Sci-Fi Storm

I’ve made some recent additions to the Sci-Fi TV Store. This includes several July 19th releases – Sliders (which gets its own listing) has both a First & Second Seasons pack plus the Third Season, plus short-lived series Earth 2 and Cleopatra 2525 complete series see the light of laser, and the recent NBC miniseries Revalations (which was actually out last week, and I hope to have a review for soon).

The websites for both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis have been updated to reflect the changes – especially in the cast changes. The animations are pretty cool on the character pages too.

The largest publisher of SF books is going to team up with the SCI FI Channel to produce “SCI FI Essentials”, which will be a cross-promotion system where Tor Books will promoted on SCIFI.COM, in SCI FI Magazine, and even on the SCI FI Channel itself. First up in July: Cory Doctorow’s Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town.

Robin G Howard writes “PRESS RELEASE
www.sfauthorsite-JL.com Official site of author Robin G.Howard
If all the laws in the world became obsolete, murder, rape, sexual deviations, suicide, torture and all other aberrations would prevail. Television ratings would soar as sex and bloodlust audiences crave for more. Gladiatorial television would emerge with the strongest killing the strongest and wild animals devouring the weak. Vast audiences would press their red buttons to determine who lives and dies. The beast in man and woman would be released, destroying all around them in an orgy of fanatical thoughts and deeds.” Read More for the complete release

Vue Weekly has a humorous article that talks about Hollywood’s best “beams” – lasers, blasters, whatever, with a look at the “Top 10” and an Honorable Mention.

The AFI last night announced the Top 100 movie quotes – and Star Wars came in at number 7 with “May the Force be with you.” A number of other genre movies make an appearance, with The Terminator, E.T: The Extraterrestrial, and the most recent movie in the list, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, “ringing” in at 85 with “My precious.”
