This is Tony Collett's weblog dedicated to my thoughts on the happenings in the world, comic books, anime, science fiction, DVDs, and anything else I encounter. I'm forty-something, male, and married (sorry, ladies)

View Article  Spider-Man 3 Villains Revealed?
According to MTV.com, Kirsten Dunst has revealed Thomas Hayden Church will be playing the Sandman and Topher Grace will be playing Venom in Spider-Man 3. With "no comment" from the Marvel camp, one wonders if it is a (possibly planned?) leak.
View Article  The Big Darn Movie
Saw Serenity last night. Loved it. Was way better than other science fiction movies *Koff*Prequels*Koff*. Joe Bob says check it out, even if you haven't seen Firefly. I would tell you to either get the DVDs or watch it Fridays at 7 on Sci-Fi Channel, but you'll want to do that anyway after seeing it. You don't need to in order to enjoy the movie, but it enhances it if you have. In fact, a line of dialogue of a sexual nature that would ordinarily offend my Chrisitian wife produced a reaction of "I can't believe she said that" because of the familiarity with the characters. BTW, the headline was inspired by her slight change of the nickname for the movie.
View Article  Looking For Comedy In The Muslim World
Mark Evanier pointed out this article about a new movie by Albert Brooks inspired by 9/11 that pokes fun of celebrity insecurity and government inefficiency was passed up by Sony that thought it would offend Muslims and wouldn't be good for business. This from a company that released Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Fortunately, Warner Independent will be releasing it.
View Article  I'm Going To the Big Damn Movie Tomorrow!
I just got an e-mail that I won a pass for two to Serenity tomorrow night from the local alternative paper Nuvo. Hoody Hoo! Dunno if Steve H will be at the office when I come pick up the tickets.
View Article  Another Earth Festival Has Ended
Well, kids, the 100,000+ have left town and all that's left is the clean up.
Fortunately, the beef jerky ladies were nowhere around. Got to eat some roasted corn on the cob and ribeye sandwich and the wife got her Italian sausage sandwich and fish and chips. Also, from the vendors she got a sweeper "as seen on TV" to pick up and a tie-dye shirt.
Sorry there aren't more details, but trust me, this is details enough given the weekend in question.
View Article  Update From Earlier
Well, I just deleted another round of spam. Apparently everyone in the Blogharbor community is suffering from these attacks, as an e-mail was sent out. Basically, while they're doing everything they can, disabling the anonymous posting is the best bet to stop it.
So if anyone has any comments, you gotta register. Shouldn't be more than putting in a name and a password. Like with my answering machine at home if you don't want to leave a message, forget it it wasn't important.
Feel a little better than this morning, but still down in the dumps. It's grey out there today.
View Article  *SIGH*
I've just deleted a lot of comments that were nothing more than solicitations, mainly for p@rn. There were a lot more this time than before. And I think you name it, there's porn for it somewhere on the internet.
When you're getting more comments like that than on what you're saying, still no word the job market and unemployment, and my little town is having a festival where the population of 700 swells up to 100,000+. Not to mention the beef jerky ladies across the street from my bedroom that'll be yelling "HOMEMADE BEEF JERKY, FREE SAMPLE" all-too frequently starting in the morning and going both days. Plus there's work to do on this house (I don't wanna)...I'm so tired of it all.
