Long time readers know about my odd fascination with all of the awesome and horrid tidbits relating to the AvP franchise.
New Zealand’s Sky TV is running a fantastic promotional campaign for the airing of AvP, featuring the two beloved staples of sci-fi in some seriously non-threatening combat.
I still haven’t discarded my wish to hang out with Predator. I’m hardly worth the thrill of the hunt…I think we’d get along.
Well, here it is folks…my next car. I’ve often thought that Smart Cars would be unsafe, but a BATSMART is a different story.
Perfect superhero vehicle for a tiny woman like myself.
The LA Opera House is running a production of The Fly.
Yes, you read that correctly. The sci-fi classic first made in 1958, and remade in 1986.
To refresh your memory of the story:
Researcher Seth Brundle makes a stunning breakthrough in the field of matter transportation when he successfully teleports a living creature. Frustrated in his budding romance with a scientific journalist, and in need of a human subject, he recklessly attempts to teleport himself. An unseen fly enters the transmission booth as well, however, and Brundle soon realizes that his experiment has had “mixed” results.
They even have David Cronenberg on board as the director! There’s ONE day left of the performance when I get to LA this month.
And just for fun, Music for Maniacs recently posted about the production, along with some free fly-related song downloads.
[UPDATE] Got my tickets!
