I normally wouldn't do this, but.... zomfg!

I usually try to stay away from those silly web acros, but in this case I just had to.
I just got an email from Warner Bros about a movie that I didn't think was going to be out until later this year, that is in fact out at the end of this month, and I am almost scared how worked up I am over this.
Let me preface: I am a huge scifi fan, always have been, ever will be. I grew up on shows like Dr Who (the Tom Baker years first), Battlestar Galactica, The Incredible Hulk and of course, Star Trek.
Yes I know this outs me as a dork. And an old dork, at that.
I also loved shows like Sliders and Quantum Leap when they were new, and now am lucky enough to get stuff like Heroes, the new Dr Who and Battlestar, and my personal current fav, Smallville.
But the one show that I have enjoyed more than any other has been Babylon 5. Can't say why for sure. The CG couldn't have cost much and the sets were sometimes downright ridiculous. But the writing was awesome, the overall story arc was epic and the characters were actually believable. (None of that 'Point A to Point B, back to Point A' business that Trek made a habit of).
If you are planing on being bed-ridden for a few weeks or otherwise looking for a reason to watch 5 seasons of quality scifi tv, I highly recommend you get yourself the DVD set and give it a watch.
And when you're done that, get yourself your own copy of the new Babylon 5 movie, Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, because I won't be lending mine. ;)
Here's the link to the site, and here's the link to the trailer. Which I have watched 17 times already. Holy shit I want to watch this movie.
As Lennier would say 'Woo...who?'
EDIT 23/07/07 - Scifi.com has a great interview with 3 of the returning cast members about their return to the B5 universe. If you're a geek like me, it's a must read.

Cool. I showed the husband and we're going to put it on our canflix list.
Have you seen ads for the new sci fi movie out this month? Stardust I think it's called.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486655/
It has a bazillion big names in it. Looks awesome.
Stardust DOES look awesome. The comic was fantastic, and I hadn't heard they were making a movie out of it. So thanks.
And you guys will love B5. Such a good show. Did I mention that its also a sappy love story masquerading as science fiction?
