Free Battlestar Galactica eBook from Tor June 27, 2008

Posted by fanaticalpupil in : Books, Marketing , 1 comment so far

You can get the eBook version of Battlestar Galactica by Jeff Carver free! It’s only available if you sign up for the newsletter at Tor.com, but I think if you sign up now, you can still get the link to download it. Tor is giving away an eBook each week. I’m just pointing this one out because it’s a household name, and also because I just started watching the Battlestar Galactica series (from Netflix, of course).

New Trailer for The Dark Knight May 5, 2008

Posted by fanaticalpupil in : Marketing, Movies , add a comment

This movie looks awesome. (Thanks to SF Signal for the video)

The trailer is showing before Iron Man, if you want to see it on the big screen. Speaking of big screens, I hope that this one comes out in IMAX like Batman Begins did. My wife is a teacher, so she has a special pass that lets her see movies at the IMAX at Navy Pier any time she wants. I still have to pay full price (something like $17), but that’s about the price of a normal movie if you split it. I would probably pay full price to see The Dark Knight in the IMAX anyway.

Scarlet TV Series Revealed April 23, 2008

It’s a TV.

According to this Yahoo Answers post (which I’m quoting because they always seem to take down the answers):

I found the below info on youtube as I toooooo have been searching for days for this show.

“There is no Scarlet television show, and it is not a viral campaign for the Scarlet camera.

It is a viral marketting campaign for the LG Scarlet (previously called Scarlett, and already on sale in Korea) series of televisions.

When they say “hit TV series”, they mean it literally. It’s been a very good selling series of TVs there”

Thank you Bunny73.

That does explain why the commercials have been seen on more than one channel. And yes, you can see the TV in at least one of the YouTube videos. I applaud LG for their creativity, but really, how many people are going to buy this TV who otherwise would not have? And how many people are going to be so upset at the hoax that they don’t buy the TV or any other LG products?

Oh, and Rosebud was the sled.
