I’m aging myself here, but I remember when the original V miniseries aired back in 1983. I was about 13 years old at the time. V was a huge deal for us young teens – everyone seemed to be talking about it.
Some 25 years later, I still remember the main characters from V: The [...]
OK, you know you’re getting old when cartoons you used to watch as a teen are now considered “retro cartoons.” Damn! Am I really middle aged already? I don’t feel it…and hopefully don’t look it! But we can still be thankful to Hulu for releasing Voltron for streaming on its site. Now, I’m not a [...]
I just watched Ghostbusters on YouTube – the full-length movie is available for free, with the minor annoyance of a few brief ads cutting through actual sentences here and there.
I love this movie. Right from the start, with the librarian dealing with a ghost who likes toying with books and card catalogs, it’s a ton [...]
Gotta love this made up “Thundercats movie” trailer. Using some great CGI they have made Thundercats out of Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, and Farscape’s Chiana:
Hulu is quickly becoming one of my favorite websites because I can watch a bunch of movies and TV on demand, without having to go out and get a rental or wait for whatever is in my Blockbuster queue to arrive. Here are a few things I’ve recently caught on Hulu:
The Fifth Element
Now a classic [...]
Since I’m in a cycle of reminiscence about the SF influences of my childhood at the moment, I thought I’d share Starfleet with you. I remember being so excited about it as a kid. The baddies were scary, with centipede mind control devises on their heads, not to mention their creep, insectoid ships.
And for some [...]
The Tomorrow People, Thames Television (A&E Home Video)
Starring Nicholas Young, Peter Vaughan-Clarke, and Elizabeth Adare
For those of us who tuned into “Nickleodeon” on weekday afternoons in the 1980’s, the US-formatted DVD release of “The Tomorrow People” is a blast to our Gen-X retro past. Yeah, the special effects were cheesy and the acting amateurish in that [...]
Now, does anyone else remember Samurai Pizza Cats? A groovy parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Personally, I loved it. It was anarchic and had a manic creativity that TMNT lacked.
The Pizza Cats, Speedy Cerviche (pronounced “ser-vee-chayâ€), Polly Esther, and Guido Anchovy, were a pizza delivery team during their down-time, and the rest of the [...]
A while back I watched A Scanner Darkly. While this is a good enough film (and yet another cinematic adaptation of a Philip K Dick novel), it’s certainly not the best film I’ve seen about fractured identities and perspectives that are warped by drugs or technology. Total Recall has much more fun with the
topic. Based [...]
Here’s a TV series I loved as a kid in the early eighties. Mighty Orbots was similar to Starfleet in that it involved a bunch of different machines that joined up to make one big, kick arse robot. But in this case, the machines are the characters themselves – Tor, Bort, Crunch, Bo and Boo. [...]
