The Four Of Us Are Dying

This is what happens when you download the new, free Nine Inch Nails album "The Slip" (from nin.com) and spot the lovely Creative Commons licence that actively encourages derivative works and sharing. You go and grab some public domain film footage from The Internet Archive – in this case the awesome "Perversion For Profit" propaganda – and you throw the lot together to produce a video for the track "The Four Of Us Are Dying". Well, you do if you’re me. Please note: whilst not explicit this video does contain footage that could be described as titillating to those of you of Amish...

Exclusive X-Files Merchandise

If you’re a fan of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson’s characters of Mulder and Scully then it probably won’t have escaped your attention that The X-Files: I Want To Believe is hitting cinemas right about now. It certainly didn’t escape the attention of neOnbubble Movie Merchandising And School Dinners Enterprises GmbH who have teamed up with Fox (the company, not the character) to produce a web-only (no shops would stock them!) exclusive line of X-Files related gifts. If you’re an X-Files fan then you can’t not possibly not want to not miss out on not purchasing one of these top quality products. David Duchovny’s The X-Files: I Want To Beekeep If you’ve ever wondered just why it is that Mulder repeatedly talks about bees during X-Files episodes then wonder no more! In real life David Duchovny is a keen apiarist and he reached an agreement with series creator Chris Carter during the second season to slip in bee references in return for all the honey Carter could eat. Now you can keep bees just like David with this officially licensed beginner’s beekeeping kit from neOnbubble Movie Merchandising And School Dinners Enterprises GmbH. Included in David Duchovny’s The X-Files: I Want To Beekeep is: 1 Duchovny Class Hive 8 Deep Waxed Frames 8 Medium Waxed Frames Entrance Reducer Porous Bee Gloves with embroidered David Duchovny signature 8" Hive Tool Stainless Steel Smoker Beekeeping Outfit with X-Files patch on the back It’s true! David likes honey with his Tea! Agent Dana Skully Having your very own lifesize and anatomically-correct Agent Dana Scully doll that you cared for, talked to, dressed, and kept with you in the bedroom at night – to protect you from the Greys! – would be just plain weird and if there’s one thing that X-Files fans aren’t then it’s just plain weird. But they are a tad weird and that’s why any X-Files fan worth his or her salt will just be dying to part with their money for this skinless, head-only replica of Gillian Anderson’s FBI agent, punningly named "Agent Dana Skully". With realistic hair and a permanent doubting look across the plaster skull’s brow it will be just like having the character in your own home if you lived the life of a serial killer. For quality X-Files movie merchandise you simply cannot beat neOnbubble Movie Merchandising And School Dinners Enterprises...

Top 10 Science Fiction Outfits

Top 10 Science Fiction Outfits

Having recently watched Tin Man (and enjoying it despite the flaws, or maybe because of them, or maybe because of Kathleen Robertson, hubba hubba, yes probably that last bit) it occurred to both me and my other half that you get some bloody great clothing designs in the world of science fiction. Obviously, you also get Gil Gerard in white spandex in Buck Rogers, but let’s gloss over that and think happy thoughts instead. Now, since my Hottest Sci-Fi Babes Ever article continues to get good traffic (who’d have thought that a post containing the words "hottest" and "babes" would do so well on the web?) it seems only right and proper and easy (never forget the easy part) to supplement it with a rundown of what I consider to be the best outfits, costumes, or uniforms from the world of science fiction, on television or in film. And, just so we’re clear before we start: no, I’m not gay, but I do play a metrosexual on the internet. 10 Character: Azkadellia Actress: Kathleen Robertson TV Show/Film: Tin Man Azkadellia gets to wear a plethora of wonderful outfits in this TV mini-series. The chain mail look, the feathered look, the rather tasty black number with the weird upturned collar that looks like it’s there to prevent her from biting her skin while she heals after a trip to the vets, and, of course, as pictured, the medieval knight chic look. Combining style with practicality is always important for a sorceress ruler of any outer zone and Azkadellia combines both here with a colour that’s flattering to her skin tone and hair and the common sense protection against neck-level sword-swings that can often spell the end to any reign of terror. 9 Character: Robert A. Fett Actor: Jeremy Bulloch TV Show/Film: Star Wars Boys love playing with their toys and you don’t get a better toy than a fricking jet pack! With a flame-retardent cape billowing out behind you you’ll look only slightly like a multi-coloured Lego explosion being tossed through the air as you soar through the sky in your bounty hunter costume. But who cares! You’ve got a fricking jet pack! 8 Character: Tron Actor: Bruce Boxleitner TV Show/Film: Tron The Matrix would have you believe that inside the computer the world is just like our own but Tron got there first and Tron knew better. It’s dark inside a computer and it’s full of dust. That’s a recipe for disaster when it comes to avoiding getting lost. Unless your uniform of choice has glow-in-the-dark strips woven into it, that is. Great for nightclubbing too. 7 Character: Necromonger...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andy Fanton’s trailer for the Lord Likely website for encouraging me to do the same. At the time it was released I thought to myself: "I’m going to do me one of them there trailer things later this week by Heavens!" And a fraction shy of five months later(*) … here it is! Because every website needs its own trailer. (*) In software development terms the phrases "later this week" and "five months later" are...

Eurovision 2008

It’s Eurovision Song Contest Party Time. Brown and orange paint for the living room? Check! Beige polyester trouser suit that hugs alluringly around the most manly of areas? Check! Vesta Chicken Supreme meals, fondue, vol au vents, cheese and pineapple on sticks? Check! Advocaat, Babycham, Cinzano, Creme de Menthe? Check! For me, every Eurovision is the 1970s in one day. It’s time for the Eurovision Song Contest to roll around once more and this year I’ve gone all technical and decided to live tweet the event on my Twitter at the annual neOnbubble Eurovision House Party. If you want to follow me then subscribe away there or, better, pop along to Summize during the event and follow everyone who’s everyone tweeting the spectacle. Of course, if Twitter goes down like it has during both semi finals then the fallback position will be Friendfeed’s Search or Friendfeed Eurovision Room. What Is The Eurovision Song Contest? For one evening a year wars in Europe stop. Burglars slink back to their homes. The homeless set their braziers on Cosy and gather around obsolete television sets set up on bricks. The camped crusader Captain Camp emerges from the shadows of night and casts a magical spell over the continent. Sure, some people reject the lure of the Eurovision Superhero and complain bitterly that they don’t see the point or that the whole event is ludicrously crass but the point they miss is that it really does have no point on purpose and is deliberately ludicrously crass and that’s its charm. Regardless, once Sunday blossoms and Europe returns to normalcy those who complained are typically first against the wall. Eurovision takes the form of songs, performed one after another by each European nation to have qualified. Attempts to sing all the songs together were deemed a violation of basic human rights in the sixties. There are limits on the number of performers and tunes praising Hitler’s extermination of the Jews are generally frowned upon but, otherwise, the sky’s the limit. Ballads, gay eurobeat, transgender heavy metal, puppets on fire, and Celine Dion: anything goes! At the end of the songs all European viewers can vote by phone for any country other than their own, the scores are tallied, and the winner is showered with praise and glory and balloons and coupons with their home country then winning the expensive honour of hosting the competition the next time around. Eurovision Problem #1: Bloc Voting "Bloc voting makes a mockery of the competition!" Bollocks. Bloc voting is the myth that people from Latvia vote for the Lithuanian and Estonian songs and vice versa not because they’re...
