This looks good so far, the bunch over at LegionWorld know their stuff.

The Legion Omnicom: LegionWiki – the new Encyclopedia Galactica

LegionWiki – the new Encyclopedia Galactica

Looks like Scott and the guys over at LegionWorld have finally gone public with the new LegionWiki.
For those of you who don’t know what a wiki is, check out the
Wikipedia. Wikis are collaborative encyclopedia entries, where
basically anyone can create or edit any entry (of course, if you erase
the entry on Bouncing Boy and put in “for a good time, call Luornu”,
someone else can just as easily fix it).

Think of it as the Encyclopedia Galactica of the 21st century.

Similar wikis have been created for other continuity and character driven series, such as Superman, X-Files and Star Trek. Chaim Mattis Keller created a Legion help file
some years back that attempted to be comprehensive, but because of the
serial nature of the comics business it was outdated after a month.
This is the next level of that, but now anyone can help. You think
you’re an expert on Kid Psycho? The Planetary Chance Machine? All the models of the Legion Cruiser? That and more you’ll eventually find there.

So go sign in and create that entry on Kono Juice that we know you’ve been dying to share with everyone.

Long Live the Legion!

The Movie Blog: Thomas Haden Church – the physique of a fishwife

Thomas Haden Church – the physique of a fishwife

I’ve always liked Thomas Haden Church all the
way back to his days on Wings
(man that was an under appreciated show!) By now you all know that Church is
playing the villain Sandman in Spider-Man 3. What I didn’t know was a funny
conversation that took place between Church and Sam Raimi (the director) just
after he was cast for the role.

The good folks over at Digital Spy give us
this:

Church reportedly said, “When I met with the producers and
director last year they said, ‘We probably need you to get in a specific
physical shape for the movie. Do you mind taking your shirt off?’

I took my shirt off and the director Sam Raimi said ‘We’re going to need you
to gain about 100 pounds of muscle. You’ve come here today with the physique of
a fishwife and that doesn’t fit our scheme.’”

Oh man that’s
funny. Well.. from the looks of the pictures I’ve seen it does indeed look like
the man bulked up a lot. No, not 100 pounds of muscle… but bigger for sure.
Can’t wait to see this thing.
