Joss Whedon and Brian K. Vaughan Talk Buffy

This headline is exactly the same as the headline on the article I’m linking to. You’d think I would’ve tried to come up with a different, new headline. You thought wrong.

It’s basically just Whedon (the Buffy guy) and Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, etc., who’s now writing for Lost, and doing an arc of the Buffy comics) talking about how …

The iPod Touch: Now Entirely Phone-Free!

It’s a timeless arc. We’ve seen it play out 100 times. (Is that about right? 100? How many keynotes has Jobs given?) Some solid incremental updates — stubby new Nanos, with hard drives, new colors, video…ooo, ringtones, that’s a no-brainer…

The Tron Guy Is Getting Back in the Game

Steven Lisberger, who directed Tron, has another movie in the works. The bad news: it’s not a Tron sequel. The good news: it’s not a sequel to Animalympics either.

It’s …

Given foreign sales and DVD it’ll probably make some money, so I guess it’s unfair to say that it tanked. But I never thought that after three weeks it’d be down there at #8, with Mr. Bean’s Holiday taunting it …

They Won’t Be Giving You the Time of Day

Fascinating article in the LA Times — via Slashdot — about the discontinuation of AT&T’s dial-the-time service. Apparently it dawned on somebody that it’s now completely useless, since clocks are sprinkled into every imaginable gadget now like some kind of inexpensive digital condiment. But the original telephone-time-telling …
