Or maybe being shot by one.” (Houston, TX) – “The next best thing to being a sci-fi or action hero has to be shooting a sci-fi or action hero with a gun.

The Classic Sci-Fi Action Movie (well, half an action movie): Aliens (1986)

…the suspense even more, but not the action. One aspect that I love in this film is the fact that Bill Paxton (known to me as dude from Twister) and a lot of the other guys freak out completely over the aliens; however, Ripley keeps her cool and proves that she has bigger balls than the rest of them by taking control of the situation and formulating a plan. Oh yeah and kicking some alien ass! BOOYAH! Sigourney Weaver is a hardcore tough chick thoug… Continue reading

…ered with comedic situations. Q. Science fiction is important to you. Your ScifiBabe project became Pink Raygun, a site focused on women’s views on speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror).

Pilot Review: Almost Human and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

IMG_20130719_145803

…st Human and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. FOX doesn’t have the best history with Sci-fi productions- the notable recent exception being the five season run of Fringe. So when I see a teaser and get excited, that excitement always dies when FOX is involved as the network. But I have now seen the full pilot episode for Almost Human and I have high hopes that FOX allows the show to be as awesome as it can be. Besides, it’s from J.J. Abrams… FOX seems to li… Continue reading

Looper (2012): You’ll Want to Stay in the Loop on this One!

…oper lives up to the hype; it’s a film that’s a reflective action movie, a sci-fi noir tale, and just a friggin’ good flick. There are many great things about Looper, the first of which I’ll mention being the performances. There aren’t words to describe just how well Joseph-Gordon Levitt portrayed a young Bruce Willis.

#FFF Fake Fangirl Friday: Geek Girls Exist! Do Fake Geek Girls Exist Too? Is It Fair to Ask?

…t me either way. BKSalmon: This geek test stuff is lame. I love comics and sci-fi but I also love weight lifting and 4x4ing. Pidgeon holing is pointless. bwitchdkitty: is that into it or away from it? CoriSeaSinger: What if they run squeeing? futuremonkey: At risk of seeming far more indignant than I actually am, doesn’t “geek test” seem a bit demeaning?
