I watched this 150 minute film on DVD last night. I enjoyed it thoroughly, though many might not. Turner seems more like a "force of nature" in it than like other humans, and the strange controversies of the Academy are depicted in all its glory - RED DOT indeed!

I'm guessing this has already been shared, but just in case, here it is again. And, um, if this is factual (because too many sites make stuff up, for satire and other reasons):

1. The fan production must be less than 15 minutes for a single self-contained story, or no more than 2 segments, episodes or parts, not to exceed 30 minutes total, with no additional seasons, episodes, parts, sequels or remakes.

How can you make a decent trek story in 30 minutes? Animation maybe?

This is the silliest episode so far of my re-watching of TIME TUNNEL.

This is the silliest episode so far of my re-watching of TIME TUNNEL. They end up (via a space shipped ripped from DESTINATION MOON) on the airless moon, and have noisy gun and fist fights at a supply dump. Then, they refuel the very large spaceship using maybe a dozen scuba tank containers of propellant!

I've been watching repeats of the old Time Tunnel TV series. I loved this as a child though now I can see all the plot holes in each episode. However, I always loved the set of the tunnel itself.

Saw the film again the other day. This bit starts slow but it really gets to me when they seem to banging away on the tea pots. Of course this is the music for the Reavers vs the Alliance battle, so no wonder.

A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries and cares goodbye

It's a race, a race for rats

Goddess this Monday is NOT going well. Lots of stress over planning that trip right, and news of relevant celebrity death doesn't help.

I'm watching PS I love You on 9GEM just now. It's a love story featuring a dead partner (or the memory of him). It also has James Masters (Spike in BUFFY) in it, in an atypical role. I like it.

Originally shared by Kiefer Jackson (Fuze the Ferret)

So aside from being a Trekkie, I'm also a furry. Thought I share a piece of art I purchased of my character last year. Green ferret, 24th century timeline. Rank Captain.

His personality is cool headed, strict, and calculative. Hence why I made him this position. If I had a starship, it would be an Intrepid Class.

Sometimes the world seems like this.

NFO Art!

NFO Art!

.nfo files were early information files for DOS, often included with software archives and used to describe the contents. I can remember bicycling to WAIT (now Curtain University) with a pack of 5.25" floppies and browsing through the archives they had there for useful programs.

Of course the thing about NFO (and DIZ) files was that they were all text, using ASCII values. Because the IBM and IBM Clone PCs had an extended ASII set, you could include special characters which might have symbols, tones, or single/double borders. You can see some of these in this example.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce new album and concert film | Double J

I listened to some of this in the early hours of this morning. I absolutely loved "Constellation 2". The I went back to sleep and dreamed a strange extended dream about a McGyver convention where the actual character himself (not the actor) was attending. I woke up to the last 30 minutes of this as well and as the rhythm softly faded out I though of Xena, gently drifting off off from life, and shed some tears.
