Head Full of Zombie!
It's fair to say that Men at Work said it best when they described the experience of being in the wrong head space in the wrong place with their immortal lines from "Down Under" "Travelling in a fried-out Kombi, On a hippie trail, head full of zombie." It's not unlike the experience of going to a party and waking up dead. An unfortunate experience, not to be underestimated. Certainly not the thing you can pack for. But as Jared Hess will tell you, it's fertile ground for five minute webisode...
Louis Ferreira: An Interview with SGU's Funny Man, Colonel Young (No, Really!)
Whilst SGU has its share of lighter moments, it's fair to say that it has a heavy dose of darkness. A crew, stranded on the other side of the universe, no way of getting back, with a growing power struggle on board, threatening the future of the mission (if they had any to begin with!). At the end of the first part of Season One, Colonel Everett Young finally went beyond the bounds of the measured, intelligent leader that had kept the fractured crew of military and civilians together. His dour,...
The Captain is Back
An epic journey stymied by Arne Saknusem's damn-ed Icelandic Volcano belching up Pat Boone and James Mason and disrupting honeymoon plans has now ended, and the Captain returns to the southern hemisphere far more married than when he left it, eager to explore the world of Sci Fi with an invigorated heart and a readership refreshed by the excellent work of Boba, Mr Michael Adams. Please send a warm round of applause to Mr Adams for all his excellent work, digging up the cool and unusual and adding...
Iron Man 2 -- The Review
Or should that be: Iron Man Too? As much as it’s about anything other than blockbuster season fun and earning another half-billion off a franchise, Iron Man 2 is about appropriating identity, with every dude in the film striving to take the place of Tony Stark’s mechanized man. Russian nutjob Ivan Vanko’s mission to kill the arms billionaire seems merely an excuse for him to develop and don and show off his own variation on the suit. The villain’s patron, Sam Rockwell, lives vicariously through...
Ker-Chinggoo: It's Na'vi For DVD/Blu-ray Sales Record!
Sci-fi fans have long bemoaned the practice of “double-dipping”, whereby distributors release multiple versions of a video, DVD or Blu-ray, adding or subtracting special features as they go, in order to entice consumers to buy and buy again. And now it's never going to stop, thanks to Avatar's spectacular salesplosion in the North American home entertainment market. While the DVD and Blu-ray offers only a 2D experience, and just a modest selection of special features, and everyone knows a whiz-bang...
What's On This Week April 26 - May 2
This week sees the return of the Captain to SCI FI PI from his honeymoon - hope you've all enjoyed having Michael (Boba) Adams looking after things. Perhaps by now he will understand why we call him 'It's Adama now'! (Caprica in-joke for you uber-geeks) We'd love to extend a warm thank you to him and his efforts, and hope, that one day, he'll fire up the Slave 1 and return to us. This week, it might be a good idea just to have a look around at the awesome late week slate on SCI FI and say...
The Week in Geek Issue #10
*taps microphone* This thing on? Testing, testing? Yes dear readers, we have returned - like some hideous eldritch horror from a Stygian tomb, or Great Cthulhu rising from his watery grave to bring forth nightmarish visions upon the world.... Or if you prefer we're like one of those things that just won't go away, like spam emails or that neighbour with the leaf blower at 8am Saturday morning... Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Anyhow, we're back and raring to get back into what we do...
David Blue: What Would You Gate With You?
David Blue submits to our intense psychological profiling that comes with finding out just WHAT exactly he would take with him if he could when gating to the other side of the Universe. Never afraid to ask the important questions, Sci Fi Pi has the answers you crave. Be amused, intrigued, informed, and if you hate pepperoni on your pizza, disgusted. It's part of our ongoing 'What Would You Gate With You?' Q&A's with the cast members of Stargate Universe, celebrating the return of the most...
Does "Hive Mind" Have The Worst Trailer Ever Made?
We've all wondered what we'd do if we were among the last people alive after an apocalypse. From The Stand to The Omega Man to some of the best Twilight Zone eps, it's informed a lot of great sci-fi. But now the concept has resulted in a movie called Hive Mind that may just have the worst trailer I've ever seen. Now, there are a lot of terrible films made every year, but most often the people behind them are at least savvy enough to put together a promo that looks enticing. Not so this time. Judge...
Last Chance To Watch SGU Ep 12
All good things must come to an end and the same's true of SCI FI having SGU episodes up in Spectrum for you to watch free and legal. But it's not over yet! SGU's Episode 12 is up for your watching -- or re-watching -- pleasure until 7.30pm April 24. But it's the last one we'll be able to post. Sob. But what better way to prep for tonight's premiere episode 13 than with a viewing?! Go on, you've put in some long hours this week, you deserve it. [spectrum=22FDA668]
