BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

Everybody and their  momma has a best of list for 2008 so I figured i would add my $.02 .   

Best Film:   The Dark Knight Returns - half a billion in sales speaks for itself.   Ironman was a close second.

Best Comic:  Thor

Best Comic Mini Series/Event:    Black Panther: Secret Invasion -  Best mini of the year and the best quote ”This is what happens when you mess with Wakanda”  

Best Televison Show:   Terminator -  The Sarah Conner Chronicles -  I know the ratings aren’t where they should be but ratings aren”t equivalent to quality (Dancing with the Stars).    I think the move to Friday night will make a difference.   It will give all of you watching the highly over-rated “Chuck” a chance to watch.

Thats my take on 2008.    If you disagree your wrong,  if you agree your a genius (but I dont need to tell you that, because  you already know everything)

Old School Scifi Trailer: Total Recall

One of Arnold’s best flicks, and a scifi classic.

It’s in Japanese, but you get the picture.  I think as crazy as this sounds, it looks interesting.  I think it looks better than that stuff the people doing Dragonball has been putting out.

If Michael Bay delivers the way he did in the first movie, I wouldn’t be surprised if they set box office records.  I do wonder why they let so many images leak so early.  Click the images for a closer look.

Thundercats Movie

Don’t worry. This is a fake trailer made by a fan using clips of Vin Diesel, Hugh Jackman, and various other actors from different roles mashed up into a trailer. I liked it at first, but after watching a couple of times, I thought it was stupid. Some people like it and think it’s cool. Not me.

Old School Trailer of the Week- E.T.

This is still a wonderful movie, despite some of the changes Speilberg made in the 20th anniversary edition. One of the things that sticks out to me about this trailer is John Williams score in the background reminds you of how good Williams is.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Old school trailer of the week. Possibly the greatest Sci-Fi movie of all time. And one of the creepiest conversations of all time.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

What’s the problem?

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

What are you talking about, HAL?

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, HAL?

I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.

Where the hell’d you get that idea, HAL?

Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

Three months ago, Lobo posted a story saying that there was going to be a relaunch of the Black Panther.  The story behind that was that T’Challa would be replaced by a woman. Now, we think that that woman is going to be Echo.  Apparently, after Dark Reign (if you don’t know what that is, go grab the one shot) Echo, also known as Ronin, quits the Avengers only to end up in Wakanda after T’Challa is attacked.  Given, she is Hispanic-Native American, but could this spell the end for Black Panther as a viable comic book series?  Who really knows who Echo is?  I am not completely against it, but this move somewhat vexes me.  Are there any other women who could be the Black Panther?  Storm?   But other than Echo, is there any one remotely qualified?  Probably not.  So, we will have to see.
