I don't have cable right now so I'm rewatching old shows and movies. A lot of them are animated. Such is my way. I'd like to have a nobler reason for rewatching them--something like when James 
Let's say you're the newly-sentient internet. How would you decipher
the meaning of all the bits and bytes whizzing past you? And what about
the real world outside your electronic realm?
Former Comics Editor, Guy Leshinski
has very kindly given us permission to reprint a prophetic interview
with Bryan Lee O'Malley in 2005. Will Bryan Lee O'Malley attain the
Holy Grail of cartoonists? As Bryan says, "We'll see..."

Another Interview with Ray Harryhausen
The BBC has a nice interview with Ray Harryhausen, Stop-Motion and SFX Overlord!
The Sound of Our Impending Future!
Teleport City is preparing the way for the future and/or retro-future we've all been waiting for. Pack your go-bag to "Music for Departure Lounges" and taxi your way on out with "Music for Espionage and Space Defense."
"Alien 0 or Alien 5?"
Continuity's at risk in the new Alien prequel. Faced with "the space jockey," xenomorph eggs in the cargo hold and what the corporation knew and when they knew it, Martin Anderson foresees "some nasty acts of canon-hacking."
Choosing the Moon
Apollo 11 lands on the moon again in real time at We Choose the Moon. (via farlane.blog)
"The Passage of Light"
Spectacular nebulae, space battles and workaday freight hauling at this amazing gallery of science fiction art.
Where X-Men Have Gone Before
Wolverine snikkts at Spock! Gladiator punches the Enterprise! Star Trek/X-men is crazy!
Ricardo Montalbán, RIP
Ricardo Montalbán has died. Gutter fans probably remember best his roles in Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, Fantasy Island and Spy Kids, but Montalbán had a long career and also worked hard to combat stereotypical depictions of Latinos. Linda Holmes writes about Montalbán trapped on Fantasy Island in obituaries. In a film geek version of a 21 gun salute, Turner Classic Movies will honor Ricardo Montalbán with a movie marathon.
Watch the Skies!
The Telegraph watches the skies with 140 years of UFO photographs.
Imperial Fleet Week
Imperial Fleet Week in San Francisco. (Or possibly an occupation).
An Engineer and a Dreamer
Sad news: Arthur C. Clarke, science fiction writer and inventor/scientist, died recently - at the age of 90, he had a full life, but it's still a great loss. To mark his passing, I picked up my favourite of his books, Childhood's End, and gave it a re-read. Some of his other accomplishments, like his work on 2001: a space odyssey, might be more famous, but Childhood's End has always hit me hardest.

Relative Dimensions
So much geekiness is at your disposal with Jeff Russell's Starship Dimensions. Now you can conveniently view the relative sizes of Farscape's Moya, a Vorlon transport from Babylon 5, the Eagle from Space 1999 and a rebel medical frigate from Star Wars. And that's not even bringing in Star Trek, Serenity or the Tardis. It's like the promise of the internet fulfilled. (Thanks, miss paula!)
Steam Trek
Steam Trek: The Moving Picture is a silent setting the starship Enterprise in the steam era. In space, no one can hear you--though the music cues are neat. Go here for a full version and here for more information. (Updated and thanks to Hellblazer.net).
The Grouchy Snob
When people find out that I like science fiction (and write about it), they often try to find a familiar example to talk about. This is a better reaction than to say, "Oh, that crap?" or something along those lines. But recently, the example has inevitably been Star Wars -- and what was up to that point a conversation motivated by polite interest threatens to go sour. Have you ever seen someone become a grouch and a snob at once? That's me on the topic of George Lucas.
The thing is, I'm a huge fan of spaceships and lasers and stuff blowing up in space.
