Yeah, the impression I got was that 'There and Back Again' would be more of a 'bridge' between The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings. They could certainly make use of the appendices from Return Of The King, though. The stuff set after the events of LOTR would of course sit rather awkwardly with The Hobbit, but the bits about Gandalf's backstory and the creation of the rings would work just fine. -
It's still early days I guess. There may indeed be more spacey stuff going on in the movie than the trailers seem to suggest, but at the moment I'm getting the impression that they're more like a team of superheroes than explorers. Either way though, I won't be lodging any complaints. Benedict as the villain should be worth the price of admission alone.

Special 50th anniversary Doctor Who stamps have been released in the UK, I'll be keeping an eye out for them.

Maybe I've been on staff too long, but all I can think about is the potential for a function like that to be abused. Continuity is so vitally important on a forum like ours and a certain element of misbehaviour is unavoidable online.

Love the new one by Savages. Waiting with baited breath for the album now.

The new one from Anglo-American duo Big Deal came out today. I consider their debut to be a bit of a hidden gem, though I'm not sure I like their sound quite as much with a full backing band. Still, looking forward to the album.

< B U M P > Teen arrested for falsely yelling 'bingo!' in crowded hall Yelling bingo when nobody has won can get you in trouble with the law. Just ask the Kentucky man who falsely yelled “bingo” last month and was cited for second-degree disorderly conduct. As part of 18-year-old Austin Whaley’s punishment, Kenton District Judge Douglas Grothaus recently ordered the Covington man not to say the word “bingo” for six months. “Just like you can’t run into a theater and yell ‘fire’ when it’s not on fire, you can’t run into a crowded bingo hall and yell ‘bingo’ when there isn’t one,” Park Hills Police Sgt. Richard Webster, the officer who cited Whaley, told the Cincinnati Enquirer. On Feb. 9, Webster was working an off-duty security detail at a Covington bingo hall on West Pike Street when Whaley entered the hall with several other youths and yelled “bingo,” Webster said. “This caused the hall to quit operating since they thought someone had won,” Webster wrote on his citation. “This delayed the game by several minutes and caused alarm to patrons.” Webster said the crowd of mostly elderly women did not take kindly to Whaley’s bingo call. “At first, everybody started moaning and groaning when they thought they’d lost,” Webster said. “When they realized it wasn’t a real bingo, they started hooting and hollering and yelling and cussing. People take their bingo very seriously.” Had Whaley apologized for his actions, Webster said he probably would have sent him on his way with a warning. “But he refused to say he was sorry,” Webster said. “He seemed to think he could say whatever he wanted because it was a public building. I tried to explain that that’s not the case. Just because it’s a public building doesn’t give you the right to run into a theater and yell ‘fire.’ You can’t go into a ballpark and yell ‘out,’ because people could stop the game.” When Whaley appeared in Kenton District Court last week, the judge ordered Whaley: “Do not say the word ‘bingo’ for six months.” The youthful defendant could have faced up to 90 days in a jail and a $250 fine on the misdemeanor charge. So long as Whaley, who had no prior criminal record, doesn’t get into any more trouble within six months, though, the charge will be dismissed. “He was remorseful in court,” Grothaus said. “He was obviously a good kid who hadn’t been in trouble before. With all the other things that happen in the court system and the families you’re dealing with, you’ve got to keep a sense of humor.”

Is it me or is there very little actual 'Star Trekking' going on in what we've seen of STID so far? It's not a deal breaker for me or anything, but given that you'd expect the majority of a Star Trek movie to take place in space, it does strike me as a little odd.
