    Got a couple more Moon goodies here today. The first is an interview with Duncan Jones at QuietEarth.com.  Incidentally, Quiet Earth looks like a cool site in general.  I don’t know about the rest of you, but I plan on browsing through it for some recommendations for horror and scifi films.  I can’t remember the…

    Finally found some showtime listings for Moon.  The Sundance site wasn’t working, so I had to go to BowieWonderWorld.  If you’re in the Salt Lake City or Park City, Utah area this weekend, go watch it and support Duncan Jones and his directorial debut. Day: Friday, January 23, MOONN23CE Time: 6:15 pm Theater: Eccles Center,…

    Frequently lists of this type are pretty meaningless.  They are usually a compilation of the opinions of magazine or website staffers with maybe a few credible industry insiders and their input.  Zimbio’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in Fashion is another such list, but at least it’s fun to contemplate and it hasn’t…

    The latest news on the upcoming album from War Child, Heroes, is that the tracklisting has been released.  Note that there are different listing for the UK and North America, with TV On The Radio’s cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes” appearing at different places on the album.  I don’t suppose that will really mean much…

    In the gallery, some of you will be very pleased to find that we now have some David Bowie iPhone wallpapers for your enjoyment. To get all the legal stuff out of the way, none of these photos are mine and I take no credit for them. I simply sized and formatted them. As with…

    Last night Neil Patrick Harris hosted Saturday Night Live and completely owned every host in the past.  Even Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. There, I said it.  But more than that, in one sketch he portrayed David Frost grilling Other People….one of which included Bill Hader as David Bowie. Don’t get me wrong, I’m just…

    Not much to tell really, just another update to follow the progress of the upcoming War Child “Heroes” album that we’ve written about three times since we heard of it.  The new release day is February 16, 2009.  A tracklisting will be coming shortly.  Too bad it won’t make it out for Valentine’s Day –…

    Alex McDowell, the production designer for the upcoming (hopefully sooner rather than later, if Fox doesn’t have their way and screw everything up) Watchmen movie gave a lecture at MIT before Thanksgiving and shared a few interesting tidbits about some set design for Watchmen.  Among other things that are only of interest to Watchmen geeks,…
