Since I we (sorry, Goose) had a lot to do this weekend, we weren’t able to record tonight. Rest assured, though, that we’re not abandoning you. We’ve all set aside time to record tomorrow night, and you’ll get the podcast late tomorrow night. Or maybe early Tuesday morning depending on whether I’m in the mood for beer or coffee tomorrow. It could go either way.
In the meantime, here are a few things you might enjoy:
Apparently Belgian archaeologists who were digging around in a Roman bath uncovered a “huge, exquisitely-carved statue of the Roman emperor Hadrian last week. Though Wikipedians will always remember Hadrian as “one of the ‘five good emperors'” and the guy responsible for Hadrian’s wall, Hadrian’s gate, and (you guessed it) Hadrian’s Villa, OGs will always remember, um, her, as the power-hungry woman who went too far/was misunderstood by all.
Those of us who suck and didn’t make Comicon — that’s right, you know who you we are — missed out on a Futurama 2008 trailer. Thankfully Gizmodo was there to rub it in our faces let us in on the action. One day GWC will have a travel budget, and after we visit the Philly Crue (assume there are dots there — I’m way too lazy to look up the code) we’ll get to see great stuff like this.
Comicon Part Deux: The debate is officially over. He’s small “e” evil. Now if Flickr could just end the ship debate for us…
And in case you were wondering, the Dallas meetup was a blast. In fact, we’re talking about doing it again sometime next month. Enjoy, and we’ll see you tomorrow night. Or Tuesday morning.
And sadly, the whole GWC site is in bad need of some renovation. It looks like complete monkey ass in Safari on the Mac. I know because I bought a MacBook a few months back and now I can see how bad it looks. FWIW, it also looks a little fraked up in Firefox (Mac), Firefox (PC), and now even IE7 (because they jacked with the CSS positioning issues in the latest release).
Aww, no podcast to listen to today. However, in other BSG news, Bear McCreary updated his blog: http://www.bearmccreary.com/. The new soundtrack will be out in October.
I’m impressed too, Gray. GMDB is an awesome nickname. Timbuck and I try to stump the other all the time with movie trivia. At least we try – I’m better at it than he is. 😉
Sorry I can’t make the meetups (living in LA and all—still have yet to see any Galacatica cast at my local Borders tho..damn). One questions – does anyone out there know when the saeson 3 DVD is due out? I’ve been looking online and bugging Suncoast folks for awhiel now. Just wondering if anyone else knew….
Dave – both Amazon and Netflix show “unknown” on the Season 3 DVD release. We were all thinking late August (based on a comment by Bear McCreary a long time ago), but my guess is that the powers that be will delay the release until late October – so people can do another rewatch before Razor premieres in November.
I have to agree with the Alpaca Herder on that creepy pic – I sincerely hope he didn’t offer the crowd “two tickets to the gun show” before striking that pose.
I am very proud to be the new owner of a GWC nickname and only hope I can prove worthy of the title. It turns out I am pretty hopelessly fantastic at movie trivia, despite wishing that said talent would extend itself to other areas where instant recall is concerned.
But Timbuck and Fair Melissa: I’d be honored to be questioned by you at any time!
Gray-dont be too proud of the intellectual terror youve constructed. Your powers are insignificant next to the power of the Force! Or my ego!
No cheating anyone! What is the “name”/callsign/designation of the Stormtrooper (in Star Wars 1977) that the Imperial officer sends on board the Falcon to see what happened to the other troopers?
If you get that without delay I will dub you Queen of all Movie Trivia and I guess that just makes FMelissa a “Princess”. That, and an honorary member of the Philly Crue!
Damn, I just watched that the other day…. Stormtroopers don’t have names, right? They have numbers (just like Cylons). I bet that the numbers start with a THX (a nod to GL’s original short film THX-1138). It’s not THX-1138, is it? Nah, that would be too obvious. Craaaaaaap! Now I have to watch the movie again (oh, like that will kill me).

Gray – I can vouch for the size of Tim’s ego (having known him since we were 17) – you can’t stop it, you can only hope to contain it.
1) I’ll give you a pass on the “size of” reference you didnt make : )
2) Gray: She’s right. My ego is just shy of being bigger that TFMelissa’s. It’s what makes the spark in our relationship.

That is a very disturbing, very creepy picture of James Callis.
The links above are not showing up well in Safari. Could some extra underlining be added perhaps?
I look forward to the podcast whenever it finally shows up! 🙂
Alpaca:
I thought he looks happy.

Relax, though. It looks fine in IE6. Really.
Huh.
OK, I need to reup on CSS so I can make some constructive criticisms.
Dang it! You’re making me work!
It’s all good dude. If we can wait almost a year for season 4 , we can wait one day for the cast.
Wish I had been there for the Dallas Meet-Up. Sounded cool. Is Gray single? I’m impressed w that kind of movie knowledge. Ask the Fair Melissa…

Thanks – looking forward to the podcast

Poor Hadrian. If she had just worn makeup…….
And Chuck – monkey ass? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

(and yes, I am bored at work today).
Oh man!

GMDB does have a pretty badass ring to it, huh?
I am happy that you will be doing the podcast, even if it is late. I look forward to it every week. I always appreciate your efforts in the podcast.
Armando is a Star Wars trivia master as well – God help us if we all did get together!
I’m pretty sure we would be poised to take over the world. Such knowledge cannot be contained, after all.
Yeah–heard the McCreary comment toom was kinda hopin for something sooner – ah well
Thanks Fair Melissa 😉
