Geez. The SciFi Channel really is a steaming pile of Bantha pudu. They have 3 shows that are good, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and most of all – Battlestar Galactica. The rest of their programming is overly priced filler. Just about every week they have some new SciFi Pictures Original movie based on, 1) A killer animal of some kind, (remember all the killer mosquito movies like “Skeeter.”) 2) A killer storm of some kind, 3) A dude a sword and a dragon, or finally, 4) A killer animal stalking a dude with a sword in a killer storm. I honestly have a hard time not laughing out-loud everytime I see one of those “SciFi Pictures” commercials while watching Battlestar. They’re just terrible. It’s obvious that the people running SciFi Channel have no idea what a real SciFi fan wants to watch. I do have to give them just a smidge of credit though. Tthey do get it right one day a week, Friday. But that’s only a 14% success rate.

Disney Buys Pixar
As many of you know, Pixar – a company originally started by Lucasfilm (they created the “Pixar” computer for 3D animation) and then sold to Steve Jobs, has been responsible for the most successful computer animated feature films ever. (Finding Nemo, Toy Story, and The Incredibles just to name a few.) Sometime ago, Pixar announced that they would no longer be distributing their films through Disney and were going it alone. Since Disney no longer had the Pixar cash cow to depend on, they started developing their own CG animated features. (Chicken Little, which was pretty successful, but to the movie fan wasn’t on-par with Pixar’s films.)
On the 24th, Disney issued a press release that they were aquiring Pixar for $7.4 Billion, and that Pixar CEO, Steve Jobs will join the Disney Board of Directors.
