Pretty much the same as the previous one, with one big and very awesome exception at the end.

The Genesis of Doctor Who Collection - a must see for fans of the good Doctor, as the BBC has created a web archive of key documents detailing the development of the show just in time for the 45th anniversary of the first episode's broadcast on November 23rd.

Star Trek trailer - the official release, not a blurry bootleg. I saw it on the big screen yesterday before Quantum of Solace, and it looked even more awesome. Some of the potential violations of canon in the trailer annoy me a little, but I'll withhold judgment until I see the actual film.

The First Avenger: Captain America has a director attached: Joe Johnston. His directing credits include Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Jumanji, Jurassic Park III, the upcoming Wolf Man remake, and, last but not least, the underrated 1991 retro superhero film The Rocketeer. It's that last film that makes me think he's a good choice to direct The First Avenger: Captain America. The screenplay is being written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, co-writers of the first two Chronicles of Narnia films.

Josh Schwartz (creator of The O.C., Chuck, and Gossip Girl) has been hired to write the screenplay for the next X-Men film, which will focus on a younger team of mutants and will be called X-Men: First Class.

Has anyone reading this ever seen the French/Japanese anime-influenced animated series, Ōban Star-Racers? I've caught a half dozen or so episodes out of sequence on cable and I really like it. I need to get the DVDs and watch the entire series in order.

It's a bootleg on YouTube, so it could be taken down at any time.

Three men associated with the Star Trek franchise have died in the past two weeks.

First it was Joseph Pevney, who directed fourteen episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series, including some of the absolute best ("The City on the Edge of Forever" and "The Trouble with Tribbles").

Then it was Alexander Courage, who composed the iconic theme music for Star Trek: The Original Series.

Now it's Robert H. Justman, who was a producer for both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, and was considered to be creator Gene Roddenberry's right hand man on both shows.
