My Lensography
Welcome to my central lens- my Nexus. This lens focuses on science fiction, fantasy, games, and the science fiction community. It is a jump-off point for my other pages, lenses, and blogs. It's a little about me and a little about what I like.
Science Fiction and Fantasy
My nerd powers.
Part of my science fiction and fantasy interests are table-top role playing games. Although I don't have any time left to play now-a-days, I still have my original box set of Star Frontiers and some old AD&D manuals floating around. I also used to play LARPs before they had a name for it. Good times...
For a few years I enjoyed play-by-email (PBeM) Star Trek games. I even ran a dedicated search engine for PBeM's, the Star Trek PBeM Starship Registry.

I remember when getting good anime was next to impossible and getting mangas was impossible. Not anymore, thank goodness.I've been fan of several anime and manga titles for years so putting together some lenses on the subject seemed natural.

Rock
I love my rock 'n roll.

Movies
Upcoming Movies
I do love a good movie. But what I love even more is tracking a movie as it develops over time. The changes, squabbles with the actors, directors jumping off and writers jumping in. It's a mini-drama that makes me wonder: How does any movie get made?I make lenses on pre-production movies and then follow them to release. For example:
-
Ghostbusters 3 (2012)

News, articles, and updates about the pre-pre-production of the Ghostbusters III movie. Currently, a Ghostbusters sequel is in the writing stage. Spearheaded by Dan Aykroyd and being written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, filming may start in...
