I'm curious what people think of eBooks in general. I personally have no desire to buy a Kindle or an iPad (though with the iPad you can watch movies in widescreen), because nothing beats reading an actual book -- you know, with pages made of paper, with real ink. I don't know, maybe I'm getting old...

My wife may be pregnant... I don't know if I am happy, excited, scared, or disappointed, probably all of the above. Funny, how a week ago I started writing a new screenplay that basically tackles those same issues (as well as a million others -- well not a million, that'd be a long movie!). Crazy ho...

Book 6 of Sword of Truth, "Faith of the Fallen". About 450 pages into it now, took some time for the story to get going (as they all do), but as it's essentially the middle of the series, it felt like Goodkind was taking a deep breath (in a narrative form) before gearing up for the 2nd hal...

There's quite a mix of reactions in here. Surprising. I thought there'd be more Lost fans here. Huh. I'm a huge LOST fan. I didn't watch it during the first season, but at the time I was still living at home and my dad SWORE by it, he loved it, it was his favorite show. So when his birthday came aro...

Started and finished "The Great Gatsby" on Thursday. Back to "The Sword of Truth" novels... lol. On book 5, "Soul of the Fire" now.

So I finally read both comics and I have two thoughts. The Ender comic feels rushed, too condensed, jumbled and doesn't make a whole lot of sennse, even to an Ender expert. What's weird though, is that I think the Ender's Shadow comic is great. It's fantastic. I think that it might be because while ...

Seen it twice. locke is right, it's amazing, a game changer. It's on pace to be the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time (domestically and internationally).

Can you guys imagine the battleroom in 3D? Wow...

Been a good year for sci fi, D9 and then this. Good stuff.

I pledge to finish my movie, "Smith Hill"! 50 minutes of the rough cut done, still have a couple sequences left to film, then finish the rough cut, work on a final cut, do all my sound work and color correction, in time to submit for Sundance next year.

I started reading the Terry Goodkind, "Sword of Truth" novels... I picked up the first one (I'd read it years ago) and started again and have been flying through them. I'm half way through the fourth book in the series, "The Temple of Winds" and loving them... I've heard it goes ...

The last episode ("Epitaph Two") airs January 22, 2010, not next week. My bad. but I find it fortunate that they are allowing Whedon to finish the series out and that they killed it early enough that Whedon could go back and change the finale to be more finalizing for the series. I couldn...

Thanks for the pseudo-welcome back Mich and Luet. :) i like the way they worked it, but i'm not a huge fan of the artwork. not marvel's finest artistry. Have you seen the artwork for Ender's Shadow? I haven't read them yet, but I have flipped through them. It definitly seems less anime-esque and mor...

Craig

I wish I had read your post before yesterday, Luet... I bought both hardbound editions yesterday (Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow)... As far as the comics themselves, I like them. The story seems too rushed, but what's on the page is definitly true to the book, which I like. I can't wait to get the ...

Craig

I bought it yesterday and flipped through it. I liked the section about the trouble bringing the Ender's Game Movie to screen. It is a little irritating how the author always takes the side of OSC, but then again, it doesn't surprise me, and some of the changes sound ridiculous.

Steph, I doubt you missed it, more likely I just didn't say anything on here. I haven't been posting much lately, even though I lurk every couple days. But ya, I married my longtime girlfriend this last august 16th. :) things have been great so far! And your pregnant huh? Congrats! How far along are...

I totally forgot about it... I read the review at AICN and was really excited about it, then it slipped my mind. If I don't get it for the holidays, then I'll have to go out and get it myself. I can't wait to read your essay Steve! I remember seeing your old animatics and renderings and being blown ...

In that statement regarding Dollhouse's cancellation, Joss mentioned that by the time the last show airs we'll know what his next project is. The final episodes are next week (?) and there hasn't been any mention of it since. I'm curious... Dollhouse has been such an aggravating show to watch. Some ...

It's funny, I didn't do the project and still pulled a B+ in the class. I'm happy.

locke, I agree with nearly everything you said. I read Cameron's scriptment a couple years ago when it was said that Avatar was going to be his next project (then going by the alias Project 880, I believe). So I knew where the story was headed and I found myself throughout the second act anticipatin...

I need an email partner for my German 201 class and am having a hard time finding someone. Anyone here speak German?

It doesn't work that way. It's Marvel's choice to pursue the film rights. For all we know, OSC took it to them and pitched them the idea and they passed.

Watchmen -- What's there to say that hasn't already been said? It's visually amazing, the soundtrack is brilliant, the performances are top notch, and it's deeply in love with the source material. I really liked it, I didn't love it, but I really liked it. 8/10 The Wrestler -- Darren Aronofksy is a...

I can understand too, who knows how many emails he'd get from crazed fans about "cool" storylines that we can come up with. Like any artist, he doesn't want help unless he needs it.

I thought of a crazy theory, that Ender's future wife [what's-her-name] is a descendant of Bean? That could be possible. I actually had a theory similar to this a LONG time ago, just after Shadow Puppets came out. I even emailed OSC about it, I think I still have the response from Kathryn... Someth...

I read it. It's not really any surprise, but I think it's the worst Ender book. I didn't even FEEL like an Ender book. There's a stronger continuity between characters in Ender's game and Speaker for the Dead than there is with EG and this. There were a couple nice scenes, but overall the entire thi...

Craig

I agree. I was thinking Marvel too. But it does seem like they have a lot on their plate right now... Hard to say. If it's Marvel, then it might actually be done right! Here's another bit of news I've been able to scrounge up. At the Scream awards, Deborah Del Prate announced that she is working wit...

I remember Borders had Shadow of the Giant on sale a week before it came out and I meant to check there last week to see if they had EiE on sale, but never made it. But I'm really excited about a new Ender book and can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm glad the response has been better than the Shad...

What a night, what a night. I'm so excited. I wrote four years ago about how America was going into the toilet. Well, it took four years, but I was right.

An interesting debate... McCain did better than he has in the prior two debates but in the end still didn't do a whole lot. I honestly do not understand his campaign. First they attack Obama for lack of experience, then go out and get Palin. Then they attack Obama for policies. Then the economy take...

I don't dwell on the little things. Sure the characters looked too old and specific details don't match the book, but in the end I think they still did a stand up job. The story is the same but now we have pictures! I'm curious to see what they do with Battle School and Command School, because the i...

I bought it, read it, and really enjoyed it. Something that I think really resonates here is that this is the original Ender's Game story presented in a visual medium. This is proof to every person that says Ender's Game can't be adapted to the screen. Here it is. Movies and comics have a lot in com...

So the first issue was supposed to come out and I'm on my way to go find it. I'll let you guys know how it is.
