Doctor Who Series 6 Trailer

Do you know who I think River Song is? I think she's the Jenny later in life, although I think it would be even cooler if she turned out to be Susan. Who do you think she is?

The Planets

Mystery Science Radio

Dream Episode

The ongoing adventures of the crew of the Yellow Submarine on their strange offhsore / underwater pirate radio station. Mystery Science Radio is a low tech homage to B Movies, obscure music, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Cinematic Titanic, Doctor Demento, shortwave radio, Coleman Francis, Ed Wood, and the Hal Warren cult film "Manos: The Hands of Fate"

The rendition of "MacArthur Park" in this episode is not to be missed. Too funny.

Damnation Alley movie

Yeah, it's that bad.

The Atom Man Part 04


This is the beginning of a major new story arch during which Superman will finally face a worthy adversary. First he must race to stop the mad scientist Der Teufel from completing his evil scheme to create an Atom Man, a kryptonite powered supervillain.

Hyperland

Here's a blast form the past. Douglas Adams' 1990 tech documentary Hyperland, which also stars Tom Baker as a "software agent". Here's how The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy might describe it.

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think hypertext is a pretty neat idea."

Motörhead Versus the System

There's a great review by Ben Terrall of Motörhead's The World is Yours over at Counterpunch.

After 35 years of raging against conformity and injustice, Motörhead still cuts through bullshit with alacrity. Lemmy explained recently that the new album's title is strictly sarcastic, as the world is now owned by banks, not rock and roll enthusiasts.

What does this have to do with sf? Lemmy had cameos in both Hardware (1990) and Citizen Toxie (2000), that's what.
