Toyota's Running Humanoid Robot

It runs.

As in run — like when these things eventually take over and start running door-to-door to kill all of us annoying humans.

omg, I am so glad I will not be around when this stuff goes mass market. Would you not agree with me on that one?

It's Official: Ridley Scott To Direct Alien Prequel

So says Variety.

First, there were rumors. And we tossed the idea around several times during the past few months. It still hasn't really sunk in... the man behind one of the greatest science fiction films of all time is back and signed-on to direct — not produce, direct — another Alien film, this time a prequel. It's almost eerie.

Now granted we can all sit around and argue the case for or against an Alien prequel concept but let's not forget one upside: Ridley Scott is in charge, meaning this will not be Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, or another AVP caliber hack-job. At the very least we'll get some amazingly epic visual stimulation in a science fiction universe. How can that be bad?

I will be honest here and say I have my doubts about Scott topping himself with a new chapter in the Alien saga. The first film, which the man directed at age 40, was and still is an epic masterpiece. And if we're all going to be honest then we would have to agree: few sci-fi films can even sit on the same shelf as Alien much less reside in the same room (no, not even Cameron's Aliens, sorry.) Scott repeating such magic would be akin to AC/DC recording another Back In Black. It's just not gonna happen.

But — it still might be pretty good!

So what do you think? Can the 71 year-old filmmaker pull it off? Will Giger be involved? Will we pay witness to some Space Jockey greatness? God almighty, so many questions. I can't wait to hear more on this as the production gets underway...

District 9: Even Better Than Expected...? Headed For Legendary Status...?

"Massawyrm" over at Ain't It Cool News is going a bit ape over the upcoming film District 9. Check this out:

District 9 is a landmark film that will heretofore be spoken of alongside such films as Aliens, The Thing and 2001. What you have seen thus far has not entirely prepared you for it, as it has been a bit deceptive – both in its favor and against. You see, this is not another Mockumentary. This isn’t Cloverfield.

Good god, that is some seriously glowing praise right there. He also states "This film isn’t simply recommended – it is required viewing that will in short order become part of the geek canon."

To read the rest of Massawyrm's comments regarding the movie — which are pretty much spoiler-free by the way — click here.

I don't know about you but I am even more jazzed about seeing this sucker now!

UFO Coverup Documentary "Out Of The Blue" Is Something You Must Watch (Part 1 of 9)

I've watched my fair share of UFO-related specials and documentaries over the years but I have to say — Out Of The Blue, a program which aired on Sci-Fi Channel — is certainly one of the very best.

Focusing on the most explosive UFO-related "events" (can't say they are 100% real since we obviously do not have proof) and the coverup efforts of government, Out Of The Blue covers a lot of ground. It's just fascinating!

The program is represented via YouTube in nine parts. I will post one part each day starting today.

I'm being serious here. You owe it to yourself to watch this. Prepare to be captivated...
