I’ve been looking, and you know what I haven’t found in all the discussion about the sale of Newsarama?

What it actually sold for.

For all we know, this could be BusinessWeek writ large. Bloomberg just bought BusinessWeek from McGraw-Hill for a bargain basement price between two and five million dollars (yes, million) and the takeover of some massive liabilities.

For all we know, Newsarama could have been acquired for a dozen copies of Superman #75. With the bags opened.

Anybody have any info? Or want to take a guess?

It’s Halloween time and that means I and co-host Graham Skipper are ready to debate the merits and drawing power of movie monsters such as Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, the Aliens and the Predators.

Last week, the CSG gang spoke with Tim Gunn about super-hero fashion and then attended the DC Comics/Bloomingdale’s fashion show in NYC where they asked Batman and Catwoman how fashion techniques have influenced their costumes.

And if that isn’t enough for you, all previous episodes of Crazy Sexy Geeks: The Series have been remastered with better audio quality! Enjoy!

In a discussion last week with Mike Gold, I mentioned I had a film his wife would love to see, and he’d get a kick out of it too. And, since it’s available via Creative Commons, I can share it with you as well.

Sita Sings The Blues is a bit of a find, and it’s a bit tricky to find as well. Created by cartoonist Nina Paley, and featuring the songs of Annette Hanshaw, it’s an award-winning retelling of the Ramayana in four different animation styles. Sita is a goddess/princess/woman utterly devoted to her husband Rama, the god/prince/man, and they just can’t quite make thier marriage work. You can’t see it in theaters, but you can download it, or you can buy a limited edition DVD. (Why it’s a limited edition is a loooooong story.)

It’s 82 minutes long and worth every second. Watch it.

Next, a fight between the Yangs and the Khoms in “Deep Space Station Zebra”.
