Real Life Gnomes, Or Back-Door Alien Infestation In Argentina?

A few months back, the people of Salta, Argentina were being brutally walk-assaulted by gnome like creatures, and this October, there is creepy new gnome footage. I personally believe that this isn’t a woodland creature, but instead a tiny alien race slowly taking over our world; to quote my man Casey from The Faculty, “If…

Fred Einaudi’s Unexpected Visions of the Apocalypse

Fred Einaudi’s portraits take the iconic visual language of their subjects – the can-do attitude of women in wartime propaganda posters, the innocence and curiosity displayed in paintings of children, the elegance and drama of Victorian and Edwardian era portraiture – and juxtaposes it with unexpected images of death and destruction. The results are some…

Star Wars May Not Be Hell, But It’s Definitely Heck If You’re A Clone

This week’s Clone Wars dumped a lot of the traditional Star Wars trappings – although they kept in the now-expected moment of ripping off the original trilogy – and the result was something that seemed more like a war story than usual… and a welcome reminder that there’s more to George Lucas’ saga of a…

Batman On Broadway: The Musical You’ll Never See

We told you earlier this week about Darq Knight, a show that unofficially takes The Dark Knight and gives it the Rogers and Hammerstein treatment, but that’s not Batman’s first brush with musical theater… nor his most terrifying. Because, ten years ago this year, the Dark Knight was saved from a fate worse than even…

Soon To Be Departed Show Defeats New Anti-Science “Hit”

Don’t feel too depressed about the success of Eleventh Hour (or even Life On Mars); we have something that’ll put their audience into some context – they’re both still being beaten in the ratings by the fourteen-year-old ER on NBC, now in its final season. Perhaps Thursdays at 10 are just a good time to…

What’s The Difference Between A Pitbull And A Princess Of Power?

If ever there was a sign that the election needs to be over already, it may have come in the form of a newspaper suggesting that the ideal Hallowe’en gag for next weekend would be dressing up as Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin superheroes. Yes, we knew that the Republican VP nominee was a popular…

Depressed Astronauts to Get Shiny New Computerized Therapist

You all know how it goes. A crew of intrepid space travelers sets out on an easy cargo mission, but before long the isolation chafes, and the crew’s careful equilibrium unravels with devastating consequences. If only HAL 9000, Mother, or the Apollo Guidance Computer had been equipped to offer psychiatric help to its human companions,…

Who Should Be The Next Who?

With rumors about Paterson Joseph taking over the role of the Doctor from David Tennant in 2010’s fifth season of Doctor Who continuing to circulate, it’s beginning to look more and more likely that West Lothian’s favorite son might not be the man in the time-traveling blue box for much longer. And while I have…

The Dueling Dystopias of Political Campaign Ads

John McCain and Barack Obama may seem as different as night and day, but there are a good number of folks still on the fence as to who will get their vote. Where debates, stump speeches, and lectures on voting records have failed, maybe science fiction will save the day. Supporters on both sides of…

After we asked whether Sarah Connor’s good luck was Joss Whedon’s bad, Dollhouse star Amy Acker appeared to tell us that everything was coming along exactly on schedule.

Aliens Get Hit In The Crotch: A Video Remix

Harvey Keitel Has An Important Message About Gay People

Last night’s episode of time-traveling cop show Life On Mars was the first episode not loosely based on the British version. And if that’s the direction the show aims to go in from now on, I’m a tad concerned. I miss Journeyman, last year’s show about a man unstuck in time. It used to convey…
