Apologies to those tuning in for Cookie Monster's review of the movie Steel, part of our ongoing Supermovie of the Week Club discussions. Unfortunately, he called in sick this week. It may have been the movie, but given the fact that I snapped him partying in the streets of San Diego during the Comic Con…
July 15, 2012: Dark Matter at Comic Con!
I'm pleased to report that the Dark Matter signing was a rousing success. I actually made it to the booth on time, people actually showed up, and nobody standing in line stepped up to my counter to order a milkshake and fries. I met some great fans, chatted Stargate and Dark Matter, signed a few comic…
July 14, 2012: Comic Con Day #2!
"I've never seen so much drunk zombies." - Akemi walking home after drinks at the Hilton last night. Well, not really Comic Con Day #2. Actually, the second half of Day #1 and part of Day #2 as the festivities are ongoing. Today = my Dark Matter signing. Where: The Dark Horse Booth (#2615) When: 4:00…
July 13, 2012: Comic Con!
Whenever I travel, the excitement of the upcoming trip is always somewhat muted by the fact that I'll be leaving my dogs behind. I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that the dogs KNOW we're leaving and get downright depressed. Bubba paces, Lulu tries to squeeze in as much play time…

Qu'est ce que c'est? Why, it's the Stargate: Atlantis ultimate box set. It includes the entire series PLUS a bonus disc with all new extras. I'll be giving it away to some lucky, random individual who comes to visit me between 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. this Saturday at the Dark Horse Comics booth (#2615). Whether…
July 10, 2012: Ouch! 3 Days to Comic Con! Dogs enjoying the Summer! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Inferno!
I hit play on the DVD and, as a fifth season episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia started up, I took a seat and tested the dumbbells. It was my triceps day so I figured I'd start with flat bench extensions, move on to overhead extensions, then to close grip press, and finish up…
July 9, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club Reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Spawn!
Ever have it when you need to write skript for movie, but tings are going slow so you invite Count and Big Bird to your place for drinks but you do too many jagermeister shots and one of girlz Count bring wit him slip roofie into your beer chaser and you wake up next morning…

Heading to Comic Con in a little less than a week to do a signing for my comic book, Dark Matter, and I thought it would be nice to offer those who swing by a shot at winning some cool giveaways. In addition to copies of Dark Matter's first issue, I'll also be offering up a…
July 7, 2012: 7 Days to Comic Con! A Stargate Reunion – of sorts! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Coup D’Etat!
So, I'm prepping for Comic Con, selecting giveaway items for the fans who will visit my booth - accidentally assuming it's a Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-related signing only to discover the truth to late! The gate will be shut and locked behind them for the duration of my hour long meandering reminiscences of all the places…

July 5, 2012: Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! The Tower! And Dogs Eating Ice Cream!
THE TOWER (215) In first season or so on the Stargate franchise, my writing partner and I co-wrote scripts in the truest sense of the term. We actually sat (or paced) in an office, bouncing ideas and dialogue off each other, hammering out every scene and every line in the script. Eventually, we found it…
July 4, 2012: News of Note! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Grace Under Pressure!
News of note: Save Lennox: Time Runs Out For 'Death Row' Dog In Belfast (PICTURES, VIDEO). From heartless to heartless AND spiteful. Belfast Council has even ignored offers to " to pay the expenses to relocate Lennox from Northern Ireland and bring him to the US to a sanctuary and freedom". Shame on Belfast City Council.…
July 3, 2012: My Canada Day Weekend (or lack thereof)! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Critical Mass!
I celebrated Canada Day in typical fashion: rewriting a script and then taking a break to attend some food-related event. We received the last batch of notes on our script for the miniseries early Saturday morning and, since my writing partner, Paul, was (conveniently) out of town and without computer access, it fell on me…
July 2, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club Reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Batman and Robin!
Batmand and Robin be de filmic equivalent of explosive garden vegetable diarrhea. Exciting, sometime pretty to look at, but it still crap. Dis movie be Joel Schumacher's master piece (of shit). Terruble on almost every level. Movie begin wit Schumacher's patented codpiece and rubber ass shots. It den seque into one of de worst aktion…
