Last Night they gave out the 35th annual Saturn Awards.  No big surprises other than my usual gripe about things getting nominated or even worse winning that aren’t in the genre, like Angelina Jolie winning Best Actress for Changeling.   It makes me wonder if they simply gave her the award with hopes of getting her to attend the awards or to generate some press for the event.  Yes she may have done a number of genre films, but this wasn’t one. 

 I was curious as to how films get nominated and this is what it says on their site.  The nominations are done by committee.  The committee is divided evenly between fans, academics and industry professionals.  It also says that they use the broadest definition possible to determine nominations for the categories.   I guess their definition of broad means that we can make anything fit as long as it serves our puposes. 

The Saturn Award is an award presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films to honor the top works in science fiction, fantasy, and horror in film, television, and home video. The Saturn Awards were devised by Dr. Donald A. Reed, who felt that films within those genres were never given the appreciation they deserved.

The Last Airbender Teaser Trailer

So you will probably begin to get sick of me now since we are less than a month from the release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”, but I’m hoping it will be worth it.

There’s been lots of HP-related news lately, and it would take way too long to post everything, but what I will post is an extended clip of the “Tom Riddle Orphanage” scene, which previously debuted at the MTV Movie Awards a few weeks ago.

Extended Orphanage scene from \"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince\"

Also, the Official HBP website is now live, and it looks amazing!! Check it out at www.harrypotter.com

C’mon Potter fans, tell me what you think!!

(On a side note, for Potter fans planning to attend DragonCon, Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) has been confirmed to attend!!

First Look at ABC’s Revamped “V”

ABC has released a preview trailer of the revamped series “V.” Most of us have a special affinity for the miniseries. The television show follow up wasn’t great. I liked Star Wars and watched repeats of Star Trek TOS as a kid, but this was the one series I can say solidified my interest in Science Fiction. I have the miniseries and the TV series on DVD and watch them both at least once a year. So I do hope that this revamp is good and the series does proper respect to the original.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally my Ronniekins gets some love!!!!!
In other fandom news: (Comments are also spoilerish…)

LAFAYETTE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was so desperately hoping that they found a way to keep him on the show, considering that his character died in the books. This is one bit of "deviation from the plan" that I am all in favor for!!! And according to Mr. Tip-Yo-Waitress himself, we may have him for Season 3 as well!  See this article for more on what’s to come for Lafayette.

I don’t think anybody thought the rumor was true but it was out there for a while.

Sometimes you have to try something different despite all of your instincts telling you not to do it.   This was my initial impression of Batman and Robin # 1.   We know Bruce Wayne will return from the dead eventually, so why should I get excited about a a short term change.   Why should I  trust Morrison with Batman after the incomprehensible Batman R.I.P.    This was my initial impression of Batman and Robin # 1,  guess what I was wrong.   He nailed it, he made me want more,    I want to see more of the the new flying Batmobile,  I want to see more of the relationship between Damian and Dick,  in just one issue the dynamic of there relationship has been established for the rest of the series.    We got to see Damian’s brashness and cockiness clash  with Dick’s quite confidence.   I’m not really a fan of Quitleys artwork but I  love his story telling.   The biggest compliment I can give the book is that I want more,   Bruce can cool his heels for a while wherever Morrison stuck him at the end of Final Crisis (don’t get me started), lets enjoy the new dynamic  duo.

This weeks picks:

Action Comics #878	Batman #687	Cable #14 2nd Ptg
Fantastic Four #567	Red Robin #1	Titans #14
Uncanny X-Men #511	War of Kings: Savage World of Skaar
