Film

• Popular Mechanics has posted a list of The 10 Most Prophetic Sci-Fi Movies Ever in honor of Arthur C. Clarke. I think it looses plausability right around “Short Circuit,” but it’s still a good read.

Internet

Television

• I don’t usually watch A&E, but it looks to me as if they’re about to hit one out of the park. They have posted a trailer for The Andromeda Strain, a remake from Ridley Scott, the director of Alien, Blade Runner.
• OnlineTVEasy now allows your to watch almost any episode of The Simpsons online. Legal? No. Awesome? Hells yeah.
