Outlandish deadlines for the March print ish of Cinescape this week. I’m heads down on the second-most time consuming one, a round-up of information on movies-in-production.

I was greatly pleased to see that Word:mac from Office v.X can treat FileMaker Pro databases as a direct merge import source, something that will increase my consistency and accuracy by a large amount when I’m doing the fact-checking part of the procedure.

Other tasks include an article for which there’ll be some significant transcription tasks, something I’m dog-slow at, a roundup of new points since the last ish was rounded up editorially, and that piece to write from the interview with Michael Moorcock.

He had a bit of trouble getting the interview back to me but I did get it on Saturday, and it was exciting to read. I won’t post it here until the print edition is out, sorry to say, but Michael gave fascinating answers to many things I’ve long been curious about in his work.
