In my meanderings around the web this past week, I came upon a page on IMDB called “Most Popular People Born in 1960.” What I found interesting was how many of these actors, turning 50 this year, have been in genre films. So I thought I’d share the top 13 genre-connected ones with you here:
NOTE: [...]
Will I. Am (John Wraith/Kestrel), Lynn Collins (Kayla Silverfox), Hugh Jackman (Logan/Wolverine), Ryan Reynolds (Wade Wilson/Weapon XI) and Liev Schreiber (Victor Creed/Sabertooth) at the Tempe, Ariz., premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
My husband and I were watching the extras on the Blu-Ray edition of X-Men Origins: Wolverine the other night and I learned something that really [...]

An amphibious shark, strangler fig trees and blood red remora … oh my! That’s what Ppeekk (pronounced “Peekie”) has to contend with after she moves to Florida and meets Dead Fred.
Dead Fred, a small and crispy fish, isn’t really dead … but he is on his way … [...]
It is a dream of mine that The Genre Traveler be a TV show … maybe something like Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations … only focused on genre locations. I’ve been dreaming a lot about it lately and I thought, what if someone came to me and said, “O.K. We want to make this happen and [...]
The next Albany-Colonie SFF Extravaganza, a “quarterly” convention for science-fiction and fantasy collectors, is scheduled for Sunday, March 21, 2010.

I’ve been sitting on this review for a couple of weeks because I’m completely torn … and somewhat confused … about what to say about Ronald Neal Green’s novel The Duty of Love.
I received a copy of the book specifically for review and it was billed as being part Stephen King and part J.R.R. Tolkien, [...]
I just found this short post and image gallery of what was planned for the Marvel Comics based theme park in Dubai. As the post states, the park may never come to be … but the concept art is pretty darn cool.

A new science fiction and fantasy literary convention will debut in downtown Toronto Nov. 19-21, 2010, at the Ramada Plaza Hotel. Called SFContario, it already has some spiffy confirmed guests of honour:
Michael Swanwick, 1991 Nebula Award winner for best novel: Stations of the Tide
Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Editors for Tor Books

Last night I finished reading Servant of a Dark God, the debut novel by John Brown, which is also the first book in a new fantasy series. I received this new Tor book free as a review copy … but this review is totally my honest opinion.
What would you do if in the course of [...]
Tim Burton’s dark imagination is now on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). It opened this past weekend and is scheduled to run through April 26, 2010.
“Mr. Burton’s extraordinary genius is evident on all that he creates,” Syfy President Dave Howe said in a statement, “and his unique vision and perspective [...]
