wonderfalls TV shows. It’s entertaining dialogue by Tim Minear and others. I am into the third disk when Jewel Staite makes her appearance as “Heidi” at the very end of the first episode on the disk. In other news, I saw Alan […]

Closed Captions can be fun!

So 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? […]
