Tron Light Cycles

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

I saw this YouTube video this morning over on Frederator Studios and no matter how many times I see it, I still think it is cool.

While some selections are spot on (who can argue that “Tron” is not a benchmark of CG), some leave you scratching your head as to why they were listed instead of other films. For example, they list “Radioland Murders” but not “Toy Story”. Also, three of the films on the list haven’t been released yet. Huh?

Save “The Dresden Files”!

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

[Reposted Courtesy Slice of Scifi]

If all fans of “The Dresden Files,” which was canceled by The SCI FI Channel are serious about wanting to get their show back with all new episodes, there might be something you can do.

Taking a page from the “Save Jericho” script, one of our Slice of SciFi fans by the name of John VanSeters took our cue about Mike’s suggestion of sending drum sticks to the network to the next level and got SCI FI President Bonnie Hammer’s snail-mail address. The drum stick is an appropriate message to send to Hammer since Harry Dresden uses one for his magician’s wand.

You can mail those drum sticks to:

The Sci-Fi Channel
Attn: Bonnie Hammer, President
1230 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10020-1513

Now get those drum sticks going and don’t forget to print “SAVE DRESDEN” on each stick you sent to Ms. Hammer.

I didn’t have much of a doubt that it would, but this is fantastic news non-the-less.

Probably one of the funniest picks I have seen in a while.

A play on Star Wars fans’ nearly universal animosity towards the character Jar-Jar Binks and on the iconic image of the captive Han Solo resulted in Jar-Jar encased in carbonite.
