RevolutionSF Newsblast is your home for value-added sci-fi journalism. Our opinions are the right ones, or your money back. Today's sponsor: Some dude tries to punk out Einstein.
He says light moved faster at the beginning of the universe, but big whoop. Of course it did. Less stuff to bounce off back then. Where's my phD, Mr. Smarty Britches?
Nerds With Guns
If you are both a nerd and someone who has access to firearms, this story is for you. Artist
Olly Moss designed a series of target outlines good for printing out and shooting. They include Freddy Krueger, Darth Vader, and my personal favorite, a Space Invader.
Human-shaped targets are for losers. But I would never tell shooters that, because they have guns. (link thanks to Sci Fi Wire)
Mutant Chronicles Movie Will Be Awesome, Surely
Surely, something with Ron Perlman in it must be good. It's
Mutant Chronicles. It got a distributor, so surely we'll be able to gush about it soon. It has the former Punisher, Thomas Jane, and John Malkovich. It adapts a 1993 non-video dice and paper
role-playing game. What could possibly go wrong? ABC could air it, everyone could love it, and then they could can cancel it, that's what.
Pushing Daisies Last Episodes Denied Us
Speaking of things we'll never see: Buried amid questions about
Ugly Betty is this terrifying news about
Pushing Daisies: No more of the remaining episodes are schedules to air. Thanks, ABC! We didn't want to enjoy this awesome show anyways.
Flash Forward Not About The Flash
Brannon Braga, who survived the Berman era of
Star Trek says his pilot
Flash Forward resets every season. It's about people who get a flash of premonition, and at season's end, the premonitions come true. Each season will start with new flashes. Of course, ABC must decide to air the show first. Or not air it,
like they did the last three episodes of Pushing Daisies, the Pushing Daisies-denying bastards.
