‘”Manos”: The Hands Of Fate’ Being Restored For Blu-ray Release

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 03:00 PM PST

Manos The Hands of Fate

There are far worse movies in the world than "Manos": The Hands of Fate, the only film in the history of cinema made by an El Paso, TX fertilizer kingpin on a budget of $19,000 with a hand-cranked camera and a cast of hippie freaks and suicidal acid heads. But "Manos" remains the popular choice among fans of both Skid Row filmmaking and Mystery Science Theater 3000, the show that brought Hal Warren's obscure abortion of a horror flick back into the public eye. You can read my review of the recent DVD release of the MST3K version here [...]

Comic Review: The Adventures Of Alibi Jones

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 12:51 PM PST

The Adventures of Alibi Jones

The Adventures Of Alibi Jones
Written and Lettered by Mike Luoma
Art by Meisha, Federico Guillen, and Rhys Ap Gwyn
Earthbound Comics
Release Date: September 25, 2011
Cover Price: $2.99

It's not often that you find a standalone issue of a comic whose story is long enough to satisfy. Publishers try this from time to time, but often the stories feel rushed and uninvolved. In issue one of Earthbound Comics' The Adventures of Alibi Jones, we get not one but three stories in just over 40 pages that not only satisfy, but leave you wanting more.

Sci-fi fans who crave futuristic space epics should definitely check out The Adventures of Alibi Jones #1, where we meet Alibi in the year 2135. He works as a Mediator for the Solar Alliance Interplanetary Force, negotiating treaties between humans and aliens. The stories find Alibi uncovering a heinous plot in "Blind Eye"; meeting his father as a young child in "Father's Day"; and discovering the perils of time travel in "About Time." [...]

Fans, Neil Gaiman Help Bring Justice To Professor Threatened With Criminal Charges For ‘Firefly’ Poster

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 08:00 AM PST

Firefly Captain Malcolm Reynolds

Back in September a story caught fire about a theater professor named James Miller at the University of Wisconsin–Stout who was threatened with criminal charges after intellectually challenged campus police removed a completely harmless Firefly poster for referring to killing, despite the fact that the poster actually stood for being fair and honorable.

The university stood behind the decision, and quite the battle unfolded as the professor sought his rightful freedom of speech. Then FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) got involved and contacted the university about stopping this nonsense, with no success, and so, being Firefly fans themselves, they took to the internet. [...]

Queen

The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Queen's Greatest Hits II for only $3.99.

This hits album contains 17 great tunes from the classic rock band's extensive back catalog. Since this is the second volume, songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You" aren't on this one (that's on Greatest Hits I), but you will get great tunes like "A Kind Of Magic," "Under Pressure" (featuring David Bowie), "Who Wants To Live Forever," "The Show Must Go On," and "Radio Ga Ga," all of which make the $4 price a steal for this album.

If you'd like a physical copy of Greatest Hits II, the CD is available for only $9.32. There's also a 2-CD set, Queen: Greatest Hits I & II, that's only $9.60 [...]
