This AI-generated chapter of a made-up Harry Potter novel gave me multiple belly-laughs... http://botnik.org/content/harry-potter.html

Like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-ray won't have a Marvel One-Shot. I really enjoy these things, so please Santa, let these mini-movies return in future releases.

Or perhaps this recent restoration?

This caught me completely off-guard this morning: http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=8874 Complete scores to Superman I-IV plus the animated series from the late 80's, all newly remastered from original elements. Superman: The Movie replaces the previous out-of-print 2-disc...

Frak! Well, I got to the last disc in the Battlestar Galactica television series, popped it in, and my player said "Can not play this disc." I tried it two more times before giving the disc a look, and guess what? There was a huge crack running radially from the center hub outwards on one side...

I've finally gotten around to wanting to pick up The Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness to compliment my "Book of the Dead" version of the original The Evil Dead DVD. But there are several versions of each floating around out there and I don't know which one to buy. Since I value the opinions...

Okay, whoever can answer this one gets a cookie. In the "Inside Starfleet Archives" featurette from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2 collection, the woman shows off a shooting model of the Galaxy-class U.S.S. Enterprise-D, but with an "NCC-1701-E" decal on the front of the saucer instead...

In order to refresh my creative juices for a Star Trek parody novel I'm writing, I made myself sit through Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (yeah, I know... blech). But then, near the end, I heard an actual sound effect from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was during the sequence where the shuttlecraft...

I just finished watching The World at War series, which I haven’t seen since I was a child. It was, in a word, awesome. I learned so much about World War II that my head spun, but now everything makes sense and I feel enriched by it. I’d rank this series right up there with a few others in my...

I was watching Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home for the six millionth time and suddenly understood what the metaphorical time travel sequence was trying to depict. If you’ll recall, this is the one where the crew of the late starship Enterprise travel back in time to find some humpback whales...

Hey, this is great! It's the original version of Star Wars animated with ASCII art! And the best part is, Greedo doesn't shoot first! http://www.asciimation.co.nz/ Too bad it stops when Ben Kenobi is about to go shut down the tractor beam on the Death Star. But overall, it's a royal hoot. Enjoy.

In The French Connection, check out the scene where they are unloading the car from the ship in New York City. When the camera pulls back from the bad guys observing this activity, you can plainly see in the distance one of the World Trade Center towers being constructed. Although not yet...

Last night I had an amazing realization. At last count I own 216 DVDs, most of which are some type of special edition. I have watched every single disc at least once; I have watched the vast majority of them three or more times. However, the amazing part came when I hunted through my entire...

I recently enountered a post I had made to a newsgroup many, many moons ago... January 19, 1995 to be exact. It's long, but occasionally funny. In light of the recent Enterprise announcement, I thought it would be nice to remember the original Star Trek for a moment... The Top 100 Reasons Why...
