I reckon its just some hobo who has been rooting around some old studio backlot and found a ton of old shite.

Moving Closer

I have the software to compose the comic strip, as well as the scripts. I have also gotten a fair few images/screencaps from the opening scenes to start.
I am hoping to have the first comic up by the end of December. I am also due to revise the scripts as I found I was using too much material in the early ones, too many jokes and ideas that I can spread out a bit.

Status Quo

No not the embarassingly rubbish rock band, but rather I am collecting screencaps for the series, and beginning to build a basic page layout template. Scripts have been written for the first 5 episodes, and seeing how everyone else is approaching it, I may get more life out of a seconds worth of film.

DM of the Galaxy has a Rival Already

I have been lazy, and no reason not to cry, but there is already a DM of the Galaxy rival out there in the form of Darths & Droids.

I have begun screencapping the film and will begin a slow production of maybe one or two a month.
D&D (ha ha) is actually running from episode 1 of Star Wars, whilst mine will start from episode 4.

Darths & Droids

A while back I mentioned the DM of the Rings, and how I envisaged a spinoff called DM of the Galaxy. Apart from a few scripts, and a holding webpage, I didnt really do anything else.

Seems someone else has beaten me to it, albiet in a different style than I anticipated with Darths & Droids.

So far it seems good. But this will not stop me. I have decided to continue on regardless.

My Multi-Region DVD Player Finally Died

Kinda annoyed for no reason, but now I have one.

My DVD player, a reliable Toshiba which I had modded to play any region DVD finally packed up this week end. I was annoyed, it was a faithful unit, and served me very well. I have a DVD cinema system at home, so I kept it mainly to play my region 1 DVDs I bought over the years. Its just now I've realised that I have some very precious DVDs in region 1 format that I am going to have to hunt on Ebay to replace.

No surprise that the old region 1 DVDs will end up on Ebay themselves. But the 3 that Im most sad to see go, and sure I wont be able to replace that fast are

Mummy Collectors Edition, Brendan Fraser version directed by Stephen Sommers
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a classical funny film, and a cult film to boot
Dune: Mini-Series, the Sci-fi Channel's adaptation of a brilliant book

As I said, these and the others will end up on Ebay shortly the moment I stop crying.

DM of the Rings Update

Back in August I told you that the DM of the Rings was over, and how I was looking forward to his next effort.

Well, I am unhappy to report that what I have read so far is that his new web-comic is so wide of the comedy mark, that I am very disappointed.

Now I am not one for fanfic, but I did write a couple of strips, (well, after all he did encourage them) but based them on Star Wars rather than Lord of the Rings.

Ill have a go at editing a couple and posting them later, minus the artwork. I know its self-indulgent, but tough.
