David Cronenberg has to rank among the best directors not working nearly as often as he should though I must admit that I didn’t prefer his shift toward more realistic fare with movies like A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. It’s not those were movies were bad more than Cronenberg appeared to be like […]
I’ve never been a Star Trek fan, not really. Sure, I grew up watching Star Trek but that was more due to the fact that there was nothing else available. It’s the same reason I watched Lost In Space. I didn’t love it, particularly the later episodes, which were often silly, but it was also […]
Russell Davies created Queer As Folk (starring Aidan Gillan, Craig Kelly and a very young Charlie Hunnam) that ran from 1999-2000. Later, in 2005 he was an executive producer/writer on Doctor Who. Interestingly, if watch the first episode of the original Queer As Folk, there’s a scene where Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly) is watching Doctor […]
Star Trek is a mess. There, I’ve said it. It’s a Gordian knot of tangled timelines–Is it Prime? Is it Kelvin? Do you care any longer?–managed by people who apparently care more about monetizing it than actually building a living, viable world within its boundaries. I lean more into Gerry Anderson than Gene Roddenberry (I […]
I’ve always enjoyed British sci-fi. Reason being, it tends to be particularly dry and focus more on things like technology and hardware than it does on human emotions (they’re there but usually aren’t a priority). And sure, that can make for some particularly wooden television at times–check out the first season of Space: 1999. It’s […]
This is a fascinating trailer (and probably more interesting than any trailer has any right to be), so let’s start at the beginning. First off, take a gander at this. Why are they wearing these masks? It certainly isn’t for reasons of protecting against the introduction of bacteria because they have so many large holes […]
Currently King_Arthur’s Modular Eagle Transporter project over at LEGO Ideas has 2373 supporters–which is awesome and shows not only support for the great work he has done but much love for one of the most iconic spacecraft in science fiction. Above is a photo of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999 And here’re King_Arthur’s […]
Since joining Lego Ideas five years ago, the user known as King_Arthur has created other projects, but none has attracted as much attention as his most recent, which is a Lego-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999. Here is his version below, and I think you’ll agree it’s a pretty faithful reproduction. […]
Support LEGO potentially creating a LEGO-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999, one of the most awesome and iconic spaceships in television history. No matter if your preference is for the more cerebral Year One… Or more dynamic Year Two, you can’t go wrong. Though most fans of Gerry […]
Gerry Anderson, it could be argued, was one of the first producers of science fiction to see what a tremendous role hardware design, such as spaceships, could play. In virtually all his television series and movies, design has been crucial (more often than not, to the detriment of character development). In fact, the Eagle from Space: 1999, […]
