AMC Theatres is Planning to Shorten Its Pre-Show Ads Following Blowback From Studios Everyone who frequents movie theaters these days is well aware that when the lights dim, there’s still a fair amount of time before your movie begins. You have ads, trailers, and the theatre’s commercial...

Tonight's film: Holy Spider

Those dreamy swirling red clouds of the Imperial Vortex and over the moons of Mongo.

Absolutely! "Flash Gordon" was ahead of its time. It blended sci-fi with rock like few others. "The only thing I love more than you is me." What’s your favorite scene? 🪐📚 #SciFi #Flash

Lisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, claims that #PalestineAction "wishes harm on the British people."
That is simply false. It is yet another retrospective justification by this government for its unjustifiable ban on the group.

We are ENDING the age cap for ICE law enforcement. Qualified candidates can now apply with no age limit.

And this tells you that they are lying about being overwhelmed with applicants. If they had record number of applicants, they wouldn’t need to ask retired agents to return or have to relax the maximum age restriction. Media will likely not even make this connection.

‘Alien: Earth’ Is a Terrifying Prequel With a Surprising Set of Interests: TV Review FX's addition to the "Alien" franchise, a prequel created by Noah Hawley, is a terrifying dystopia with a surprising set of interests.

The reviews for Alien Earth are in, and obviously, some people loved it, others didn't, etc. What stands out to me is that everyone says Noah Hawley is using Alien as a springboard for something else in the sci-fi genre. Which is exactly what I expect from a series set in the Alien universe. Not...

Preordered the moment we saw it listed - never heard of it, no idea what we are in for, but archive retro sci-fi is always a BIG FAT YES!
