The movie Journey to the Center of the Earth fascinated me, although the cinematography was in that cheesy era of filming making. This one I’d like to see remade instead of War of the Worlds, although I am interested in War of the Worlds, even if I haven’t cared for most of the movies Tom Cruise has starred in to date. Guardian:

Japanese scientists are to explore the centre of the Earth. Using a giant drill ship launched next month, the researchers aim to be the first to punch a hole through the rocky crust that covers our planet and to reach the mantle below.

There’s been lots of stories about unlocking the mysteries inside the earth with Scott Sigler’s Earthcore, coming most immediately to mind. Just checked in on Scott’s progress, BTW, and he’s up to chapters 25-26. I’m waiting until he has the whole thing done to burn to CD and then listen on a trip. Wonder if he’ll be done in time for summer vacation?

Also noticed Scott was up to 2,562 subscribers according to the Feedburner Feedcounter. His goal was 5,000, I hope he makes it. You can do it, Scott! In this interview with Todd Storch Scott says he has made it (so Feedcount stats be damned):

I’m hoping that by proving EarthCore can land a big audience a publisher will take a chance on printing the book. The typical first printing for a new novelist is 5,000 copies. I already have more listeners than that.

Did this post make you go hmm?
