    Props for featuring Ultraman. I rented the entire original series from Netflix (old DVD set) and I was surprised how much fun I had. I actually had watched the English dub on TV as a wee tot, and for the DVDs I watched with Japanese audio and subtitles. Since the dub was a pretty faithful translation, the stories were familiar. And as an adult I know that in the episode where Ultraman fights what looks like Godzilla, it actually IS the Godzilla suit (so ... I guess it's a cameo? :)

    I also nominate "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" -- and it was made into a theatrical movie a few years ago (with Zoe Deschanel as "Trillian" and Mos Def as "Ford Prefect"). I personally loved it, but it was one of those "open & close on the same weekend" films. I don't think hardcore SF fans ever liked the Douglas Adams books that much because a big source of the humor was the lampooning and making fun of SF conventions and cliches.

    @ThirzaIshamael: Actually the Hitchhiker books are adored by most of SF fandom. The film adaptation was okay in my opinion, but many fans were let down by it.

    I've mentioned on here a few weeks ago that I'd be willing to add more straight sci-fi to my Netflix Horror, Exploit, and Cult cinema new release lists if you guys were going to use them, but never go an answer. I'll throw the idea out there again just in case.

    As it stands, I've carried those list out to Nov. As titles are added to the NF database, I'll add them. just click to see what's doin': [www.netflix.com]

    Even if Fox changes their mind about Sarah Connor Chronicles, it can't be made.

    Summer Glau is doing Dollhouse, and Lena Headey has been cast for the HBO adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire (as Cersei Lannister, HELL YES).

    It's not so much that I try to block out Insurrection as I just . . . forget about it. First Contact was a blast, Nemesis was a train wreck, Insurrection was 103 minutes.

    @MrTim: I don't even remember the story of Insurrection or Nemesis, apart from the fact that they were both boring and that the vilain in Nemesis was a lame clone of Picard. I already have Khan, Voyage Home, Search for Spock and First Contact. I don,t need any other Trek movie except maybe for the first one.

    @collex: I've only watched each of them once, but I maintain that Insurrection is nowhere near the frnachise-destroying abomination that Nemesis was. Insurrection wasn't that that good, mind you, but it actually had some humanity and decent writing and direction.

    Nemesis was criminally awful on all levels.

    Blackest Night is turning into another Lost or Fringe for me. I am extremely interested and I promised I wouldn't look into it until it was over but Jesus Christ it's so tempting. I can't tell what hurts more, waiting in ignorance for a hardcover or waiting every week for the next installment. (Note: I gave in to both Lost and Fringe. I have yet to see any Battlestar though. I think I am holding out for Labor Day weekend.)

    I know you mentioned Buckaroo Banzai briefly, but that was waaaaay more sci-fi and comedic that most of the other entries.


    Also, if you're going to include Shaun of the Dead and mention Simon Pegg's vaguely sci-fi related side projects, you should also give fair dues to Nick Frost's brilliant Star Trek send-up Hyperdrive
