Hey, peeps! Happy U.S. Presidential Election Voting Day!
It's a great day to be an American. This is, perhaps, our most sacred day, going to the polls and casting the votes for our future leaders. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or whatever else suffices for a political party out there, I certainly wish you well. Get out there. Cast your ballot. Make a difference. And graciously accept winning or losing no matter how much it may personally affect you: at the end of the day if we're all still breathing, consider that a win.
Not all that much to report from SciFiHistory.Net Headquarters today, but I did put up a series of small(ish) posts on the MainPage area of the Site. Nothing all the grand or earth-shaking, per se, though I suspect some of you might find something of merit if you take a gander. Naturally, I'll put up more if I see something worthy of our collective attention. Here's just a summary below of what you have waiting for you if you dare:
Real-Life Stormtroopers Stops Real-Life Wrong-Way Driver!
This is one of those heartwarming stories that makes the Web from time-to-time: an off-duty police officer who happens to be in her Star Wars costume happens across a crime-in-progress and saves the day. These aren't the droids you're looking for, I'm told.
1985's 'My Science Project' Coming Home For The Holidays
Kino Lorber has a vast library of flicks from the past, and whenever I see one that falls into the realm of Science Fiction and Fantasy I'm willing to give it a shout. This 1985 flick wasn't as grand as it could've been, but it maintains a solid cult status for those who know it.
Talk About Your 'Mint Condition,' Check Out The New Zealand Mint!
I mention in this blurb that I've been meaning to give the New Zealand Mint a ShoutOut for some time, and what better time than the present wherein fans near and wide are prepping for some holiday shopping? Put Gold on the list, my dear. Gold!
1987's 'The Barbarians' Are Ready To Rumble ... On Blu-ray
It's rare that a legitimate Fantasy film be made and presented by folks who -- let's say -- didn't exactly take it seriously, but The Barbarians is that rare gem that's worth a single view. Well, why not make that view on Blu-ray? And it's just in time for the holidays, too!
Batman V. Superman Lands In The Emergency Room
The 2016 DC Comics flick from Zack Snyder suffered through an awful lot of hate, but must all of it be bad? It would seem that an ER doctor thought that the warehouse fight scene deserved a bit of medical attention, and I thought his diagnosis was worth sharing.
'Parallel' - What Would You Do With What You Knew?
Parallel universe stories have always been interesting, and this forthcoming release certainly has generated some positive buzz from showings on the film festival circuit. Coming attraction looks solid, so let's hope this one can go the distance.
