Obama as a VulcanArt

  • ConceptShip is a blog devoted to really amazing spacecraft, with the occasional robot thrown in for good measure.
  • These Steel Animals are fairly fascinating, though I’d appreciate a few friggin lasers.

Film

  • Beer and Sci-Fi has an excellent list of Utopian and Dystopian Sci Fi Films, including a few oldies I’d never even heard of, and that’s saying something.
  • The classic horror film The Thing is getting a Remake!
  • Memorize this list of the Worst 20 Movie Sequels of All Time.
  • Over at Soviet Delirus has picked out look-alikes for the the dream cast of a film version of Half-Life.
  • Ten Guaranteed Sci-Fi Weepers? I’m not sure all of these reduced me to tears.

Internet

  • Barack Obama as a Vulcan.
  • The Twelve Weakest Deaths in Science Fiction has it dead-on, ending with Captain Kirk.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: You can listen to “Bury the Carnival” by Simon Avery over at Transmissions From Beyond.
  • You are stuck in your home for 5 years with no computer or TV. Choose your only reading material: The Bible, the Encyclopedia Britannica, Every Robert Heinlein novel, a stack of Playboys, or TIME magazine delivered each week while confined?

Television

  • The promo for Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs: The Animated Series is online. It looks like its going to be a bit more risque than the original movie.

Video Games

  • The Top 10 Hip-Hop Songs that Sampled a Video Game represent a surprisingly wide range of artists.
