Yeah, so this moive is my favorite. Yes, I like it more than any other movie ever made. Why? Because it's awesome! It is a finely crafted film that is also exciting and tremendous fun. Here's James Horner talking about the score which happens to be some of the best music for a movie ever.

This film blows me away. Everytime I watch Aliens it seems as fresh and new as the first time I watched it. Here's Cameron and Horner talking about it a bit.






Edgar Rice Burroughs Gets Adapted






I love ERB's Mars Series. Now, it's getting a comic treatment. The art looks nice and the interview with the comic writer is cool. Read the interview here.

Twenty Minutes into the Future...


For 14 exciting weeks when I was in Junior High those words in the post title started off one of the most unique TV shows ever: Max Headroom. Most people remember the Coke ad campaign featuring the computer video jockey, but the TV series is where real stuff was going down.

Cyberpunk before cyberpunk was cool, this show and it's technological commentary shattered the mold. Ground-breaking and even visionary, this show predicted much of our world looks like now. Twenty-four hour news? Check. The Internet? Check. Constant adverting? Check. Video pirates? Check. Five hundred TV channels competing for ratings? Check. And much, much more.

Visionary? Ground-breaking? Unique? Strange? So of course it was canceled after only 14 episodes. TV networks still haven't changed. If a show is ahead of it's time it has to go. You have to make room for that new cop show, right?

Finally though, Max Headroom is officially on DVD. If you've never seen it check it out now. Here's Max on You Tube.

Fallout: New Vegas - Oct.19th

It's not easy for me to put into words how excited I am for this game. I'm not a big gamer (video anyway), but I bought an Xbox just so I could play Fallout 3. So, yeah, I'm stoked. Check out offical news as well as the voice cast here. Michael Dorn and Ron Perlman! I love it!

Here are a few pics:

It's not science fiction, but it looks wild. It's an independently produced movie coming out of the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake. The director tells me it's a very simple story of love and evil. Here's the first teaser trailer and the website: http://www.kraze-movie.com/
