Jodorowsky’s Dune — trailer
This is quire possibly one of the greatest movies never made, and now there is a documentary about it! I became aware of this, I think, because of pictures from Starlog magazine. Or maybe as I was discovering things about the making of Alien. Or maybe it was from a book of essays by Frank…

VIDEO: GRAVITY’s short film companion piece, “ANINGAAQ”
I love stuff like this. I love stories from the other side. Stories that explore someone’s reaction to someone else’s story. In the movie Gravity, there is a scene when Sandra Bullock makes radio contact with earth. I’m not going to say much more, because I don’t want to spoil it, but this short film…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier — Official Trailer!
It’s here! And man does it look good! Clearly, this is a movie about SHIELD. Nick Fury and Steve Rogers have a conversation that would fit right in with some of the things we’ve been talking about with Agents of SHIELD and their exploration of an organization without oversight. After the battle of New York,…

THE HOBBIT: DESOLATION OF SMAUG trailer!!!
I’m trying to decide if I’m excited about this movie. Watch the trailer here, then join the discussion below. I had some surprising feelings after watching it. The truth is, before seeing this trailer, I was! But now? As a trailer, it is lifeless. It is meant to get you excited about seeing Legolas. It…

A Christmas Carol . . . in KLINGON!!!
In researching A Christmas Carol, I came across this video from The Wall Street Journal. I’m not sure what’s stranger . . . A Christmas Carol in Klingonese or The Wall Street Journal reporting on it! Definitely worth watching the report. I don’t know if it is something anyone is still doing — the actual…

VIDEO: Star Wars Flash Mob (that’s not just costumes and light sabers!)
This one is pretty cool. Other flash mobs have been good, but this one takes it to a very cool level. And I think the lack of costumes makes it even cooler. There do seem to be a lot of cameras there, though (and not just from the spectators) . . .

MUSIC VIDEO: Red Shirts
Thought you Strangers and Aliens might appreciate this: This is actually a song that was written for a book called Redshirts by John Scalzi, which I have not yet had the pleasure (or displeasure, depending on how good or bad it may be) of reading. ~ Ben

Superman Teaser!
One of the things that excited me when I saw The Dark Knight Rises was the teaser for Man of Steel they played. They have two versions, apparently shipped out randomly with The Dark Knight Rises. I was worried about Man of Steel when I learned Zack Snyder was directing. I have not seen Watchmen.…

NEWS: New Promo Trailer for ARROW (the CW’s new Green Arrow series)
The fall 2012 season of the CW will still have a DC Comics superhero, just not Clark Kent. It’s Green Arrow. I thought it was going to be something just like Smallville. Green Arrow was a character ON Smallville for a number of years, after all. (Although whenever I watched, all I could think was…

VIDEO: “Happy Birthday David”, Prometheus Promo
If the movie Prometheus is just half as good as this “faux-commercial/short sci-fi film”, then I think sci-fi fans have something to look forward to. What strikes me is that this little promotional video, intended to generate interest in Ridley Scott’s prequel/not-a-prequel to his Alien movie, has a bundle of interesting ideas. Watching it, I…

VIDEO: Presenting Al and Jerry!
Coming to us from their starship, in the deepest space of deep space, Al and Jerry are the new spokes-creatures for the Strangers and Aliens podcast! They’ve recorded a few messages for us and beamed it to the Strangers and Aliens command center . . . They also did a promo for us about our…

TOTAL RECALL trailer: I recall seeing something like this before…
The trailer for Total Recall is out! And I have to say, in this geek’s opinion, it looks fantastic. Very, very different than the original, for sure. And yet, oddly the same. Phillip K. Dick’s story was the basis for the Arnold movie back in the day, and Arnold’s movie, despite being an Arnold movie,…

VIDEO: Superbowl Sci-Fi commercials!
The Superbowl is IN Indiana. But I honestly couldn’t care less than I actually do. I have no dog in this pony show. But. It’s a big event for commercials. All types of commercials. Especially for big budget movies. When you spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie, you need eyeballs to…

VIDEO: Tron: Uprising! (I added the exclamation point)
Tron is something I’d like us to tackle here at Strangers and Aliens sometime soon, even though the first movie is really old (by real time standards) and the second movie is really old (by American consciousness standards). Still, both Tron and Tron: Legacy were movie that I enjoyed, for different reasons at different times.…

VIDEOS: 2 Star Wars Videos
Two incredible Star Wars related videos surfaced last week. One is polished and high budget. The other is absolutely the opposite. And yet, both of them are worth watching. The first one will take you a minute. The second one, I suggest bookmarking and watching what you can, then writing down the time you stopped…

In includes interviews with Shatner, Nimoy, and Khan himself, Ricardo Montalban, and some recordings of Roddenberry speaking at a university (possibly because he was not involved in the making…
