Why Joss Whedon writes strong female characters
YouTube - Joss Whedon’s Equality Now speech
Equality Now gave Joss Whedon an award and his speech is predictably brilliant.

Must have!
Unaltered Star Wars Trilogy On DVD at Forever Geek
It is being reported that Lucasfilm will be releasing two-disc editions of the original Star Wars Trilogy. Each set will contain a copy of the 2004 “digitally remastered” version of the film, as well as the original theatrical release.
My only problem with the new version is Han shooting first said something about his character. Changing that changed him. Other than that, yes I am a geek.

No Rant, Just Wondering
Hollywood after the Anal. Hole again
Hollywood has fielded a shockingly ambitious piece of “Analog Hole” legislation while everyone was out partying in costume. Under a new proposed Analog Hole bill, it will be illegal to make anything capable of digitizing video unless it either has all its outputs approved by the Hollywood studios, or is closed-source, proprietary and tamper-resistant. The idea is to make it impossible to create an MPEG from a video signal unless Hollywood approves it.
This is like the Broadcast Flag on steroids. The Broadcast Flag only covered TV receivers. This covers everything with an analog video input. If this had been around in 1976, the VCR would have been illegal. Today, it would ban Mythtv, every tuner-card in the market, and boxes like ElGato’s eyeTV the Slingbox and the Orb and the vPod. This is a proposal to turn huge classes of technology into something that exists only at the sufferance of the studios.
Do these people really think that if they made breathing illegal people would stop doing it?

Batman Begins
The Batman Begins trailor is cool. It looks sortof like they’re scrapping all of the previous movies and starting from the beginning with a different, less cartoony, direction. Actually, it felt a little like “Tomb Raider.” I think the comic fans will be happier with this one than the others.
