Film

  • Chud asks What went wrong with Terminator Salvation?
  • Director Guillermo del Toro discusses the future of his career with Wired magazine.
  • Geeks prepare to get your rage on… a Buffy relaunch could be heading to theaters, sans Whedon. That’s right, no Joss whatsoever. Would it be worth watching? Would we go anyway?
  • Liquid Generation runs down the 100 Best Movie Lines in 200 Seconds in a single video.
  • Topless Robot runs down a list of 5 Things Comic Book Movies Need to Stop Doing, including Stan Lee cameos.

Internet

  • Cameron Frye’s house from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is for sale. And while no one who reads this blog could possibly afford it, it’s still fun to gawk at.
  • New York Magazine has published an interesting article on the consequences of living in an age of distractions.

Literature

  • Interview: Daily Motion has an excellent interview with Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Name of the Wind, from Sci-Fi London. Did you know he worked on his series thirteen years before publishing and thinks Neil Patrick Harris is gorgeous?

Television

  • Doctor Who is coming to Saturday morning television as an animated series.
  • The Geek Guide to the Upcoming Fall TV Season
  • I’m not entirely certain that The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be the only thing I miss about the Terminator franchise, but by and large, I agree with io9’s Terminator Salvation Made Me Miss Sarah Connor Chronicles More
  • Insanity: Roddenberry Productions is going to release more than 500 hours of previously unseen footage from the Star Trek series. Why was none of this released back when, you know, Star Trek was popular?
