Scifi PSAs: Because Knowing Is Half The Battle
G.I. Joe's Recondo teaches that the more you know, the less likely you are to hide in a fridge. Thanks, Recondo! Although honestly, it is a pretty great hiding place. Back in the day, Saturday mornings weren't just a place for awesome science fiction cartoons, they were also a chance for the government to instill morals into the minds of children via their favorite characters. After the jump a collection of some of our favorite science fiction Public Service Announcements, including Transformers, He-Man and Power Rangers. More »

Starship Troopers 3 may finally show us a glimpse of the powered armor Heinlein talks about in the novel — but we'll get our real power armor fix from the G.I. Joe movie, coming in 2009. I haven't been sure whether Joe really counted as science fiction, but a new script review gives plenty of reasons to accept it as belonging to the genre, including armor with invisibility powers, miraculous nano-technology, and super-soldiers created by a mad scientist. The costumes may look a bit Batman And Robin-esque (power-armor-breasts!) but the storyline sounds awesomely pulpy enough for ten sawmills. Spoilers, and a gallery, below.

Will The Master Chief Be A Movie Star?
After three different scripts, the Halo movie has fallen into development hell due to "cockblocking" from the control freaks at Microsoft. So screenwriter Stuart Beattie (G.I. Joe) has decided to try and break the logjam by writing a Halo script on spec. Minor spoilers ahead. More »

You can finally take a gander at photos of "Darth Maul/The Toad" Ray Park in his full Snake-Eyes costume from the upcoming G.I. Joe film, and we grudgingly have to admit that he looks fairly badass. Even though his visor looks a bit like Geordi's from Star Trek: The Next Generation, we'd never tell him that to his face. If we did, he'd either gut us with his sword, pop a cap in our ass with his gun, or possibly do both. Check out another Snake-tastic picture after the jump.

Just Turn It Into G.I. Joe Vs. Transformers!
Fans and critics are lambasting G.I. Joe producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's casting choices for the upcoming movie, and we'd have to agree. Besides, if he really wants to try and get some box office bang, he should adapt the G.I. Joe Vs. Transformers comic book. After all, he produced Transformers as well, so it shouldn't be that big of a jump for him to turn the less-than-stellar sounding G.I. Joe into a crossover flick. If it's going to be this bad, why not chuck in some giant fighting robots?
