This is what Christopher Eccleston said to the podcast Bad Wilf.
“I left Doctor Who because I could not get along with the senior people. I left because of politics. I did not see eye-to-eye with them. I didn’t agree with the way things were being run. I didn’t like the culture that had grown up, around the series. So I left, I felt, over a principle.
Leonard Nimoy – better known to many worldwide as the original Spock in Star Trek TOS – is going to unretire.
Leonard Nimoy has appeared in Bruno Mars’ latest music video for “The Lazy Song (Official Alternate Version)”. There already was another music video released but Elektra Records also came up with this one. The song from the album Doo-Wops & Hooligans was released as a single last February 2001. Over a million digital copies alone were sold.
You really have to see this, it’s for real. And there’s a cameo or two by Trek actors too so this can count as a new “sci-fi music video” 
.
Leonard Nimoy explained to the TrekMovie website how he got involved in this video.
I met Aaron Bay-Schuck in 1985 when I was preparing to direct St IV. He was 4-1/2 years old. I married his mother in 1989. Aaron is the Atlantic Records exec who signed Bruno Mars to the label.
Not too long ago, Nimoy also un-retired for the part of William Bell in the show Fringe (voice only, ok, for the episode Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) and he also will be heard as Sentinel Prime in the third Transformers movie this summer (Dark of the Moon).
Here’s the video with no further ado!

A few days ago I posted on the Avengers movie.
Now the news is out via a tweet by Mark Ruffalo that the Avengers movie will not be shot in 3D, unlike the Thor and Captain America movies which were shot in 3D.
What do we know about the bad guys in the upcoming Avengers movie in production..
The main bad guys are Loki (as seen in the Thor movie – since he gets hold of the Cosmic Cube at the end of that movie), and of course the green-skinned reptilian alien Skrulls.
But there’s yet another big villain to come in this movie!
SPOILERS as River Song would say..

This is the next crossover fanfic in my WhoSliders v1 fan-series featuring Doctor Who (the Fifth Doctor – played by Peter Davison in the classic BBC tv series) and the Sliders.
News has come out that the actor Shia LaBeouf from the Transformers Movie Franchise is quitting the franchise, together with Director Michael Bay, after the third movie.
He mentioned the possibility of a reboot.
This was discussed on MTV. Meanwhile in the latest sequel to 2009′s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, the Autobots are back. Lead by Optimus Prime, the Autobots face the Decepticons once more, during a dangerous US-Russia space race. Once more Sam Witwicky has to help his robot friends.
LaBeouf said “I’m not coming back to do another one”, giving rise to the possiblity of either a new actor replacing him or a full reboot for the fourth movie (which Paramount is interested in).
Here’s a review of the classic Doctor Who series episode Kinda which has been released as part of the Mara Tales Box set.
The episode, my favourite classic episode, has recently been released on DVD. The picture quality is superb, having been digitally restored. There are even new CGI effects which can be chosen if one prefers. The story was well known for its not so good rubber snake…
The recent James Cameron movie Avatar was influenced very much by this story, even though Avatar was too pessimistic and anti-human, while Kinda is pro-human and a much more positive story.
It’s worth watching indeed. The enemy is the evil entity, coming from the collective unconscious, known as the Mara. I wrote my first fanfic from which the WhoSliders series emerged as a sequel to the Mara stories in Doctor Who, so it’s worth viewing if you read my fics. It takes a spiritual and anthropological approach to sci-fi pioneered by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Humans from earth are about to colonise planet S14, known to the locals as Deva Loka (the location is revisited in my fics too and Hindle becomes a WhoSlider). And the ancient evil known as the Mara emerges in the subconscious of the Doctor’s companion Tegan (played by the wonderful Janet Fielding). Nyssa is kept out of the story as she is recuperating.
The episode features Peter Davison as the 5th Doctor, Janet Fielding as Tegan, Matthew Waterhouse as Adric, Nerys Hughes as Todd, Simon Rouse as Hindle and Adrian Mills as Aris. It was directed by Peter Grimwade and written by Christopher Bailey. It is really worth getting on DVD and viewing. You can get from the following Amazon uk link..
With great sadness we have heard of the death of British actress Elisabeth Sladen who played Sarah-Jane Smith in both the classic and new Doctor Who as well as in her spin-off series Sarah-Jane Adventures. Elisabeth Sladen was 63 and was suffering from the disease of cancer. The cause of death has not been released.
Confirmation was given by the BBC. She leaves to mourn her, her husband, Brian Miller and a daughter.
Scirev.Net offers its condolences to the family as well as to the many Doctor Who fans.
Elisabeth Sladen was a wonderful actress loved by many generations.
BBC is going to broadcast My Sarah-Jane, a special about Sarah-Jane Smith and Elisabeth Sladen next Saturday.

The following touching video was posted on this RIP page:

A number of years ago I had dreamt of the idea of translating Tolkien’s writings (or The Hobbit at least) into the Maltese language..
Nothing came of it though I had some ideas and a proposal but the Tolkien estate wanted lots of money for translating it 
I decided to write down some of my thoughts after reading this article on bigthink.
Since the Maltese word elf means a thousand, I thought of using elvu instead for the elf race. For Thorin Tarkatalballut (Thorin Oakenshield)’s people, I used nanu.
