After this vacation and learning that Disney is preparing to build an Avatar Land it dawned on my that there is so much for us SCI FI nuts that you can not avoid around the Orlando area. Most of them are in Universal and there is some in the Disney Parks. Over the years I have traveled with my family a number of times to the area and I have been lucky enough that my family likes the same stuff that I do. So it is real easy to become a kid once again and do all that geeky/nerdy/sci fi/ F-en awesome SH*T without any problems. So without going into to much detail on what is what . I will just list the rides in the parks they belong to and if possible find a Youtube video of them to give you an idea of what they are about via excerpts from the descriptions on Wikipedia. And these days that should be easy. Its like almost everyone post their vids of their experiences up on Youtube and there is always someone writing in Wiki in reliable and exact detail about those attractions these days. Since this is a lengthy one and most likely will have some add ons in the future as I find more and more I have broken this into pages with each of the attractions having their own page. You can go either find the ride your interested in by title or just click the next page. 

Tis that season again when the good old Dr Who Christmas special once again graces our TV's. And what is more fun then getting your appetite going for whats to come. One thing I like about BBC they actually give you nice teasers to advertise the show. it is anise touch and gets the fans wanting more. Well here is the teaser , a sneak peek , and another trailer of a best of Christmas Specials which by the way air on December 24th . Enjoy.

Sneak Peak Clip 2 from the BBC America

Here, the Doctor (Matt Smith) and Lily Arwell (Holly Earl) are in snowy pursuit. And as in the words of The Doctor, whatever Lily's brother Reg (Alexander Armstrong) is following... "it's growing."

The film is largely based on A Princess of Mars, the first novel to feature John Carter. The novel was originally published as a magazine serial in 1912 and then brought out in book form in 1917. In the novel John Carter is an American Civil War veteran who is miraculously transported to Mars, known to its inhabitants as Barsoom, where he learns that he is the only person capable of saving the planet which is soon to die off from war and natural reasons

On a side note the orchestral/medieval (for lack of any other description) type of rendition of Zeppelins Kashmir makes a cool sound track.

SYFY's hit reality program Face Off which is about special effects make up artists who are competing for a 100,000 dollar prize and more importantly exposure and recognition will return to the SYFY line up for a second season on January 11th 2012 at 10 PM Eastern - 11 PM Central . The contestants are put through a series of challenges such as full body painting, creature design , horror villains , and what ever else that is thrown their way. They will be tested and judged on how well they use prosthetics, 3-D design, sculpting, eye enhancers, casting and molding. The judges of Face Off look the same as season 1. They are 3 time Academy Award winner Ve Neill (Pirates of the CaribbeanEdward Scissorhands) , Glenn Hetrick (Heroes,Buffy the Vampire SlayerThe X-Files) , and  Patrick Tatopoulos (UnderworldIndependence Day,Resident Evil: Extinction)

Right now they are in the middle of a casting call so no real line up of contestants has been made. SYFY has posted some of the audition videos up on the Face Off page . I got to watch some of them and they were pretty insane. If you are interested or know someone here is the link for the SYFY casting call web page .  But you got to hurry it only is until November 22nd.
