I was really surprised how many of these clips I recognized from some movie I really like, don't think of many of these movies as having "dance numbers," and I loved the sitcom that the video ends with:

Science Or Science Fiction? Faster Than Light Communication...
...albeit between two quantum entangled particles, the following has been proven:
"The results from the new experiment confirm one of the wildest predictions of quantum mechanics: that a pair of "entangled" particles, once measured, can somehow instantly communicate with each other so that their states always match."
No matter how far apart? How about 310 miles apart? The implications are amazing. So if we can ever travel great distances faster than the speed of light, can this phenomenon be used somehow to communicate instantaneously across great distances?

Speaking of Star Wars...
Patton Oswalt did a great, hilarious improvised bit that was Star Wars/Marvel-centric to say the least on Parks & Recreation:

Some Very Funny Unfunny Stuff...
Here's a clip of a very funny, unfunny stand-up routine from Britain's Got Talent:
Which of course made me think of the one of the funniest unfunny bits ever, Norm MacDonald's roast of Bob Saget:
And I was watching an episode of Supernatural when I was posting the above and the episode ended with the song Dear Mr. Fantasy, a song I really like, so, for a non-sequitur, here's that:

Not science fiction: faster than light warp drive goes from "impractical to plausible"...
...according to a scientist as NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. In fact they're going to do a small table-top experiment to test the theory, an "existence of proof" of the idea. Life/science imitating art/science fiction much?

Guardians of the Galaxy Movie, yeah, I'm pretty geeked about this...
...especially since James Gunn (writer/director of Slither, favorite of mine) is set to direct it and Chris Pratt (star of Zero Dark Thirty and Parks & Recreation) is set to star in the lead role as Star-Lord/Peter Quill.

Anyone else remember the Battleship Yamato from the TV cartoon Star Blazers (from the anime show Space Battleship Yamato) from the late 1970's?

SciFi Expo iphone photos
Kept on forgetting to put these up. The SciFi Expo in DFW was a few weekends ago. I had never been to any type of science fiction or comic book convention before. It was awesome. Needless to say I plan on going to the DFW ComicCon in May. Here's a pic from the SciFi Expo, a few more will follow:

Ben Affleck to Matt Damon: Suck it Jason Bourne, I have one more Oscar than you do!*
*at least that's what I hoped he would have said in his acceptance speech.

Do You Think They've Changed????
(this is a re-post from 10-20-08)
Mindy Green (featured in the first clip) is going to vote, does that scare anyone else besides me? It shouldn't matter if you are a Democrat or Republican or Independent, the type of ignorance displayed by some the people in the below clips should be combated at every turn by everyone.

X-Files - 2 Episodes In
Thoughts so far:
So, it's pretty straightforward so far. The X-Files premiered in Sept. 1993. Two episodes in it's holding up OK, except for the music, which is heavy on keyboards and dated, at least so far.
Plot lines so far:
Mulder believes his sister was abducted by aliens and Scully's been hired to keep track of Mulder's investigations.
Smoking Man has made at least one appearance but, has said nothing so far.
Deep Throat has reached out to Mulder and told him that "they have been here for a long, long time," of course referring to extra-terrestrials. Deep Throat also tells a lackey of his that the reason he keeps Mulder in the FBI and feeds him information is because it's smart to keep you friends close and enemies closer.
Mulder and Scully have investigated some kids that were abducted by aliens and had implants placed in the heads ("Pilot" Ep1) as well as some pilots that Mulder thinks have been affected by flying aircraft reverse engineered from alien tech ("Deep Throat" Ep 2).
Guest star(s) of note: Seth Green ("Deep Throat" Ep 2), with long hair, same height, looked pretty much the same as he does now.
