Who is planning to hear Frost speak during one of the events? Hoping to see him October 20th if possible. Me, me! October 20th, also. Now that you mention it, I went back to the Union Square B&N to get a second opinion from a different employee about the procedure for getting in, and confirmed ...

Has there ever been an Original Generation vs. Late Adopter poll? Would be curious to see that, too.

OK, I must be super-dim. I don't even see how to respond. I just see the results graph at the top of the page.

I shudder at the mention of something called a "hipster bar" :) Ha! It's a fun place, actually - Videology in the Williamsburg neighborhood, the hipster capital of America. It's a bar and a video shop - last I was there, it was still lined with bookcases full of DVDs and BDs and even some...

Good point about Ciby-2000. I suppose it's a mark of just how far his star had fallen by the mid-nineties that he couldn't get anything else off the ground even with them and was able to successfully she them for (I think) breach of contract. I'd never heard about this lawsuit before! Googled it af...

Eraserhead was hugely profitable - the budget was a shoestring, so $7 million at the time was a blockbuster by such standards. I read somewhere very recently (probably Dennis Lim's book, which I just read) that it made 70 times its budget over the few years after release, during which (as I'm sure ...

he changed references to Ponderosa Pines (eastern Wa.) to Douglas Firs (western Wa.) Ha, never was aware of this - I presume you get this from a comparison with the Northwest Passage script available online. I've read only a bit of it. I find it kind of delightful that his father's professional spe...

Good points from Rudagger about the expense of shows being a factor. I hadn't really thought about that. If I recall correctly now, the original TP was pretty expensive and I'm sure that was another factor in its axing. (And to veer off topic for a moment, I think the cancellation of Deadwood was mo...

Those intrigued by the Lewis and Clark material may be interested to know that there's currently a comic book from Image Comics called Manifest Destiny that presents an alternate history, fantasy/horror version of their expedition where President Jackson secretly sent them to investigate weird creat...

Ross wrote:... we've heard there is very minimal material post-series. But we shall see!

But have we really heard that? My sense is that all we've got is rumors claiming that, and rumors claiming the opposite.

But as you say, we'll find out soon enough!

Everyone above makes good points, but another thing to keep in mind as far as the practical, business side of this question: the business model of a premium cable channel is very different from that of a broadcast network. The audience for the former is much smaller, and notably more affluent and ed...

Weird. Amazon page still says 10/18, as does the Flatiron Books landing page. I suspect an error of some sort.

And wow - Len Cariou is a reader! For those who don't know, he's a legendary theater actor, especially musical theater, who originated the title role of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd - the greatest musical ever, in my and some others' opinion. He's been on TV on Blue Bloods recently, and in the mo...

i would only be disappointed if twin peaks gave me exactly what i wanted or expected. A-bleepin'-men. This puts my hopes for the upcoming season in a nutshell. I'm not as invested in getting answers or finding out what happened to specific characters as a lot of fans seem to be (though I'm looking ...

No, they're in alphabetical order by the names of the pets.
