Geez – can anyone else smell a FB page in the making? I always smile when people try to claim that an idea that has been used for a movie is theirs – with artistic forms of expression it’s always quite a tenuous subject. What do you think? Why do you think these people are suddenly attacking Mr Cameron? Just the money, or could there be a kernel of truth in the claims?

Also – Hee to William Shatner ant the myouterspace page! There’s a video from Mr Shatner himself too, speaking about the site. Are you going to join?
