Those funny folks at Pixar. There’s always so much going on that it’s hard to see everything they put in there.
But never fear! Jim Hill Media has rounded up all the cross-references in their movies.
Makes you wanna dust off those DVD’s doesn’t it?
Gate Geeks – We have DVDs!
Just in time for my birthday, the upcoming SG1 movie The Ark of Truth will be released direct-to-DVD on March 11th.
The week before, the US will finally get its own chance to buy Stargate’s version of The Star Wars Holiday Special when Stargate Infinity: The Legend Begins is released on March 6th. (Although really, it would take a lot to be as bad as The Holiday Special!)
In other Stargate news:
– Joe Mallozzi advises us to spread the wealth in our praises and criticisms of each week’s show. Plus, he announced that he will be breaking down this week’s mid-season finale and fielding questions in his blog.
– The Chucknician himself, Chuck Campbell, talks about the joys of being a day player for Stargate.
– And Stargate’s own Head Fan Pierre Bernard (from Conan O’Brien’s Recliner of Rage bit) throws out a press release for one last push on the People’s Choice Awards voting. (Which still has a few categories open.)
I was a teenage Terminator
Even though the Writer’s Strike is still going, we will be getting some new genre television come January in the form of the new Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Summer Glau talks about adjusting to playing a terminator.
In related Terminator news, could Christian Bale be in negotiations for T4?
Gate Geek – The Catch-Up Version
What have we missed while my internet access has been down? A few tidbits, here and there:
– All sorts of hardly-spoilery photos from the upcoming SG1 movie The Ark of Truth.
– Info of a definitely-more spoilery nature about this Friday’s mid-season finale of Stargate Atlantis. GateWorld finds more story details. The Official Site puts up new video that gives a bit more away than SciFi’s preview.
– We also have a new interview with Amanda Tapping on the joys of Rodney McKay.
– And there’s still one more day left to support Atlantis in the People’s Choice voting.
Gate Geek – Chuck!
Stargate always seems to have one character who comes out of the background and becomes beloved. (Like the technician who eventually became known as Walter in the SGC.)
Atlantis’ gate technician has joined those ranks by finally getting a name, Chuck, which just so happens to be the actors’ own. He tells GateWorld all about it in this interview preview. Maybe he’ll get a last name in Season 5?
In other news, David Hewlett catches up on his My Favorite Line series in a muffled, post-baby version on YouTube.
Gate Geek – Find the Truth
We have a new trailer! Supposedly taken from the SGA DVD released in Europe, the quality is dubious and the special effects appear to be from other episodes, but the scenes are definitely from the upcoming SG1 movie The Ark of Truth. (You can see the first trailer on the official site.)
Back in the Pegasus Galaxy, Slice of SciFi interviews writer Martin Gero about the direction the show has taken and how fans just need to get over it, already. (via)
Having trouble getting over it? Maybe winning a walk-on role and lunch with Joe Flanigan and Amanda Tapping will help? (Really must work on that lottery win.)
And only a week left to try and get David Hewlett the chance to fly to LA and meet Queen Latifah.
Chewie’s Living in Vancouver?
Noted in the LiveJournal Star Wars Community:
Has Chewie moved to Vancouver? Or is he just there to check out the upcoming Olympics?
Still not as bad as the Atlanta mascot.
Gate Geek – The Hair Lives!
While not as famous as Club Jade’s very own The Hair, Joe Flanigan‘s hair has become the stuff of legend and many a joke on Stargate. In this video from Creation, Joe tells just how it got that way.
And a man with less hair than Joe, producer/writer Carl Binder, will be picketing in front of Disney Studios in Burbank today from 8am to 11am. Any food other than oatmeal cookies are appreciated.
Online Video Awards
Three nods for sci-fi in the 2007 Online Video Awards.
– Sanctuary won for Original Web Drama Series.
– Star Trek: The New Voyages won for Sci-Fi Webisodes.
– And Heroes won for Best TV Show Site.
TV Crunch Time
So many genre offerings this year, so little audience to go around. How are things going?
In the happy news category, Chuck has gotten the order for a full season. And Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is gearing up by asking for fan-made posters. And now that series 1 of Torchwood is wrapping up, the teasing begins with all the cool guest stars for series 2 (i.e., James Marsters).
In the sad news category, Journeyman appears about to leap into the Land of Cancellation. He apparently won’t be terribly lonely as Bionic Woman is about to join him. And even though all of this is speculation, at the very least, Katee Sackhoff hasn’t exactly given it much enthusiastic support on the con circuit.
