Unsurprisingly, Disney Says It’s Not Backing Down on That Merida Redesign

by Susana Polo | 2:41 pm, May 16th, 2013

The recently controversial redesign Disney’s done in order to induct Merida of Brave into the canon of their other princesses isn’t the first time Disney has done a sparklier, cleaner, trimmer version of their princesses. But it’s caused particular backlash in part because Merida represented a different kind of femininity than most of her other princess counterparts.

Snow and other bright white surfaces—80%
Scientists screwing things up for the rest of us—15%
That black goo from The X-Files—5%

Meh. I’ll watch it.

Battlestar Galactica Newbie Recap: 33

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:30 pm, April 10th, 2013

I’m a sci-fi geek who has never seen Battlestar Galactica. Yes, I know, I know. 2013 is the year I change that, and I’m blogging as I go.

Does Anyone Want to Watch Battlestar Galactica With Me?

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:58 pm, April 3rd, 2013

I have never seen Battlestar Galactica. Yes, I know, I know. But I made a pledge to myself that this is the year I will. And so I, a BSG virgin, was thinking I’d watch show for the very first time and write about it here as I go along. Because I’ve been reliably informed that it will give me feels nigh impossible to contain. And I want to see what all the hoopla is about, darnit.

Here’s what I thought of the miniseries, beginning with a little disclosure in the form of Things I (Think I) Know About Battlestar Galactica:

Because There Can Never Be Enough Mechas, ’70s Anime Series Gaiking Is Getting a Live-Action Movie

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:01 am, December 21st, 2012

The giant robot-centric anime Gaiking has had a long life. Originally an animated series in the 70s, it later became part of Mattel’s Shogun Warriors toy line and screened in the US as part of the anime anthology Force Five. There was a remake in 2005 and a trio of English-dubbed movies cut from the original series a few years later. And now it’s getting its very own live-action movie courtesy of The Walking Dead producer Gale Anne Hurd.

Because You Can Never Have Enough Twilight (No, Not That Twilight), CBS is Rebooting The Twilight Zone

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:15 pm, December 19th, 2012

When I first saw this headline cavort across my browser I confused Bryan Singer with Bryan Fuller for a second (easy mistake to make) and thought the latter was the one doing a The Twilight Zone reboot. Alas, the Bryan in questions is not the one behind Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and the upcoming Hannibal, but rather the one behind X-Men, X2, and House M.D..

Sigh. But it’s probably a good thing that it’s not Fuller, as it’s well-known that his involvement increases a show’s chances for premature cancellation tenfold.
