You can now buy Serenit and Firefly T-Shirts from Hot Topic (which I understand is a big store chain in the U.S.). Figured someone would like to know.

@collex: Oh, Hot Topic. Bringing faux goth culture to the malls of the Heartland since 1995

@MrGOH: That bad? There's no Hot Topic in the barren northen wastes where I make my home, so I can't know. But hey, I guess injecting a little bit of sci-fi goodness in this wretched hive of vilainy is a good thing, right?

@collex: I dunno if it's necesarily bad. I suppose if they have cool T-Shirts, then they have cool T-shirts, you know? But Hot Topic was where the rebellious teams from my small Midwestern hometown would get their cheap, outrageously colored hair dyes. Lots of what passed for anti-establishment teenage rebellion found an outlet in Hot Topic products. Which was, as I said before, in a mall.

I guess I was just reminiscing about the 90's. Maybe Hot Topic is now more pan-geek than faux goth.

@collex: It's actually not unusual to see geek-stuff trickle in. Back in the day, mixed with various 'RAWK' t-shirts were video game tees of various kinds. The old 'Zelda hearts' shirt, the konami code, stuff like that.

GOH pretty much nails it though. It sort of hit the nerve of 'Goth' culture at the time and so you'd inevitably see it swarming with 'rebellious' teenagers dropped off by their mothers in minivans. Pretty amusing.

@MrGOH: It's still the faux-Goth teen heaven it's always been. Back in my freshman year of high school, I used to buy most of my clothes there. The clothes there are incredibly expensive, badly made, and of course, stupid. I rarely talk about those days... oh the horror!

@MrGOH: They're not even goths. Goths are depressed, though mostly amiable, folks.

What spawns in Hot Topic are mallrats who fashion themselves as hardcore punks, yet of course Hot Topic is filled with signs telling kids its not cool to steal.

@n3onkn1ght: Really? It was certainly the goth-y end of the teenage rebellion clique spectrum who sopped at Hot Topic in the days of my youth. I suppose anyone who wanted to buy hair dyes with brand names like Manic Panic could have found stuff at Hot Topic easily. And in the pupa stage it can be quite difficult to tell a goth from a punk...

@thecortexiphansession: I bought a T-shirt there once. Also a badly-bound book on marijuana culture (it was putatively a weed encyclopedia, IIRC) and later some gag gift cheap-ass goth jewelry for a gf who went as Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice for Holloween in college.

Here's a few more Doctor Who and Sarah Jane Adventures spoilers for Monday.

First up, a very brief teaser for the upcoming season of SJA, featuring some brightly colored robots, vulture people, and the 11th Doctor.

Secondly, Mark Gatiss has confirmed via Twitter that he has just submitted the final draft for one of next season's episodes of Doctor Who. (Most likely episode 4, since we know Richard Clark is directing)

Regardless of how you feel about this news, this does seem to confirm that Neil Gaiman's script is definitely episode 3, and the one that will begin filming next week at Dyrham Park.

In other news -- According to SFX, the Doctor Who Live stage show which begins touring this October, will feature Nigel Planer (yes, Neil from The Young Ones) playing a brand new Doctor Who character called Vorgenson, who is able to conjure up foes of the Doctor.

While the Doctor will only appear via pre-filmed inserts, the plot apparently takes it's inspiration from the 3rd Doctor story Carnival Of Monsters which featured a similarly named character called Vorg, who was an intergalactic traveling showman kept miniaturized groups of creatures stored inside a kind of electronic zoo called a Miniscope.

Here's hoping the Drashigs don't make a surprise appearance any time soon.

@bluehinter: Oh, and Digital Spy claims to have confirmation from an unnamed source that Karen Gillan is leaving at the end of the mid-season break, but I'd take that with a grain of salt.

(we'll know soon enough once they start filming those episodes in about 10 weeks time)

A Light in the Darkness

I've never heard anything about this, but it's a Star Wars fan film. Fairly well made as it's less about flashy lightsaber combat and more about some backwater mining town and their struggle against the Empire.

The voiceover in the beginning is kind of cheesy, but overall well done. This is part 1 of 2.

The coolest thing you'll see today

I think I posted the previous version of this, but I guess this is his final draft. This guy put together a bunch of movie trailers and cut them to Glitch Mob remixes. It's like a super trailer!

I recommend watching in HD and turning your sound way up.

@omgwtflolbbqbye: Yeah the quote is "It is not intended to tell a story. I didnt edit it that way. I wanted to relate sound to motion. So each and every cut you see was picked for a reason."

Which is fine, it's more a greatest hits kind of mix than anything.

@EdificeComplex: Too bad they don't have a higher resolution.

Pretty amazing we went 6 entire films before someone thought to develop a costume the actor could turn their neck in.

Also I hope that one day someone will try to develop a proper movie bat-cowl that has white or opaque eye lenses (the sonar lens in TDK don't count).

I know that people say that they take it out cause it doesn't allow the actor to emote as well, but... that's sort of the point... Batman is supposed to look inhuman and frighting!

Also it's kind of distracting cause since Batman (1989) I've always realized in the back of my mind that the cinematic Batman is wearing raccoon eye make up.

I wonder if Alfred is does it for him...

@EdificeComplex: I hate to admit it, but if it weren't for the nipples, the normal Clooney armor isn't that bad. And the maker of this poster must have chosen a nipple-hidden picture on purpose.

I think the ideal would be combination of many. I like the defined look of the Burton one but I prefer a more low-key logo like Begins.

@EdificeComplex: Bat symbols on the knees? Really? It seems every few months I find a new reason I'm happy I never saw Batman and Robin. Since it came out - what 15 years ago? That's pretty epic fail.

I can't believe the 40s Batman producers couldn't find better solution to the cowl's ears. Low budget serials they may have been, but that's really lazy costuming.

A bit of shameless promotion for all of you who can't get enough of Star Wars:

My brother has been writing about 'Life Lessons Learned from 'The Empire Strikes Back' since June.

So far, he's got about 10 up so far.

Pretty interesting to see what he remembered from the movie as an impressionable 9-year old!

~

(7:17 long)

Tomorrow When The War Began came out yesterday (for Australia and New Zealand, time zones and whatnot).

ABC News(Aussie, not American) covered it in great detail, including Director (and cast) interviewed.

He says if successful, this'll be A TRILOGY.
(Six books, but he wants to keep it smaller to both make the films meatier in goodness and to limit the wankery (see: Lucas, George).

The equation seems to be two books per movie, roughly.

And scoff at the "low" budget if you like (AUD$20 Million), but this for us is a big deal. America has I.Ps coming from all orifices, while Australia has few (some nicked to Hollywood - see: Crocodile Dundee, Mad Max), and even less money to pull them off.
(Why do you think you see so many of our movies set in modern day Australia?)

Ripped the video for my YouTube clip from [www.abc.net.au] - only because the video can be shared on social networks and you'd be giving them free publicity too.

@Doctor Insano: Also just found this!

"Margaret and David at the Movies" are the counterpart for Siskel and Ebert (or whoever the guy is who replaced the late critic - Roeper?).

This review and Director interview sees them cover the movie, then interview Stuart Beattie himself.

Red Dawn [1986] gets an appropriate name drop too!

And the score? (Spoilers...)

3.5/5 from both!
