This is Halloween: THE THING The Musical. THE THING as Told by The Thing. Are you The Thing?

Posted by mistergroonk in LOL, Movies, Music on October 14, 2011

We’ve been stockpiling posts the last few months, faithful reader. By doing this we gain an upper hand in content filled posts but we lose out on being the first with the story. We can live with that. The last few weeks have been THE THING heavy as you can imagine.

The prequel to 1980s John Carpenter’s THE THING focuses on what happens at the Norwegian camp. We have a hope that the new movie isn’t just a retread of all the old gags that Carpenter pioneered in the ’80s. We have a fear that it will just be a blatant money grab via brand recognition. Of course, we’re gonna watch it anyway.

What we have for you today is three things relating to THE THINGverse. One musical. One totally downloadable audio book. One comedy bit by a new-to-us sketch comedy group, Reckless Tortuga.

Jump below the cut to see them all.

Good Morning, Discovery Astronauts. William Shatner Greeted Your Final Day

Posted by mistergroonk in Space on March 8, 2011

Yesterday, the Discovery astronauts were awakened by the sultry voice of an old school Star trek icon. No. it wasn’t George Takei. The captain of the 60s and lover of green women, William Shatner, greeted the crew with altered copy from his fame making TV series.

“Space, the final frontier. These have been the voyages of the Space Shuttle Discovery,” said Shatner in a specially recorded introduction to the “Theme from Star Trek,” played as wake-up music at 2:23am (0723 GMT).

“Her 30 year mission: To seek out new science. To build new outposts. To bring nations together on the final frontier. To boldly go, and do, what no spacecraft has done before,” said Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the popular television and movie series

The space shuttle Discovery is set for retirement after this voyage. It makes the Space Bastard in us bittersweet.

You can hear and download the raw Air-to-Ground transmissions from the entire STS-133 mission at the NASA audio collection on Archive.org.

Drop below the cut to hear the entire wake-up playlist for STS 133.

Pointy ears should play close attention to track 5 (March 4, 2011).
