Robert Englund Evolves I have followed this guy's career, all the way back to when he played the role of a skinny young lizard alien visitor in the TV series, "V". Today, Robert begins his transition into the "next phase", as most actors do: directing. He starts shooting the film Killer Pad in late April, and you know any horror movie with this guy behind the lens is sure to be a bonafide thriller. Thanks to Cinescape for the newsbyte.

The Year B4 At this point in time one year ago, Star Wars fan Jeff Tweiten was about mid-way through his wait in line for Star Wars tickets, in front of the Pacific Science Center IMAX Theatre. You may recall this guy, waiting 5 months in line to be the first at his local theatre in Seattle, WA, to see ROTS. His site is still up, and shares his experiences during the near half-year wait to see the last of the Star Wars films debut on the big screen. Check it out here. You can also read up on what was happening here at B4DT at that time in our archives.

So, I guess the big question is, whose nose should we expect to see getting longer? Or is the TV show the equivalent of the new episodes?

Harrison Ford: The REAL Spider Man Here's a little thing to make you go HMMMMM- On a news story on NPR this morning, they made reference to the new Crustacean species that was recently discovered, which we mentioned last week. The reason the topic popped up on today's news was because scientists gave it a formal name today. And while the new name was being discussed, they mentioned how some species have actually been named after recent celebrities.. One name that really shocked me was..... Harrison Ford. Apparently, there was a species of spider named after him in 1993: Calponia Harrisonfordi. Sound wacked?? You can read more about it here. Personally, I think it would have been better to name a species of snake after him... "Snakes, why did it have to be SNAKES.."
