Upcoming Events

So what is Jae currently looking forward to in the world of entertainment and "culture" (this is me we're talking about it's hardly going to be high brow!).

Jurassic Park IV

I have not given up hope! Jurassic Park IV has been slated for production forever. I've been looking forward to it for years. Just get it made already! 2009... fingers crossed.

Hopefully they'll give it a new direction other than "Tour/expedition around dinosaur island goes wrong!". Jurassic Park III was entertaining but let's not have more of the same.

Check our JPLegacy for the in and outs of the last few years

Jeepers Creepers III: The Cathedral

Victor Salva, writer and director of the first two movies, has confirmed a third one is due for release next year. Set 23 years in the future (as per the timescales set out in the Creeper mythos) with an opening sequence set in the Wild West during another one of the Creepers feeding frenzies, this movie will see Gina Philips reprise her role from the first movie trying to stop her son suffering the same fate as her brother.

Basically Jeepers Creepers has always been good for cute guys, fun characters and quality scares and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Stephen King's The Stand (comics!)

There is no way I can express in words how much I love Stephen King, let alone The Stand. The Stand is the book I would class as being closest to "my perfect story". This is the story I spent years learning to read for. And now it's being adapted as a comic. I'm not going to second guess that decision, and just hope it provides a unique take on the story. I for one WILL BE BUYING THIS. Yes. I know... a Stephen King comic book... if it had a centrefold of Charles Dera naked it would complete my existence and I'd probably just disappear in a puff of smoke, perhaps leaving a slowly fading smile ala the Cheshire Cat.

Television

Only two series are on my "Must Not Miss" list: the second series of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the third series of Dexter both look... mmm... awesome.

On my radar...

Terminator Salvation - Terminator = Good (in my mind...)
X - Men Origins: Wolverine - I HATE Wolverine and feel that X - Men should be rebooted by Marvel and done properly after the X-Men: Last Stand atrocity. But if you think I'm not going to go watch it, then you're very much mistaken...
Plus of course... Star Trek and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen...

    OH MY GOD! As i was checking out Wikipedia, all excited/unnerved about the fact that if they wanted to do a whole length feature with Hugh Jackman [insert drool] this was what they should have done instead of making the last X-Men AND RUIN EVERYTHING (INCLUDING MY HOPE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WHY DON'T YOU?!), but then i saw that GAMBIT is going to be in it too!! aadslfkj d;'asd;kl
