“Who’s stupid enough to pay for something you can get for free on television?” Homer asks, and sets the self-ironic tone for the long, long awaited movie based on what Time magazine has labelled ’the best television show of the 20th century’.
The Ood, the subservient alien species turned bad in the Doctor Who two-part episode The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit are set to return in series four reports ITV.
The Ood were last seen plunging into a black hole but in the new series viewers will learn where they come from and discover whether the Doctor and his new companion Donna will befriend the creatures.
Writer and executive producer Russell T Davies has described the Ood as ‘the most brilliantly made monster in the world’, adding they look like ‘they’re permanently throwing up. It’s really disgusting‘.

According to NBC, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed in an interview with the Today Show which character received a reprieve in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was (highlight to read) > Arthur Weasley < !
Rowling also admitted that she ‘probably will’ write a Harry Potter encyclopedia. NBC reports: The encyclopedia would include back stories of characters she has already written but had to cut for the sake of narrative arc (“I’ve said before that Dean Thomas had a much more interesting history than ever appeared in the books”), as well as details about the characters who survive “Deathly Hallows,” characters who continue to live on in Rowling’s mind in a clearly defined magical world.

Just returned from the premiere screening of Beowulf in San Diego. It’s late but I promised that I’d report in….
Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary greeted a small theater filled to capacity and introduced each segment in turn - first, the trailer, then Reel Two of the film in its entirety, then a brief teaser trailer.
My impressions of what I saw:

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
