Welcome To Starfly's Planet
- Well, I started reading this webcomic on whim while looking through another web-comic's links. I then read the entire archives of this comic. It amused me. It will amuse you too...or else.
The Wikipedia - If you want to know something...look here. This is one of the most useful sites I've found. And if you know about it and can't find it here...you can add it!
I updated the LogBlog. Go look at it. I order thee.
And yes, the frame-ad on the right hand side is pissing me off too. I think its time to find myself a better host.

The Return of the Oscars
- Well, we here at Starfly's Planet wattched the Oscars on Sunday night (Timely with the news, aren't I?). As a big Lord of the Rings fan, I say "BOO YAH" to the 11 award sweep that Jackson and his band of unwashed miscreants came off with. I think its a real great thing for the Fantasy/Sci-fi Genre as a whole. I can't say how many times I've seen some artsy(crappy) film take away honors that belonged to better movies. But now an adventure of four little hobbits has the gold.
I can't say I enjoyed every pick of the Oscars. Sean Penn got a standing ovation? This is the same guy that was smacking himself with a shoe in Fast Time at Ridgemont High. Oy, I was rooting for Johnny Depp even if I don't think Pirates of the Carribean really was an "Academy Worthy" film.
My main fear coming off these awards is the probability that we're going to get bombarded by a sea of horrible, horrible fantasy films now. (And don't say that's not possible, anyone else see Dungeons and Dragons?) I mean, Spider-man cleaned up at the box office and then it was super-fest at the theartre. That's festival of spandex isn't even over yet. I just fear that a genre I love is going to be raped by Hollywood as so many other genres are. Maybe we'll at least get a few good films in the process at least.
Here's to hoping for the best.
