Where an unrepentant geek talks about Battlestar Galactica & Life • Est. 2009
I've included OlmosPerfect.com, an Edward James Olmos fansite, in my list of links for a couple years, but the site relaunched for 2011 with a major upgrade that includes a wealth of information on Mr. Olmos' films and activism efforts.
If you're an EJO fan, this is a site you'll want to check out and probably bookmark. There's also a plea out for someone fluent in writing Spanish to possibly help translate the content.
I was watching The Horsemen the other night and found myself doing a double-take when I first saw Clifton Collins Jr. on the screen. He looked so similar to a TV cop near and dear to my heart, Miami Vice‘s Lt. Martin Castillo (Edward James Olmos). It was kinda uncanny with the black suit, narrow tie, and the mustache. Take a look and tell me what you think…
On the left is Edward James Olmos as Castillo, and
Clifton Collins Jr.’s detective in The Horsemen on the right.
The resemblance kinda made me nostalgic to see Marty so I ended up cracking out my Miami Vice DVDs and watching some eps.
On an semi-unrelated note, Collins co-starred with Olmos in The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, a Disney film based on a Ray Bradbury short story.
Hey, fellow Edward James Olmos fans, EJO will be on CSI: New York on Friday, October 15 in the episode “Sangre Por Sangre.” Check your local listings for the airing time. I’m looking forward to this.

Find me on…    
About Me  Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that  qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...Dawn Austin, Texas The GalactiCubees 
I've created a series of BSG-themed Cubees -- a paper art form that requires no glue or tape to assemble. You can check out my GalactiCubees (and other BSG-related fanart) at my deviantART page. Just A Thought  The candidate of choice for discerning BSG fans and voters! Actually, I've been musing lately about what would happen if people were to write-in Laura Roslin as their presidential candidate. Can't you just imagine the press coverage if a fictional character garnered a significant portion of the vote from real candidates? |
Recommended Reads Kushiel's Legacy Not for everyone, but it holds a place at the top of my "will-read-again" list -- especially the first three books.
Learn more about the Kushiel series Dune Chronicles
There has also been a series of Dune prequels written by Herbert's son, Brian, and Kevin J. Anderson, and while decent enough books, they don't hold a candle to the originals. Frank Herbert's voice is too distinct and is sorely missed in those books and the final (Dune 7) of the original book series, which was written from Frank's notes and published in two volumes - Hunters of Dune & Sandworms of Dune. Hunters of Dune Tairen Soul Series |
