District Nine

Posted by Sandman on Mon, Aug 31st 2009, 7:46 am

As always I am a little behind the times. Blendergirl and I went to see District 9 last weekend. We left feeling a little dazed. We had both heard good things about it bet were not at all prepared for something so 'real'.

I think we liked it although it certainly messed with the comfort zone.

the Alien effects were great.

Whaaa? Take Two

Posted by Zardoz on Mon, Aug 24th 2009, 7:45 am

So it looks like the Bryan Singer-helmed "new-Battlestar-but-not-related-to-the-real-new-Battlestar" follow-up film may not be on as much of a fast track as previously suspected. Instead, something equally baffling is being suggested. More below...

Improving a Classic

Posted by Zardoz on Wed, Aug 19th 2009, 10:05 am

You'd think that something as simple and time-tested as "Rock Paper Scissors" would be difficult to improve.

Not true: Just address the inherent logical issues surrounding how piece of paper can beat a rock, add in some basic Return of the Jedi observational knowledge, and click below:

When suddently it dawned on me I've seen this show before

The upcoming Stargate Universe has a familiar air to it:

"Stargate Universe follows the adventures of a present-day, multinational exploration team on board the Ancient spaceship Destiny. Transported to Destiny in a distant corner of the universe and unable to return to Earth, members of the team are forced to remain on the vessel and fend for themselves."

Lets see: Lost In Space, Voyager, SG: Atlantis, BSG: TOS, ....

Yeah- real fresh guys.

Whaaa?

From AirlockAlpha.com:

Universal, the parent conglomerate that includes Syfy, is working on resurrecting [Battlestar Galactica] again in a big screen adventure that exists as a completely separate entity to the television series. That means fans shouldn't expect any familiar faces from the series to make an appearance.

Whoo Hooo!

ESPN ranks Iowa #20 in their pre-season power rankings. Sure, it's not one of the REAL polls, but it's nice to see Big Sports Media notice someone not in the Eastern time zone in the Big TEleveN.

Oh yeah - I see USAToday ranks Iowa at #21. So what's the buzz down there? Up here they pretend the Gophers actually matter, so I'm out of touch. Trogdor- fill me in!

For those not on twitter, a link to some of the stuff we got at the auction. You might notice something familiar there.

Everything happens for a reason, and this photo may be the reason I "won" the drawing. Or can I do better? heee heee heee
