Wednesday various

  • You know, it’s one thing to create an unnecessary and unanticipated sequel to a thirty-year-old movie that was deeply rooted in the computer technology of that time and hasn’t exactly aged well. It’s quite another to give it a title as terrible as TR2N.
  • “You don’t see that many novelizations of musicals.” Now we know why! [via]
  • A Twitter-based e-zine? It’s an interesting idea, if nothing else. Twitter’s 140-character limit doesn’t allow for much, if any story development, so it’s no surprise a lot of the stories so far have leaned closer to being jokes. Still, it’s a paying fiction market.
  • Speaking of paying fiction markets. And speaking of Twitter, I’m @unrealfred if you want to follow me. I make no guarantees I’ll follow you back — I suspect a small handful of my (very few) followers are spammers — but you never know.
  • Aw, this is just a shame: Peter Falk is suffering from Alzheimer’s.

  1. In all fairness, I have never seen the original. And I do think there could be potential in a remake or sequel.

    But that title. TR2N? C’mon!

  2. So, wait, they replaced the “O” with a “2” ? How ill33terate.

    If they were going to pretend the O was a 0, then they should have called it TR1N. TR2N makes it sound like the third movie in the series.

    “To a computer, this project looks like a series of zeros….”
