    New trailer for the show I worked on, The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra. Coming soon!

    thedailywhat:

    TV Show Promo of the Day: IGN has just released a brand new trailer for The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra — Nickelodeon’s long-awaited follow-up to Avatar.

    The new trailer is chock full of new footage, including a scene of Korra destroying a 2,000-year-old treasure that probably shouldn’t have been used for airbending training if they didn’t want to risk it being destroyed jus’ sayin’.

    Though no official premiere date has yet been set (coming soon? Thanks for nothing), it has been confirmed that the first episode will air sometime in 2012 — possibly as early as this summer.

    In the 1970′s, Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill, with the help of NASA Ames Research Center and Stanford University, held a series of studies which explored the possibilities of humans living in giant orbiting spaceships. More of their results here.

    Between September 1968 and October 1969, Edward Gorey set out to collaborate on three children’s books with author and editor Peter F. Neumeyer and, over the course of this 13-month period, the two exchanged a series of letters on topics that soon expanded well beyond the three books and into everything from metaphysics to pancake recipes.

    Article here, buy the book on Amazon (for me) here.

Below:Me with Danny Tamberelli and Syd Straw (Miss Fingerwood)
This was an amazing event - amazingly cool people on stage and in the audience (including Adventure Time creator Pen Ward.) And it was a great reminder of what a perfect episode “Yellow Fever” is in this “funny, sad, strange, beautiful” series .

    The Adventures of Pete & Pete tribute & live panel (cast & co-creators in person) - 11/19/11

    Schedules permitting, Danny Tamberelli (“Little Pete”), show co-creators Will McRobb & Chris Viscardi, and other cast/crew will be here at the Cinefamily to celebrate this event!

    I am considering buying every remaining ticket. Pete and Pete is, without exaggeration, the greatest show ever made about childhood, which puts it high in the running for best TV show ever.
