For all my fellow Dwarfers...

Courtesey of the ever-wonderful SFX:

"After much ado, many false starts, optomistic announcements and financial wranglings, the Red Dwarf movie is finally going to be made. Probably.
SFX dropped producer Charles Armitage, of Noel Grey Films, a line to see what the current state of play is. 'Just doing budget and location work,' he replied. 'Subject to that and and main cast availablity, it looks like a summer shoot.'"

RED DWARF IS NOT DEAD YET! OH NO!

The brief article doesn't finish on a very positive note, mentioning that the film may go stright to video, but it also admits this is just a rumour so there's no facts backing that up. I can't see *why* they'd make it straight to video - they'd make more money in the cinema.

So there is yet hope, although if it's a summer shoot the film probably won't appear till late 2004, early 2005. Still, Red Dwarf is worth the wait!

If none of you buy SFX and they sell it near you (I think it's a British thing, sorry) then it's definitely worth it for all Sci-Fi, Fantasy or just movie fans out there. Interview with James Marsters (again!) this month with BBIIGG pictures. *drools* Plus X-Men 2 and all that. Very fun. I swear I'm not being paid to say this. ^_~

I'd just like to add..

... I'm extremely f**ked off with Elfwood. After all the shit I've been through, the bloody Inqusition, and everything else, they've now accused me of not giving my real name. I've given this site EVERYTHING including my address which I NEVER give out to *anything* online, and now they've accused me of this. I'm a milimetre away before saying "fuck you" and giving up.

Unless you REALLY REALLY want to be part of Elfwood, I wouldn't recommend joining. It isn't worth the hassle.

*kicks Elfwood*

I saw Razer! And I got a signed poster! *giggles* I've been a Robot Wars fan for years (and NOT just because of Craig Charles!) so when I read that Razer was here for the big Science fair in the university near me I thought "Hey, I'll go and have a nose," and it was good! Said hi to all the team, and watched one of them actually *stand* on the arm when it was down then the arm lifted him right up as if he wasn't even standing on it! And me and Christine were like "wow!" Razer's a lot bigger than he looks on tv too, it was very cool. *grins* Signed poster! *bounces* I'm currently trying to find a good picture of the Razer logo to make an icon with it, but I can't find one. Ah well, I will. Me and Christine were discussing building a robot sometime after we'd been to uni - me and Lucy could design it, we'd get Jamie + Dee to do all the electronics and Christine do all the chemically stuff then me and Lucy would paint the finished thing or whatever. *giggles* But I forsee us all having a huge argument over what to call it. Me and Christine want 'Paragon' or 'Carnage' but we'd never agree with every one else. But if you turn on the tv in a few years time and see a robot called Paragon rampaging on Robot Wars then wave to us on the screen ok? ^_~

*points at icon* I'm not sure why people are suddenly bashing Sean Astin all of a sudden but he's too lovely not to support so I am. *nods* Go Sean!

Finished the first two Red Dwarf books, "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" and "Better Than Life". I want "Backwards" now. The books are fantastic, better than the tv series, although I think I'm enjoying them more possibly because I've seen the TV series beforehand. then again, maybe I wouldn't know what was going to happen so much if I hadn't seen them on TV first. But good, either way.

I'm now off to finish watching the commentary on 'A Knight's Tale' and possibly Lilo and Stitch again. Or maybe I'll look for some slash first. Decisions, decisions....

Toodles!
