Rowling to start final Potter book J.K. Rowling...

Rowling to start final Potter book


J.K. Rowling expects to have a busy 2006, "the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series." That'll make seven Potter books.


"I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can't wait to get started, to tell the final part of the story and, at last, to answer all the questions (Will I ever answer all of the questions? Let's aim for most of the questions); and yet it will all be over at last and I can't quite imagine life without Harry," the British author wrote on her Web site.

The sixth installment, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," came out last summer.

Audio drama is a fantastic and under utilized...

AudioEpic.com is one of the worst laid out sites for a concept that is quite decent. So before visiting, you have been warned, but tool around. It’s a good content website.

Audio drama is a fantastic and under utilized medium of imaginative entertainment. Many of us have enjoyed this fantastic medium from the early days of radio broadcasts through the modern work of contemporary creators who take advantage of the qualities of stereo sound to and modern ideas to expand the scope of audio plays and series of science fiction and fantasy.

While media SF&F continues to be popular, much of it is still mired in sensibilities literary genres passed decades ago. Much of this has to do with the demands of movie makers and television networks and their approach. Audio Epics aren't run on networks which demand a simplistic, target demographic friendly story. We believe science fiction is about pushing boundaries. Not merely dressing up standard formulas with genre clichés.

From Audio Epic, you will experience series and single stories which are challenging and entertaining in a way which most media SF dares not be. Without visual limitations, you can escape from the everyday in 5.1 surround sound. If Science Fiction and Fantasy with an adult sensibility si what your looking for, then put on you r headphones and listen up. You might like this...

Low-Budget Science Fiction Short Indie Film Produced in Singapore

Novice film-maker uses chromakey studio to produce a 6-minute indie science fiction film for educational purposes, as an experiment to understand the entire film-making process.


(PRWEB) December 22, 2005 -- A short 6-minute science fiction independent ("indie") film has been produced by a novice film-maker with the intention to inspire young film-makers and aspirants to think imaginatively outside the box.

The short film, titled "Peaceful Knights of BuZen - Return from Corruption", is produced by Seamus Phan, an Internet consultant, keynote speaker, and published author. The short film, titled "Peaceful Knights of BuZen - Return from Corruption", is produced by Seamus Phan, an Internet consultant, keynote speaker, and published author.The film is inspired by the many personalities and writers Phan has admired through his childhood, including Sir Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Douglas Adams, George Lucas, Gene Roddenberry, and Steven Spielberg. Phan grew up listening to Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" on BBC radio as a young child.

The short film is part of an opener to a 10-part feature story that will eventually be an education in charity, compassion and chivalry, and about the impact of non-violence and how that can bring about greater impact than violent aggression itself. In this opening story in the form of a short film, 2 monks in a distant planet wanted to warn of an imminent danger in a galactic temple, but were turned away. The younger monk turned to evil, but was ultimately brought back to the good side by the master. In between, the story told of how the master found the apprentice as a rogue trader, and subsequently trained him in the ways of defense and meditation.

Unlike many amateur productions which were either produced in real-life locations such as old buildings, mountains, and forests, Phan took the more difficult path of shooting on chromakey in a commercial chromakey studio ("bluescreen"). Phan designed the props himself, supervised the chromakey prop production, and acted as the master monk in the story as well. While the film did not pretend to be a commercial quality film, Phan reflected that the important point in this production was not to rival commercially produced films, but more as an educational tool for himself, and to inspire younger people.

"While some people still believe that movie making can be an expensive exercise in futility, many would rather relegate the process of making movies to much simpler exercises of simply capturing fleeting moments of their personal lives.," said Phan."While some people still believe that movie making can be an expensive exercise in futility, many would rather relegate the process of making movies to much simpler exercises of simply capturing fleeting moments of their personal lives.," said Phan. "I humbly believe that everyone has dreams, and have the capacity to learn and to dream. By stretching the capabilities of modern consumer video and computer equipment, and stretching one's own imagination, it can become a fulfilling, mentally rewarding, and deeply educational experience for anyone from the young to the mature."

Phan made numerous mistakes during prop construction, which resulted in his total budget of producing this film, including equipment, materials, studio rental, computer software, at around US$4,500. He believes that it is possible, if he knew about prop construction techniques, to have reduced his total spending to under US$3,000. He hopes to share his mistakes, his learning points, and any useful experience, at his film site, www.peacefulknights.com.

LEGO Plus Star Wars Equals One Hot...

When I heard from LEGO about its charity auction on eBay for this outstanding one-of-a-kind 8-foot model of a Star Wars Rebel Attack Cruiser built entirely out of LEGO bricks, I thought, fun idea -- but how many people are really going to bid on something that, well, large and geeky? (Can you just see what would happen if a dog or a three-year-old got hold of this? Hope it's glued together!) As I write this, 45 bids are in, the most recent for over $20,000. The auction goes for 8 more days; I can't wait to see how high it goes. Here are some details:



Stem to stern the model is 97 inches long and 47 inches wide, weighs over 150 pounds and is created using over 35,000 pieces.


Model features precise detail in LEGO form, fuctional elements and secret features.


Model is built around a steel armature that runs down the spine of the ship and includes a rolling steel display frame.


Model took over 450 hours to design and build.


So if you're got mucho disposable cash on hand and are (or know) someone who adores all things Star Wars and LEGO, you'll be doing good things for your karma by bidding. All proceeds go to Habitats for Humanity International, specifically to help hurricane victims.

The Prisoner . . . again?

The United Kingdom's Sky One is said to be planning a new series inspired by the cult 1960s series The Prisoner, which starred Patrick McGoohan as a former secret agent trapped in an isolated town, the BBC News Web site reported.


The show will not take place in the famous "Village" setting of the original -- shot in the north Wales village of Portmeirion--the industry weekly Broadcast reported. But it is understood the themes of paranoia, conspiracy and identity crisis will remain, the BBC reported. Damien Timmer, who has been lined up to executive-produce the show for Granada, told Broadcast the new series would take "liberties with the original" and would not retain its arty feel.

The original Prisoner ran for 17 episodes on ITV in 1967. Bill Gallagher, the writer of the BBC's crime drama Conviction, is reported to be writing the new version.

It has been at least 30 years since...

It has been at least 30 years since I read this classic series by C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe," and so imagine my surprise when the characters came to life on the movie screen. I did, however, remember enough of the plot not to feel too damned old to be there, although parts of the movie still seemed new to me. My daughter commented that the movie lacked the depth of the books; granted she's closer in age to the "reading" event than I am, but for a movie, it seemed a good waste of 2.5 hours.


The Pevensie kids are separated from their mother during World War II and forced to live in a huge mansion with virtually no adult supervision save a housekeeper they call "The Mcready" who's only purpose is to who warns that "The Professor" can not ever be disturbed. So, no running, no jumping, breathe lightly and tiptoe around. Well, we know how long that lasts. She seems more a housekeeper on methamphetamine - tense, terse and prone to exaggeration - than a caregiver of children. She becomes the woman with heavy feet, stomping around off-camera to send the kids scattering. Basically, there is no supervision at all.

The "Chronicles of Narnia" is about four kids discovering that their closet is a portal into a magical world. I remember being enthralled when I first read it; I was much younger then and less jaded. However, the beaver in full metal body armor gave me pause. I never imagined a beaver ready to "throw down," armed to the nines and ready to take on all comers.

These kids also survive for long periods of time in a snowy forest, which could only happen in a Lewis novel. In reality, they would have about as much chance of surviving in a snowy, sub-zero degree forest as Captain Kirk would have leading a life of celibacy.

The children step from one war zone (World War II, Europe) into, well, another war zone called Narnia, where the warriors aren't our brave soldiers in combat gear, but a collection of talking beavers, fauns, goblins, and other half man-half, half-animal creatures armed to the teeth with enough strategy and tactics to survive a South Central L.A. riot unscathed.

It's been snowing for the past 100 years, which is liable to make anybody a bit testyIt's been snowing for the past 100 years, which is liable to make anybody a bit testy, all thanks to the woman whom everyone is either enslaved to or preparing to fight. Enter the White Witch, played incredibly well by Tilda Swinton, an extraordinarily pale skinned woman with white hair - and when I say almost no color, I mean she makes ghosts look tanned.

We have the usual religious claptrap that went along with this book - "Two sons of Adam, and two daughters of Eve," - who turn out to be the children themselves - must break the curse. Humans, you see, are virtually unknown beings in Narnia's mystical world, and the children are viewed prophetically. All the beavers, fauns and such like have whispered of four humans coming to save the day. These kids could be less interested, but as the story progresses, they become more like the heroes in the Narnian fable and less like children trying to run back through the wardrobe to safety. They have the support of a mighty lion, Aslan, who is not only mighty, but good, pure and right. We have to have one of these in every fairy tale or evil would take over; then we'd be watching a horror film.

They are helped to their hero-hood by, of all people, Father Christmas (James Cosmo) who rides in on his sleigh and, after a long speech about hope and the future of Narnia, turns out to be an arms dealer on the side except for that one day of delivering toys to tots. I guess he has to do something those other 364 days out of the year.


Christmas takes armament out of his gift bag, giving the children with an assortment of weaponry, a quick speech about using their tools effectively, then rides off into the snow presumably back to the North Pole.Christmas takes armament out of his gift bag, giving the children with an assortment of weaponry, a quick speech about using their tools effectively, then rides off into the snow presumably back to the North Pole. I half expected him to pull out the Narnian equivalent of a glock, but he managed to just stick with the various white-trash, pre-industrial age solutions to disputes - knives, arrows and swords.One wonders, though if maybe he stop en-route to rob a convenience store, but I digress. It is definitely a 2005 Christmas moment.

Overall, Narnia's comes to us with the same empowering message created by the book, and it is fueled by an engrossing plot, strong acting, the usual plethora of "Oh Wow!" special effects, and surprising bursts of comic relief. The beavers are cool; the faun silly and Aslan, very noble. It, of course, reminds me of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter." but it's less cumbersome than the former movie and less goofy than the latter.

Do you think Daniel Jackson is a bit miffed?

WARNING: Spoilers for the current season.


>


>

Do you think Daniel Jackson is a bit miffed? Why, you ask? Well, Amanda Tappings character, Samantha Carter is apparently going to Stargate Atlantis. Hasn't Daniel been petitioning to go there for a long time.


So, what do you think Dr. Jackson will think?. He wanted to go to Atlantis when they first discovered the gate in Antarctica, and he wanted to go at the beginning of Season 9 before Vala ruined those plans. So, if Carter is going to be going back and forth to Atlantis, Daniel could be a little envious and a little disgruntled at not being given a similar opportunity.The question then becomes, will this cause friction between him and Carter or more likely between him and Mitchell or will he be all laid back with it.

Would you?

Off the planet Science friction ... Matt Groening....

Off the planet


Science friction ... Matt Groening.


Matt Groening has faith in the relaunch of Futurama, writes Michael Idato.

Nearly four years after it was cancelled, the popularity of Futurama on DVD could breathe life back into the animated television series. On the subject of a rumoured resurrection, creator Matt Groening, best known for his other animated hit, The Simpsons, says, intriguingly: "You never know."

Such a trail was blazed in 2004 by another animated series, Family Guy. Fuelled by DVD sales and high-rating reruns, it spawned a direct-to-DVD film and two seasons of television episodes.

OBIT: Robert Sheckley died Friday, Dec. 9, 2005

Noted fantasy writer and longtime Portlander Robert Sheckley died Friday, Dec. 9, 2005, in a Poughkeepsie, N.Y., hospital, 28 days after he was stricken with a brain aneurysm. In recent days, he went into a coma from which he never awakened. He was 77.


Noted fantasy writer and longtime Portlander Robert Sheckley died Friday, Dec. 9, 2005, in a Poughkeepsie, N.Y., hospital, 28 days after he was stricken with a brain aneurysm. In recent days, he went into a coma from which he never awakened. He was 77Sheckley, who lived in Portland for almost 20 years before moving in 2003, had a variety of health problems, from late-stage emphysema to heart attacks, but had rallied from them all. He made headlines in May when he collapsed with a severe cold while in Kiev, Ukraine, where he was the guest of honor at a convention of science fiction writers and fans. He contracted pneumonia, fell unconscious and remained gravely ill for a while but recovered enough to be flown to his daughter's home near Pine Plains, N.Y.

He regained his vitality in New York and was in communication with friends and family, including his wife, Portland writer Gail Dana. He lived in an apartment in Red Hook, about 20 miles from his daughter, Anya Sheckley. The day he suffered his aneurysm, he had hiked into town with his ever-present backpack full of books.


Sheckley wrote many novels, short stories, scripts and magazine pieces. He was especially popular in Europe, where his books were translated into Russian, Polish, Italian, French and other languages. He was in demand at science fiction conventions, and organizers flew him to New Zealand, France, Romania, England and other countries where his work was revered. When he appeared, he was treated like "a rock star," family members said.


Among his works were such collections as "Can You Feel Anything When I Do This?" "Citizen in Space" and "Is That What People Do?" He wrote dozens of novels, including "The Game of X," "Dimension of Miracles" and "Mindswap," which he said he thought was one of his best works.

He wrote dozens of novels, including "The Game of X," "Dimension of Miracles" and "Mindswap," which he said he thought was one of his best worksHis book "Immortality Inc." was adapted for a film called "Freejack," starring Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo and Mick Jagger. "The 10th Victim" became an Italian movie starring Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress. He also wrote for graphic novels, multimedia games, television and other mediums.

In Portland, Sheckley lived a mostly quiet and ascetic life. Clad in well-worn bluejeans and T-shirts, he carried his backpack of books around, frequently hiking from the east side across the Willamette River to the Central Library and Powell's Books. He spent many hours in the library's Sterling Room for Writers, where writers could work in semi-privacy.

He also participated in the Community of Writers, a nonprofit program that brought writers and poets into classrooms.

"He was really gentle with the kids," said Larry Colton, who founded and oversaw the writing program. "Some teachers said, 'Some kids I could never get to write, he got to write.' "

Sheckley was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1928. He grew up in New York and New Jersey, and served in Korea with the U.S. Army. He was a self-employed freelancer most of his adult life, though he was an editor for Omni magazine from 1979 to 1982. He traveled widely and said he yearned to return to the island of Ibiza, where he was a member of a loose-knit community of artists in the 1970s.

He will be buried in the Artists Cemetery in Woodstock, N.Y., most likely on Tuesday, Dec. 13, Anya Sheckley said. Arrangements are being handled by Simpson-Gaus Funeral Home of Kingston, N.Y.

'King Kong' Review

Review: 'King Kong'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: December 9, 2005
Filed at 12:00 p.m. ET


As a kid in New Zealand, Peter Jackson caught the original ''King Kong'' on TV one Friday night and was so blown away, he decided to make movies just like that 1933 classic.

Thank heaven his local station wasn't running a Jerry Lewis marathon.

It was reasonable to figure there was no way Jackson could top his monumental ''The Lord of the Rings'' trilogy. Yet Jackson's done so with his spectacular update of the country-ape-meets-city-girl love story, his ''King Kong'' passionately commemorating the original while adding chills, frills and thrills by the boatload.

Just when it seemed Hollywood had reached a visual-effects plateau where all a film could do was pile on more of the same without distinguishing itself from its computer-generated predecessors, along comes ''Kong'' to swing to new peaks of dazzling digital storytelling.

Apart from a few curiously phony-looking special effects, ''King Kong'' presents a fantastic world seamlessly blending live action, computer imagery and miniature sets and props.

Likewise, aside from a couple of absurd moments where ''Kong'' strains credibility even in a tale of giant apes, insects and dinosaurs, the action sequences are stupendous, some almost visionary in conception and design.Likewise, aside from a couple of absurd moments where ''Kong'' strains credibility even in a tale of giant apes, insects and dinosaurs, the action sequences are stupendous, some almost visionary in conception and design We're used to seeing bigger, badder variants of things we've seen before in Hollywood movies, yet ''King Kong'' is a rare beast that startles again and again, each chase, battle and flurry of motion more intense and innovative than the last.

Certainly, Jackson is guilty of piling on throughout ''King Kong,'' indulging himself in an excess of excess like a famished gorilla turned loose at a farmer's market.

Topping three hours, the film is almost twice as long as the 1933 version and feels like the extended cut studios put out on DVD a year or two after the theatrical release. The overlong Manhattan setup and shipboard journey to Kong's island could have been cut considerably, and even some of the action scenes are longer than they need to be.

Still, when what's on screen is as good as this, three hours pass quickly.

Unlike the woeful 1976 remake, which updated the story to modern times and had Kong climbing the World Trade Center instead of the Empire State Building, Jackson's version takes the story back to 1933.

Unscrupulous filmmaker Carl Denham (Jack Black, showing dramatic chops beyond expectations) is about to get shut down by his financiers on his trek to Skull Island, a lost world where he plans to shoot an adventure epic. Denham unleashes a flurry of lies to assemble his equipment and crew aboard the tramp steamer that will carry them to the south seas, hoping to shove off before the money men can stop him.

With his leading lady a no-show, Carl encounters out-of-work vaudevillian Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts, who proves she has as good a set of pipes as her ''Kong'' predecessor Fay Wray). Carl cons Ann into signing on and manages to hijack his screenwriter, playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody, a sturdily heroic presence), to complete the script during the voyage.

The screenplay by Jackson and writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens fleshes out the lead players into much richer characters than the 1933 version.

Jackson and company also craft a full-bodied ensemble of shipmates: Steely Capt. Englehorn (Thomas Kretschmann), dauntless first mate Hayes (Evan Parke), impressionable deckhand Jimmy (Jamie Bell), Carl's devoted aide Preston (Colin Hanks) and colorful ship's cook Lumpy (Andy Serkis). Jackson also used Serkis' motions and performance as the foundation for his digitally created Kong, the same way Serkis formed the basis of the computer-generated Gollum in ''The Lord of the Rings.''

At Skull Island, the natives kidnap Ann as a sacrifice to the feared 25-foot gorilla. Having fallen for Ann, Jack convinces the others to mount a rescue mission, leading them into a land that time forgot overrun with dinosaurs, huge bugs, monstrous bats and other creatures.

At Skull Island, the natives kidnap Ann as a sacrifice to the feared 25-foot gorilla. Having fallen for Ann, Jack convinces the others to mount a rescue mission, leading them into a land that time forgot overrun with dinosaurs, huge bugs, monstrous bats and other creaturesWhen the branches begin to creak and the boughs start to break before Kong's first entrance, it's as big a moment of expectation as today's seen-it-all audiences are likely to experience.

From then on, the action and drama never let up. The island natives are terrifying in a demonic, ''Dawn of the Dead'' manner. The dinosaurs are even scarier. The giant insects will have you squirming in your seat. Kong's battle with multiple tyrannosaurs in a net of vines is one of the greatest action sequences ever made.

Instead of Kong's love-at-first-sight fixation with Wray in the original, Watts' Ann has to work for the ape's affections, her charms gradually elevating her from battered plaything to cherished trophy girlfriend.

As for Watts, this woman can really scream. With little dialogue and only Serkis in a padded suit to act off of, Watts captures mournful tenderness for the big galoot. The relationship progresses from Watts' ''My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble'' smirk when Kong shows up to save her from dinosaurs to her profound despair over the ape's subjugation after he's captured and brought back to New York as a sideshow freak.

The computer-generated Kong is a marvel, his movements and expressions embodying primal rage, bestial bewilderment, even hearty humor. The filmmakers suffuse Kong with majestic melancholy and deepen his sense of loneliness with hints that he once had brethren but now is the last of his kind.

From his king of New York chest-beating atop the Empire State Building to his last tortured glances at Ann, Kong feels like a living, breathing character with old-soul pathos.

Jackson sticks in a clever Fay Wray mention early on and offers a dedication in the end credits to the actress, directors Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and other co-stars of the 1933 ''King Kong.''

But the whole remake reveals Jackson's reverence for the original. Many sequences, shots and even individual dramatic beats are lifted from Cooper and Schoedsack's version and transfigured through the director's personal vision and masterful command of the 72 years of film technology that has come since.

''The whole world will pay to see this,'' Denham declares, contemplating the fortune he can make putting Kong on display.

Jackson can count on the same reception for his ''Kong.''

''King Kong,'' a Universal release, is rated PG-13 for frightening adventure violence and some disturbing images. Running time: 187 minutes. Four stars out of four.

Into the Wonder

Into the Wonder


You won't understand the genius of C. S. Lewis's literary criticism, satire, science fiction, and theological essays until you spend time in Narnia.

The Narnian:

The Life and Imagination of C. S. Lewis by Alan Jacobs

Harper, San Francisco


In March of 1949, C. S. Lewis invited a friend named Roger Lancelyn Green to dinner at Magdalen College of Oxford University, where Lewis was a tutor. Green had attended Lewis's lectures a decade earlier, and their friendship had grown over the years. It must have been especially refreshing for Lewis to contemplate an evening of food, wine, and conversation, for his life was miserable at that moment.

He lived with his brother and an elderly woman named Mrs. Moore, whom he often referred to as his mother--though she was not. Both of them were unwell and dependent upon him. Just a few days before his dinner with Green, Lewis had written to an American friend that he was "tied to an invalid," which is what Mrs. Moore had become, confined to bed by arthritis and varicose veins. For her part, Mrs. Moore proclaimed that Lewis was "as good as an extra maid in the house," and she certainly used him as a maid. She seems also to have become obsessive and quarrelsome in her latter years, worried always about her dog and constantly at odds with the domestic help.
