HBO Scraps Adaptation of PREACHER - Aug 27, 2008 - 08:35am
Kind of sucks. I dumped HBO when they dumped Carnivale. I will rent some of the series they do on DVD/Blu-Ray, but I don't pay them anything anymore. I'm also a boxing fan, but that sport is going downhill. Some of their series and boxing was really all they had going for them. I don't really care about their movies, because I rent or buy the ones I want to see way before they are available on HBO. I loved Preacher though and don't think a single movie would be enough to do it justice. I had heard at one point James Marsden was under consideration for Jesse Custer, I think he would have not been a good choice. A younger Christian Slayter would have worked, as he already basically played the part in True Romance.

Character Returns from Dead in LOST - Aug 27, 2008 - 08:09am
If Wiseguy is going to do a NotAFan interpretation, then I'm going to do a Hanso impression. "Lost is the best show on TV, son" The thing is, I would agree with Hanso.

Universal Acquires Robert Jordan's WHEEL OF TIME - Aug 14, 2008 - 07:44am
Here is what Jordan wrote about Red Eagle in a blog on 8/22/07. The entire blog can be found at http://www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/?p=88 "I hear things now and then floating out in the air. For instance, I hear that word was floating about ComicsCon in San Diego that I am displeased with Red Eagle. Too true. Too very true. In a few more months that last contract they have with anyone on God’s green earth that so much as mentions my name will come to an end and we can see what happens after that. You see, among other things they forgot an old dictum of LBJ back when he was just a Congressman from Texas, when he famously, or infamously, said “Don’t spit in the soup. boys. We all have to eat.” Worse, Red Eagle though they could tell me they spit in the soup, or pee in it, if they wanted to and there wasn’t anything I could do to stop them. You can’t apologize your way out of that with me, not that they tried. There isn’t enough money in the world to buy your way out of it with me. Not that they tried that either. So they get no further help from me. Once they are completely out of the picture, we’ll see what happens." It appears that Red Eagle loosing the rights never came to fruition though.
