Sci-Fi (Janeiro de 2009), (05 Pics)

History

The channel was launched on September 24, 1992 as a joint venture between Paramount Pictures, USA Networks, and Universal Pictures. In that time, network programming included the 1960s television series Dark Shadows, the film serial Flash Gordon, and other science fiction movies and series.

The channel was seen as a natural fit with classic film and television series that both studios had in their vaults, including Rod Serling’s Night Gallery (from Universal TV) and Paramount’s Star Trek and classic Universal horror films such as Dracula and Frankenstein. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and author Isaac Asimov were among those on the advisory board.

In 1997, Seagram, which bought MCA in 1995, purchased Viacom’s interest in USA and Sci Fi, and sold the networks to Barry Diller in 1998 to form USA Networks, Inc. Diller later sold USA’s non-shopping (film and TV) assets, including Sci-Fi, to Universal’s then-parent Vivendi Universal in 2002. Read more …

Scan - News Sci-fi (08 HQs Pics)

Science fiction (abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and capitalization) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves speculations based on current or future science or technology.

Science fiction is found in books, magazines, art, television, films, games, theatre, and other media. In organizational or marketing contexts, science fiction can be synonymous with the broader definition of speculative fiction, encompassing creative works incorporating imaginative elements not found in contemporary reality; this includes fantasy, horror, and related genres.

Science fiction differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature (though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation). Exploring the consequences of such differences is the traditional purpose of science fiction, making it a “literature of ideas”. Read more …

Top 25 Babes of Sci-Fi TV: Day 1

June 23, 2008 - There are a few essential elements of any good science-fiction tale: high-tech gizmos, like rayguns and spaceships; a sympathetic hero and a dastardly villain; exotic locales either in space or time (or both); and, last but not least, hot mommas, and lots, lots, lots of them…

That’s why a movie like 2001: A Space Odyssey winds up being more of an art film than a true sci-fi picture - because of the lack of babes. Where’s the Anne Francis type in that film, dutifully getting lusty for the captain of the ship, while showing as much teenage leg as possible?

From Roswell to Firefly, IGN travels the galaxy for some eye candy of the third kind. Read more …

Fantasy and Sci-Fi Together Again

Found this metallic foil art over at our friend’s place this weekend. Turns out she has been holding onto this gem since the 80s. It is a real treat to see dragons, fiery sci-fi landscapes and pilots coexisting in one fantastic, 3-d, shiny medium. Thanks Dorothy!

SYNOPSIS

During the opening credits, news of UFO sightings around the world appear.

Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) is a cab driver in Las Vegas, who is picking up and dropping off passengers to the UFO convention at the Planet Hollywood Casino and Hotel. One of his passengers is Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino), a failed scientist who is giving speeches about legitimate scientific theories of UFOs and outer space.

The next day Bruno is approached by two large men telling him that Wolff would like to see him. After fighting them, Bruno drives off, later noticing two children, Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) sitting in the back seat of the cab. They tell him they need to go to a certain destination and are willing to pay all they have ($15,000) to get there. They lead him to a run down house in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, Major Henry Burke (Ciaran Hinds) is searching for information on the two aliens that landed some days earlier.

When they arrive at the house, the children tell Bruno that they will be re-united with their relatives soon. Before leaving Bruno hears a crash coming from the house. He is startled to find them hiding behind a couch. Though grateful for his concern, the children tell him they must continue their journey without him, as they can trust no one. Nevertheless, Bruno decides to follow them, which leads him to the basement of the house. There the kids are pursued and attacked by a strange creature as they retrieve an object in a plant. They manage to escape from this creature. Read more …
