This weekend, Pink Raygun will be at the New York Comicon.

There is a lot of awesome stuff lined up. Teresa Jusino will be interviewing the cast of Fringe prior to their panel appearance. John will be at the Zuda Comics booth with the Black Cherry Bombshells team in the DC Pavilion on Friday from 2-3, Saturday from from 4-5, and Sunday from 12-2. They'll also be at the Zuda Comics panel on Friday from 3:30-4:30 in room 1A06.

I'll be doing my best to fight my way into the Torchwood panel, the Dollhouse panel, and the screening of UP. and generally making a nuisance of myself as I Twitter and crash into people and displays.

Kate Winslet Nominated for an Oscar? Life Imitates Fiction - John A. Farrell (usnews.com)

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:36:23 -0800

After watching 'Extras' today this story is even funnier! I haven't seen the film but I'm sure Ms Winslet won't win or lose and Oscar because of Ricky Gervais.

"..."I'm doing it because I noticed," Winslet confides to Gervais, that "if you do a film about the Holocaust, you're guaranteed an Oscar.

"I've been nominated four times. Never won," she gripes. "The whole world is going, `Why hasn't Winslet won one?'..."

You really couldn't make it up!

Arrow in the Head News: Austin Zombie Lit

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:14:33 -0800

What a great idea! "...Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton--and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy
of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers--and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead...."
