I notice Wendy Carlos has a web site. Wendy did original music for Clockwork Orange and The Shining, not to mention Tron. She has a long personal farewell to Stanley Kubrick. (Some of the language in the farewell is oddly self-serving, but I suppose the target audience of the site is for her fans, not his. Still odd.)

Kubrick used a great deal of "classical" music as well, of course. An Abridged Guide to the Kubrick Soundtracks will help you identify that one piece he used in that one film. The site also has information on soun dtrack album availability--especially useful as many of the films don't have complete albums, if any.

This fan site for The Shining has RealAudio clips of some of the music, with descriptions of where a clip is used in the movie. Get freaked o ut all over again.

I like the original fictional TV series that only air at 3am on Seattle stations. To think that I never would have known about Relic Hunter (Tia Carrere's Tomb Raider-like adventure series) or Team Knight Rider (a blight on the Knight Rider universe if I ever saw one !) if I had been able to fall asleep. Do these shows get better time slots in other parts of the country?

Quoting the October 22nd Entertainment Weekly article on real-life concepts for TV series that didn't make the cut:

Looking for a way to reinvent the sagging action genre? Pilots don't come more imaginative than this Ben Stiller-directed parody of such shows as The Six Million Dollar Man and Knight Rider. Jack Black (star of HBO's music farce Tenacious D) shines as an astronaut who becomes freakishly intelligent after a close encounter with the sun. His partner? A talking motorcycle. His catchphrase? "I know everything!" His enemy? Bad-guy actor Ron Silver as...bad-guy actor Ron Silver.
