Fringe To Return for a Proper Sendoff in its 5th Season

May 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Fringe’s Twitter revival campaign appears to have worked, and Fox has ordered a 13 episode Fifth season to air this fall. This might be an abbreviated last kick at the can, but I believe every show should get a chance end off properly. After all, television is an art, not an industrial process. There are some anime shows that only lasted for 1 season that are still kicking out spin-offs and trading figures, and I think they can all owe that solid legacy to a tight ending and fewer filler episodes.

Reviews on the Run.

Stargate SG-1 composer Joel Goldsmith Passes Away at 54

May 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Stargate fans everywhere are in mourning as Joel Goldsmith, composer of over 300 Stargate episodes and 3 DVD films passed away last Sunday at age 54. Goldsmith had adapted David Arnold’s theme from the Stargate movie for the TV series in 1997. Since then his music has been responsible for much of the sense of epic struggle between good and evil featured throughout the Stargate Franchise. Gateworld’s Twitter feed has been reposting memories and sentiments from fans, cast and crew of Joel Goldsmith and his work.

Nathan Fillion in UPS Delivery Shorts!

May 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment


YVRshoots has given us a first look at Nathan Fillion as he appears playing the Greek god Hermes in Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters. Keeping true to the idea of Hermes as the God of messengers, Fillion’s character pops up in a fake UPS store wearing those iconic delivery boy shorts. The question is, does he wear the shorts to pass as mortal, or is he trying to demonstrate that he’s a god?

April 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Vancouver is getting its first Lego Store at Oakridge Mall this weekend, and it’s holding a grand opening celebration from May 4th to 6th to celebrate! There will be plenty of give-aways, and you can check out their various kits of say, Frank Lloyd Wright buildings…or you can build racing cars…I think they might have a few of those Lego friends kits…ah screw it. We’re all going for the Star Wars Lego, aren’t we? I thought so.

April 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Just as the final Creation Stargate convention was about to close the iris for good, an announcement from independent producer Darren Thomas could change everything. His company, Ordino Studios, which based out of Andorra, is collaborating with MGM on a Stargate SG-1 app for tablets and smartphones. According to the official Stargate Facebook page, there are more details to the announcement that will be revealed at the San Diego Comicon in July. This could mean anything from the whole series streaming over tablet apps to a full-blown 3D action game. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on this!

Vancouver hosts the last Stargate Creation Convention

April 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment

The final Stargate convention to be held by Creation Entertainment is to be held at the Metrotown Hilton this weekend. Guests include Christopher Judge, David Hewlett, and Joe Flanigan. This signifies the end of an era for Creation Conventions. For years, they were able to hold intimate convention experiences with many of the actors that worked in all 3 Stargate series. This by no means signifies the end of the Creation Convention experience in Vancouver, however. Creation Entertainment will return for a Supernatural TV series convention in August.

FanExpo Vancouver Gallery Part 2

April 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment


Cosplay photography is one of the great joys of conventions, and FanExpo was no exception. Still, I’m not a professional photographer, and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the one the best…equipment on hand. Fortunately, there are good people like Julio Chavez on hand to get the shots that I cannot! Head over to his website to see more of his great work!

The History of Vancouver in Comics

April 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Stevie Wilson over at Scout Magazine has posted a fascinating article about the history of Vancouver in Comics. Editorial Cartoons, Fanzines and the like are apparently a great resource for first-hand historical records. They are so good, in fact, that the UBC Library had a trial archive on their website up until March 16th. I’m rather miffed that I hadn’t heard about it until now, so write an e-mail to rare.books@ubc.ca and let the faculty there know that we want to see the history of Vancouver in comic book format.

Vancouver Film School Showcases Game Design Final Projects

April 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

A litany of all-nighters, coffee-IV drips, and top ramen diets has paid off for the students of Vancouver Film School’s Game Design Program. The student body has released their final projects to the public and a panel of industry professionals that just might give them their first jobs. The first of these is Terra, a cel-shaded action platformer, then we have Otherside, a 3D Puzzle Action Platformer, Terminus Station, a harrowing trip through a cursed subway station, and There and Back, a 2D platformer that allows you to switch places with our shadow. All of these games are downloadable from the VFS Website, so head on down and take them for a spin!
