Money-Saving Locales

From the New York Times (soul stealing registration required, or use BugMeNot.com):

Shot on budgets ranging from $1 million to $2 million, Sci Fi’s movies are made in money-saving locales like Bulgaria, Romania and Missouri.

It’s nice to know Missouri is in the same league as Bulgaria and Romania. 🙂

A really geeky joke

(printed by fortune in one of my terminal windows today)

The ark lands after The Flood. Noah lets all the animals out. Says he, “Go and multiply.” Several months pass. Noah decides to check up on the animals. All are doing fine except a pair of snakes. “What’s the problem?” says Noah. “Cut down some trees and let us live there”, say the snakes. Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass. Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, “Want to tell me how the trees helped?” “Certainly”, say the snakes. “We’re adders, and we need logs to multiply.”

Clonus: The Island Horror

I’m not the only one to notice the similarity between The Island (2005) and The Clonus Horror (1979).

Today (1 July 2005), someone posted this comment to my original post regarding The Island. The author of this comment may or may not be Robert S. Fiveson, director of The Clonus Horror.

Then I was right. Job has all his children killed, and Michael Bay gets to keep making movies. There isn’t a God.

Peking Homunculus

(from the random thoughts on a Friday afternoon dept.)

Anyone else think Peking Homunculus (or perhaps Peking Homunculi) would be a great name for a band?
