by Doc on Dec.10, 2008, under Fun Stuff
This is a fun little article, The Ten Least Successful Holiday Specials of All Time. Although some of it may be lost on most, the bit about The Lost Star Trek Christmas Episode: “A Most Illogical Holiday” sounds familiar…
“I Want To Eat Your Face”
by Doc on Nov.23, 2008, under Fun Stuff
The Thunder Child writes “The Thunder Child inaugerates a new section: Good scenes from bad movies, starting with two scenes from The Creature Wasn’t Nice (aka Spaceship and Naked Space) starring Leslie Nielsen and Patrick Macnee. In the first, an alien is interrogated as to what he wants to do on board the ship, in the second, Patrick Macnee as Doctor Stark attempts to explain that if they show they are not afraid of the creature, he won’t harm them. http://thethunderchild.com/Movies/MovieScenes/Want ToEatYourFace.html. The movie was written by Bruce Kimmel, author of the 2006 SF musical spoof The Brain From Planet X, and we provide a clip of the 50s SF movie title-rich theme song from one of its productions. Lots of fun, so check it out!”

by Doc on Nov.10, 2008, under Fun Stuff
This video (Read More to see it) is a brilliant tribute to the theme songs of John Williams, and the words of Star Wars. Before you think the guy in the video is the most awesomest singer on the planet, be aware the song is actually from these guys. But the video and the song are still cool…

The buzzwords around Hollywood are “reboot” or “re-imagining” (i.e. remake) and “unscripted” (i.e. “reality” shows), and the new crop of announcements from the studios and networks shows that they have no shortage of ideas on how to remake previous ideas. Read More for a rundown of the latest.
U.S. bill to adopt Shire Reckoning calendar
by Doc on Apr.01, 2006, under Fun Stuff
Eldandil writes: “Bipartisan U.S. House Bill H.2319, co-authored by Bob Gammidge (D-Florida) and Tolman Cotton (R-Montana), proposes to completely revise the annual calendar with one called the “Shire Reckoning”. According to Cotton, “The current calendar is over 2000 years old [Ed: not really], and the numbering is of a religious nature. We wanted to adopt something not radically different than what we are used to, but also introduce special holidays that everyone could enjoy and not have to work twice a year.” The proposed numbering scheme would start year 0 this time, to avoid further millenium confusion, which would correspond with what is now 1954, making today 10 Astron 52.” Alassea Astron-auk.
