7 Sci-Fi Series Ripe for Movie Reboots

Posted by Johnny Cat in Movies & SciFi, Video Clips on November 19, 2009 at 4:44 pm

space1999Cinematical has a list of ideas for making movies based on classic 20th century TV shows.  A couple of these I’d never seen, but I definitely remember tuning in to see Martin Landau and company fight to survive each week on Moonbase Alpha (Space:1999, pictured).

The list includes Earth 2, The Six Million Dollar Man, and others with video clips of their opening sequences.  Here’s author Kevin Kelley’s take on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century:

We just want to see Buck back on the big screen, where he has never really been (the original TV pilot was edited into a theatrical release). Toss some up and coming young star with good looks and a strong chin in this, and revamp everything. Just keep the cool laser pistols in it, and for god’s sake don’t let Buck disco.

An impressive fan-made intro to that show…   Link to Cinematical.

Nixon's Enemies List

Posted by Miss Cellania in Politics on October 19, 2009 at 12:53 pm

During president Richard Nixon’s administration, he and his staff compiled a list of political enemies. How well do you know (or remember) this list? Take the challenge in today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss. My memory isn’t what it used to be; I only scored 50%. Link

Kids Albums from the Seventies

Posted by Queuebot in Music on May 6, 2009 at 2:09 pm

Remember the days before Nick Jr, Cartoon Network, video games, and iPods?  What did kids do for fun?  They listened to records! 

Here’s a bunch of interesting photos of kids music record covers.  Some of them have really neat cover art.  If you’re of the right age, they may bring back some memories… If not, just revel in the love of the 70s retro!

From Nancy Dorsner’s blog Dabbled:



Not long ago, my parents were cleaning out their attic, and sent me a bunch of old records (remember those things?) from when I and my brother were kids. I thought they were too cool not to share – some for the memories, some for the interesting album artwork.

A Soccer Fashion/Dance Video?

Here’s a bizarre and strange video where the presenters want you to see the latest and most fashionable Soccer uniforms and gear for the German clubs through dance! Mind you this is obviously weird because it’s from the 1970s and it’s from Germany. Those crazy crazy Germans. ;)
