Amanda Tapping

A Sanctuary Interview

GateWorld conducted it's 100th interview and the subject of it was Sanctuary. They talked with Amanda Tapping; executive producer and lead actress in the fantastic series Sanctuary. A show about the supernatural. The interview runs about 30 minutes. 

The interview:

I am so stoked it got renewed for a second season as I have it in my top 10 tv-series of all times. The series was born on the internet in the form of a web show and got picked up by The Sci-Fi Channel and got reworked abit and now is in pre-production (they are shooting it as I write) for season 2. I'm looking forward to it.

Important Special Comment

On the subject of the torture that has happen in the pursuit of justice for 9/11. I have been following this for quite a while but mostly silently. I have been disgusted by the Bush goverment for letting(or making) it happen. Now I'd like to see them be held responsible for it.

This sums it all up

President Barack Obama, You need to avoid this from happening ever again by holding the culprits accountable. And that I feel should include the men and women that followed the orders to torture. Following orders does not hold water as a defense for them. Remember so did german soldiers during WW2 and what happened? Remember the past and learn from it. Or history is doomed to repeat itself.
America should be better than this.

Stargate Universe

The First Teaser

The third series in the Stargate franchise is set to start airing this fall and here are the first few glimpses from it!

I'm psyched now!

I'm a die-hard Stargate fan and while I'm sad the other two has ended this third installment has me yet again excited for Stargate. And there are a third SG-1 movie in development and a SGA movie too. So the future is looking good for us the stargate fans :-)

And the MMO Stargate Worlds is also in development and while I'm kinda done with MMO's I might return to it if it's great (as it has to be to shell out for a monthly subscription to play)

Tonari No Totoro

A review

A.K.A My Neighbor Totoro.

Creator: Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli

Rated E for everyone , production year 1988, cinematic release in Norway 30th march 2007. Watched in japanese with Norwegian subtitles.

So I watched this for the first time ever this wednesday evening. I'd had a crappy prank pulled on me at the end of my work shift and was rather miffed and not really in the best of moods. So I needed something to take my mind off things. 

Oh my lord! Did it ever!

Okey short plot summary first.

It's about a four year old girl called Mei and her big sister Satsuki, they are moving to this old house in the forest with their father while their mother is in hospital for unknown reasons. And then little Mei meets the forest guarding/spirit Totoro and an adventure unfolds. I'm not going any further as I want everyone to watch this movie.

I was so taken with the art style and the artistic workmanship that had gone into the movie and the story is just great. A gem, a treasure really. I've watched quite a few movies out of Studio Ghibli and mr. Miyazaki has been involved in all of them in one way or the oher and that studio has become one of my favourite outlets for anime. Art and storytelling meeting in an animated medium. Quality.

I felt a level of happiness watching this that I rarely do. The movie simply was a joy to watch. I highly recommend it to anyone. I went to bed feeling all warm and fuzzy all over and inside.  Yes this all sound really corny and silly don't it? Well I don't care! I was made truly happy by this movie and it's like a bunch of puppies and kittens kind of good. You know? Oh and I want a cat bus too!! 

My highest recommendations.

Watch it, you will thank me later
