this afternoon, i’m going to see ultraviolet. i can hardly wait — this could, quite possibly, be the worst sci-fi movie of the year. nevermind that milla seems to be wearing midriff-baring, colorshifting leatherbabe garb and swingy black wig — that shot where her outfit morphs from white to red looks like it’s high time she replace her tampon.

as james pointed out this morning (although he gave credit to a movie blog), it’s never a good sign when the studio doesn’t let critics see the flick before it hits general release. add that to the fact they’ve been pimping the trailer bigtime on scifi (at least i think it’s scifi; i don’t really watch much of anything else), and the pg-13 rating (what? a milla movie with no perky milla breasts? how dare they?) and you have the makings of a disaster. not a katrina-scale disaster, mind you — just think slamming the oven door on a soufflé. a martha disaster, as it were. a disaster of poncho proportions.

in other news, claudia black is going to be a regular on SG-1 next season. while the show ain’t what it used to be (where have you gone, richard dean anderson? the ori would be nothing much to you… woo woo woo…), without farscape around, browder and black on SG-1 is the next best thing. even if black’s character is indubitably going to be putting the moves on daniel. again. (hmmm. maybe they’ll get into another sissy fight…?)
