I am so pleased that Hollywood is being shown yet again that science fiction can bring non-genre junkies into the theaters. When written properly (or with fewer nitpicks), a decent story set on the sci-fi/space fantasy canvass will attract audiences and generate positive word-of-mouth buzz.

So far, I have seen the movie three times, and will likely see a few times more (at least once in IMAX, if possible) before it leaves the cinema and heads for the DVD shelf. That alone should convey to anyone how much I liked that movie.

Meanwhile, back in the Elsewhere universe, I am finding my personal momentum building again as I race to the finish line with the first two books of the series A Crescendo of Color and The Sign of Fire. The sooner I can complete these works, the sooner I can work on the related projects to market it.

At the moment, my biggest stumbling block pertains to the terminology naming conventions. It is a bear, to say the least. Hopefully, my final selections will be smart choices that works well in the story telling aspect of the thing.
