The Beginning Of The Steam Dream...

Happy, Steampunk Birthday to you...






DCA isn't the only one celebrating a birthday today...

One hundred and eighty-three years ago, the creator of worlds, dreamer and visionary, French writer Jules Verne, the original "Steampunk" author and inspiration for many Disney films was born in Nantes, France.

His own birth will help create the birth of modern science fiction...

You know Jules Verne? What's he like?

Honor doesn't know Jules Verne; if he did, he'd be quite old and probably wouldn't be blogging.

Someone hasn't seen Tron: Legacy! Shame on you, Darrell. ;)

Also, I have one of those rayguns! Well, a little one. The full-size ones are hundreds of dollars. :( Greg Broadmore, the designer, is awesome and very nice. He goes to Comic Con every year.

Is David Fincher locked in to make 20k Leagues his next film after "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"? Does anyone know for sure? I sure hope so. That's the one film that Disney has stuck in development that I'm the most excited to see.

No, I saw Tron Legacy.
