This site is awesome! I've been checking out the drive in movie ad clips and the old commercials. Thanks for posting it. I'm sure I'll be spending alot more time there.  :)

If you love Hawaii 5-o, you'll love this site: even info on little known facts and the music behind the show!  Great.

Anytime.  Quackery is one of the few things that can push my buttons.  Pseudoscience is all fun and games until people start dying.

And science is oodles of fun.  Some of the best non-fiction on the 'net can be found every few weeks in the essays at Edge.org.

Everyone who's anyone is there.  Everyone who ever wanted to be anyone (that'd be me, I'm at least 20 publications, 20 IQ points, and two degrees out of the running) can read it.  Every few years, an essay here spawns a book that ends up earning a Pulitzer.

You also might consider looking into fan fiction.  It can be found mostly on the internet, just by typing in any movie name and fan fiction into a search engine.  Sometimes the writing leaves alot to be desired, as not everyone's writing skill level are standard.  But, having said that, there are alot of good stories.  I've read some for Titanic and Labyrinth that I liked, and there are thousands of more stories to be found if you willing to look.

Priority One broadcast to planetary civilization:  If over 30, do not attempt this with "kirk spock".  If under 20, same applies to "harry potter". 

Just trust me on this.

  OMG..!  You know, since I was a teen I had a sensation that Spock was teasing him, with a subtle homoerotic undercurrent. In fact, I think that might be an element of what made TOS so popular: the taste of the forbidden implicit in the show, which fascinated the lurid-minded youth of the Sixties...

  When I came across examples of the old Kirk/Spock  slash fiction from the Sixties and Seventies, which was possibly the first widespread slash fiction, I was confirmed in this theory.  Don't stare too long at the pic, k..?groove ;) on...

  I had no idea, but it's banned books week - drawing to a close, actually...

  From infoplease:

  "Sponsored by the American Library Association, the American Booksellers Association, and a variety of other groups, Banned Books Week (Sept. 23–Sept. 30, 2006) celebrates the first amendment right to free speech, which includes the right to read and write books that are considered unorthodox or controversial. A banned book is one that has actually been removed from a library or school system, a "challenged" book is the attempt to ban such material."

  Interesting information on Banned and Challenged books...

  ALA - Banned Books Week

  Read your favorite banned book and spit in the eye of goose-stepping, jackboot wearing Fascist thugs... :)

  groove ;) on...
