Here is a little something to help you get through the rest of the week.  Why?  Because it’s awesome and so are you. If you can’t view the embedded video above, please click here.

Dack from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back has taken on near-mythical status with geeks.  When we first meet Dack he demonstrates his boundless enthusiasm with the line: “Right now I feel like I could take on the whole Empire myself!” As someone that’s watched the film a few times, this line is quite sad [...]

Awesome light painting featuring a Dalek! Also, check out this freakin’ amazing light painting video below.  Nothing to do with Daleks, but still really cool! If you can’t view the embedded video above, please click here.  Thanks to my buddy Adam for sending me both of these!

Stargate Universe. When the show first premiered, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I compared it to previous Stargate series, Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek: Voyager.  Within a couple weeks all that was forgotten and it was rapidly becoming one of my favorite shows on TV. If you’ve never seen the show, the [...]

I was watching the movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action with my ten-year-old step-son when this scene blew both our minds. Crazy!!!  We totally weren’t expecting that!  This movie was made in 2003, during the Doctor Who “wilderness years”.  Meaning this film was released between 1989 and 2005, when the Doctor Who series wasn’t being [...]

How did I not know about this movie before now?!?!? It’s about time travel. It’s starring Chris O’Dowd from THE IT CROWD. It’s British. It’s billed as DOCTOR WHO meets SHAUN OF THE DEAD. And it’s got Anna Faris. The film was released in the UK back in April 2009. WTF, mate?!?!  Utterly bizarre that [...]

If you’re like me, you absolutely loved the movie Tron growing up!  I remember playing the video game endlessly in the arcade – I couldn’t get enough!  The video game music still haunts me to this day.  When we weren’t in the arcade, we’d be outside pretending our Frisbees were Tron disks.  And don’t even [...]

I first saw this short back in November 2009.  I’ve been meaning to post it ever since, but just hadn’t gotten around to it.  Well here it is… Panic Attack! Written, edited and directed by Fede Álvarez, this short film’s budget was $300.  There really is no plot, just 5 minutes of cool shots of [...]

I’m currently reading the science fiction novel Seeker by Jack McDevitt.  I’m about 100 pages in and really enjoying it.  It won the 2006 Nebula Award for Best Novel.  The story is set approximately 10,000 years in the future and follows Alex Benedict, space archeologist, as he tries to uncover the mystery of a 9,000 [...]

I spend a lot of time reading to my children.  I’ve often said to them, when you read a book the pictures come alive and move in your mind.  Well, for the first time I can read my children a book where the pictures really do move in the book itself! Star Wars A Scanimation [...]
