SF Tidbits for 9/27/07

• The Fantasy Review interviews Michael Moorcock (The Metatemporal Detective). On the proposed Elric movie: “We have a script. Chris Weitz will re-engage with it when publicity for The Golden Compass is completed.” [via Pyr-o-mania]
• Here’s a chart that shows sci-fi characters to scale.
• John Klima is offering electronic copies of Electric Velocipede to folks who are interested in reviewing it.
• Sony is releasing colorized version of 3 Ray Harryhausen flicks: It Came From Beneath the Sea, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers and 20 Million Miles to Earth.
• Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry Was a Big Hippie: And Star Trek Is The Better For It. “Like all intellectual sci-fi, Star Trek addresses more. Alien races substitute for ethnic groups or special interest groups. Those alien worlds stand in for other parts of our world or other times where slavery was never abolished, or animals are still slaughtered for sport.”
• Behold Franken Monkey! [via Optical Popitude]
