Caprica "Were Almost to midseason!"

I wanted to keep my Caprica talk to a minimum until the midseason break. But I just couldn't.

Caprica is the new SyFy series based in the Battlestar Galactica universe. Daniel Graystone created the Cylons and 58 years later our mechanical slaves nuked the colonies and started a saga that will last a lifetime. But I digress.

Caprica brings us the story of two families suffering the aftermath of a terrorist bombing on a train. The Graystones, a high class Caprican family that is drawn by money, and the Adamas a Tauron family living on Caprica that that is consumed by power. each family lost a daughter who now live in a virtual world as a life after death.

Caprica started out with one of the best (and wierdest) pilots ever seen. Ron Moore tells a great first chapter in an hour and a half that Kubrick would spend 3 to four hours telling. Fast paced , crazy, and aesthetically pleasing, Pilot gives newbies an opportunity to enter the Galactica universe for the first time and not be completely lost.

The episodes after that? Great, although not the best each episode keeps the story going and keeps us in that same fast paced world that we entered in.

I had my reservations when it was announced that Eric Stoltz would play showrunner Daniel Graystone but that worry was immediately taken away after I saw his first scene. I am torn between three characters as my favorite of the show. Zoe Graystone (Alessandra Torresani), Lacy Rand (Magda Apanowicz), or Tamara Adama (Genevieve Buechner). All three are immensely talented and it will take much more time until I find a favorite.

Overall the show get a 9.5 out of 10. Mainly because of a slow start after the pilot.

Hoping to make weekely updates now of each episode.

The Hard Part (1)

If I were to add my own 2 cents into what the hardest part (so far) of the movie production process is, it would be model making.

We entered day one of the model making process and the planning is hell. we have to create the school, the city and the ships. Sounds easy right? the problem being is that the models have to be big enough for a camera and detailed enough to look real enough. So far the models are just paper drawings but in a couple of weeks the school and part of the ship may be finished.

blah.

Half Life Movie now in the works

So, I just recieved my screenplay for the Half Life movie back with a nice accepted letter on the cover (too bad it's not a stamp. So that means I have until July to get filming and post production finished. Then have it sent off to Seattle Washington. THe good thing is that in August we get to travel to the awards to see who won.

I heard there is an interesting Zelda movie that is going to be in the contest.

Out!

Returning with Ruminations

Today I did my usual foraging through the reliable news sources (Google News, Pitch Blog, The Onion) to find an interesting story. Low and behold I found something interesting.

"Campaign finance reports from Maine show that a Kansas Catholic organization headed by Kansas City, Kansas, Archbishop Joseph Naumann was among the largest private contributors to repealing gay marriage in Maine."-The Pitch Blog

Now the thing that I ask is What happened to Seperation of Church and State? And when things like this happen why are we not taxing the churches. When you decide to send money help politics then you should be helping in ALL aspects. 

Now before I continue I want to make clear that this is not my Atheism speaking but me putting my ideals aside to bring an argument.

It was released that Naumann gave $10K to the Maine anti same sex marriage front.

To my Catholic readers out there I want you to reply to this question. Is it right for Church organizations to donate huge amounts of money to political organizations while being Tax exempt?

Torri Higginson Celebrates her birthday!

She was born in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, and is most well-known for her roles in the TekWar movies and series, The English Patient and Stargate Atlantis. She is also a theater actress and has appeared in Three Tall Women, Weldon Rising and Picasso at the Lapin Agile.

Higginson took over the role of Dr. Elizabeth Weir from Jessica Steen in a guest spot on the season eight opener of Stargate SG-1. She was then carried over as the leader of the Atlantis expedition on Stargate Atlantis and continued playing that role through the show's fourth season, though reduced from a main cast member to a recurring role in the fourth season. She did not reprise the role for the show's fifth season.

Higginson was once linked romantically to Paul Raven of the band Killing Joke and also (at a different time) to John Kastner of the Canadian rock band Doughboys. Her younger brother Luke is lead singer of the Toronto band Debaser.

In 1995, two years prior to Stargate SG-1's premiere, Higginson starred in the 1995 movie Jungleground with three other actors from the Stargate franchise: Peter Williams (Apophis), JR Bourne (Martouf), and Lexa Doig (Dr. Lam).

Happy Stargate Day to everyone

Celebrate Stargate's birthday today by watching the movies and your favorite episodes!

If i ever become president then i should make this a national holiday.
