Lisa: Wow, my first published article! Too bad it has someone else's name on it.
Homer: Welcome to the humiliating world of professional writing.

Sometime, somehow, I went from W34 L30 to W35 L29. How the hell did that happen?

Total Recall 2 due to be directed by Jonathan Frakes. Frakes doesn't necessarily ruin a project; I like ST: First Contact (a lot, actually) and one of his ST:TNG episodes. Not sure what to expect from this project, though, and if it's anything like the barely derivative TV series, it'll be nothing like the original movie. But we got two of the main screenwriters from the first. No cast yet. Release date 2001, but then again, Ender's Game is still registered with a year 2000 release date and no cast or crew.

(Speaking of which, didn't the IMDb entry for Ender's Game used to have a producer credit? Someone backed out, I bet, leaving Card stranded with a broken script and no project future. Oh well, sounded like the whole thing needed re-thinking anyway.)
