GOOD NEWS: When Battlestar Galactica returns for its third season it will have a full 20 episodes.
BAD NEWS: We will have to wait until October 2006 for the new season to begin.
GOOD NEWS: Doctor Who has been chosen as the U.K.’s number one television program for 2005.
BAD NEWS: Oh, there is none now that America gets it too!
GOOD NEWS: Canadian Futurama Comic Writer Ian Boothby has been nominated for the Shuster Comics Award honoring Canadian contributions to the pictorial world of fiction since 2005.
BAD NEWS: No definitive answer yet if a new Futurama is coming back on the screen as either a revamped show, DVD release or a movie.
GOOD NEWS: The next James Bond flick, “Casino Royale” will be in theaters on November 17th of this year.
BAD NEWS: Daniel Craig. He is already unhappy in the part as the dapper British spy. And not at all pleased with the way the press has been treating him….poor baby. For the sake of the franchise let’s hope it doesn’t spill over into his performance. If it does then we may have some good news – Brosnan could get the call, but will he answer?
GOOD NEWS: “The Hills Have Eyes” Wes Craven remake has done quite well at the box office this past week.
BAD NEWS: Get ready for a whole string of low budget copycats that will never be as good.
GOOD NEWS: A brand new STAR TREK major motion picture has been slated for a 2008 release starring Parick Stewart as a retiring Captain Jean Luc Picard. Now that the final X-Men movie has wrapped he is available and ready to dive into it one more time. Leonardo DiCaprio has signed on to be his replacement and the youngest Captain to ever sit in the center seat of a Federation Starship, stealing the record long held by one James T. Kirk. Tom Hanks will play the heavy and will introduce an entirely new dangerous alien race that will jeopradize the safety of the fragile Federation, Klingon and Romulan/Reman Empires’ alliance.
BAD NEWS: I’m just kidding. Bad Sam, bad Sam!
LOL thats pretty good. I am glad to see BSG back for a full 20 eps.
Wow, it’s too bad to see SoSF jump on the Daniel Craig bashing bandwagon. He’s a great actor that I think will add a lot to the Bond franchise. I am really hoping that Casino Royale really pulls off a big victory when it comes out so people can eat their words.
“Leonardo DiCaprio has signed on to be…the youngest Captain to ever sit in the center seat of a Federation Starship…”
OMG! LOL! Now Sam, that is just plain WRONG.
: )
I must say, though, I’m looking forward to the day when Tom Hanks plays a full-on, hardcore bastard. (Along the lines of Harrison Ford’s creepily wonderful turnin “What Lies Beneath”.)
I guess I’m in the minority when I say that I can wait until BSG comes back ( I like it, but I can wait).
But I just can’t wait until the Stargate shows come back. I haven’t felt this way since I was waiting for Enterprise to come back for its 3rd season.
I’m even counting down the days.
Allow me to take the opposite view. I could give a rip about the countdown to either Stargate series. But hearing that I have to wait till 10/2006 to see Battlestar again makes me want to vomit. And not the 8th grade, nervous, about to kiss a girl vomit either; but the been kicked in the stomach and left in the gutter type vomit. Very sad.
Don’t worry. We here at SoSF have not joined the ranks of Craig bashers out there. We are simply reporting what is coming from the set of “Casino Royale” and from the other entertainment press. Reports are that Daniel is upset with the part of Bond and is not happy with the kinds of press he has been getting calling him a whiner and such. I do know that he isn’t as happy as he thought he would be at playing Bond. Don’t quite know why, but he has voiced his disatisfaction.
As far as Daniel Craig the actor goes, he is a fine actor and if Brosnan wasn’t getting another shot at it, Craig was as good a choice as anyone else that was in the running, although my personal preference would have been to keep on Brosnan for one more Bond jaunt or to have gone with a ER’s Goran Visnjic. But I can be happy with Craig since that was Barbara’s obvious choice.
Daniel Craig is a good actor and I think he will do well in the role. However, there have beens some teething problems with his performance 🙂
