Just not as "ultimate" as I was expecting

Well, I was in full geek-mode this morning as I bought my third version of Serenity - this time it was the 2-disc Ultimate Edition. Mind you, that turned not to be quite so "ultimate" - the only new extras I can see are Session 416 (the River Tam Sessions) and Sci-Fi Inside: Serenity.

NO FRICKING FRAKKING CAST COMMENTARY!

Ultimate? Not so much, I'm thinking! Mind you, it was reduced to AUS$14.99 and it appears to be 4 days earlier than the official release date so I can't really complain.

Watchmen news - good and bad

The good first:
According to Empire's Gerard Butler interview, he will be voicing the main part in the animated Tales Of The Black Freighter which will be available as DVD extra when the movie gets released in that format. WOOHOO!

The bad next:
That must mean that Tales Of The Black Freighter isn't in the movie and, according to the same interview, "Although considered extraneous to the plot of the movie proper by Snyder .... Tales Of The Black Freighter is a story that deepens the impact of Watchmen's main plot, mirroring the arc of a character we won't reveal."

I guess the movie looked so good that I never even contemplated that Snyder could screw up some of the essential elements so deeply. Damn, I'm all worried for the movie again. Damn!

Warehouse 13 is back on the books?

From SyFy Portal, it looks like Warehouse 13 is ready to start - this was the project that Jane Espenson was working on, wasn't it? Do her BSG duties now prevent her from being involved? Any way, behind the cut is a description of the series' premise.

( Yup, this very cut, right here. )
