Hamill may have not gone on to huge movie fame like his Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford, but a look at his IMDB entry lets you know he has been plenty busy doing voice work for animated programs.  Looking at his resume, I get the feeling that he does whatever he enjoys doing.  There are movies, there are cartoons, there are Broadway shows… he’s all over the map.  He’s going to appear on “Chuck” this season.  And very impressive, at least by Hollywood standards, is the fact that he has been married to the same woman since 1978!

So Happy Birthday, Mark Hamill.  Maybe I’ll go watch “Corvette Summer” in your honor.  Naw… I’ll go watch “The Big Red One” instead.  (Hey, I just watched the original trilogy on Blu Ray last week… I need something new!)

If all goes well, we might see a feature film by 2012.

I really hope that “comes in threes” business isn’t true.

But I suspect that most people forget about Forbidden Planet:

Forbidden Planet has always been one of my favorite “old school” Sci-Fi movies. That invisible monster creeped me out pretty good when I was a kid…

Leslie Nielsen deserves a nod from the Sci-Guys for his great work in that classic film, and of course, his delivery of the funniest movie line in history:

Shirley, we’ll all miss you.

Check your Netflix watch instant queue. Look for any TV series on there. Almost all of them in my queue are now showing “coming soon”. Just yesterday I tested an episode of Lost on my iPad’s netflix app. Today? NOT AVAILABLE.

I suspect that the companies controlling this content (ABC, NBC, FOX) have pulled the content to make way for the rumored new Hulu pay service, which will probably be announced for the XBOX at E3 next week.

I hope this is just a glitch or a blip on the RADAR, maybe it is just me.  But if not, then there are not two ways about it. This is a disaster for Netflix. I boo thee.

EDIT: Maybe it isn’t the end of the world: netflixhelps twitter feed says they are working on it. AND now confirm it is NOT a content issue, but a technical one. Whew…

UPDATE: Things appear to be back to normal. Crisis averted. BUT FOR HOW LONG?

In Las Vegas over the weekend? Then stop by 66 Spectrum Blvd. for an auction of galactic proportions. Star Trek: The Experience was in the LV Hilton until 2008, but now a piece of it can be in your home tomorrow! Click here or the pic for more details.

4chan meme, Pedobear, used to ID Internet loli-trollers has mistakenly been grouped with the Vancouver Winter Olympic mascots. Oops. We thought the Olympics would be a black hole for Sci-Guys news…but we were wrong. The full story is here.

Sci-fi issues a one-two punch to the secular world as not one, but two icons are knighted by none other than the Queen herself. Both Peter Jackson and Patrick Stewart add “Sir” to their monikers. Kinda classes the place up a bit. Could Sci-Bot 9000 be next? We are not holding our collective breath. More details here.

Professor Carol Tilley, said “Although they’ve long embraced picture books as appropriate children’s literature, many adults – even teachers and librarians who willingly add comics to their collections – are too quick to dismiss the suitability of comics as texts for young readers.”

So keep on reading those comics with the kids, bub.
