UPDATED THREAD.

The Sci Fi channel are showing a string of excellent movies at 3pm or 4pm on the +1 channel.

3pm/4pm Buffy the Vampire Slayer - See how the Buffy universe originally was before her complete TV makeover.

4.30pm/ 5.30pm: The Fifth Element - What Blade Runner would of looked like during the daytime.

7pm/8pm: Tron - Classic 80s sci fi before the days of CGI.

9pm/10pm Superman III - The decline of an excellent franchise, which had some really good ideas, especially the good versus evil Superman.

12.20/1.20 Night of the Comet: A cult comedy classic from the 80s, about 2 teenage girls who wake up to find every human being on the planet has been killed by a passing comet, so they have to fight against a bunch of cannibal zombies.
The original title for this film was Teenage Mutant Horror Comet Zombies, it`s a shame they changed the movie title.

On Thursday, there is another classic cult movie you should watch called, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, which is on at 7pm/8pm

Also My Stepmother is an Alien is on at 10pm/11pm straight after a sci fi TV series which is apparently a huge hit in the US called A Town Called Eureka.

Then on Friday, the excellent 80s comedy Weird Science is on at 10.50pm/11.50, but if you wait till Saturday from 5pm, you could have a Sci Fi triple bill, and watch Buckaroo Banzai, Spaceballs and Weird Science.

Dear god NO.

Even while watching it p***ed I couldn`t understand it, let alone wanting to watch it again.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Apple Computer reported today that it has developed computer chips that can be implanted and play music inside women`s breasts.

The music is in stereo, of course. This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts, and not listening to them.

Already had a complete run on Sky one. Only 11 episodes so far, and I haven`t heard anything about a second season. Anyone?

Looks interesting, and the film has had some positive reviews.

I read the book a few years ago - it was Garlands next book after the smash that was The Beach.

Very unimpressed by the book TBH. Caught a glimpse of the film when it was on during the week, and it looked like a dodgy made for tv movie

s*** book and s*** film as well.

Tonight on ITV4, Arnie Versus Satan in End of Days at 22:00.
