    Zontar, The Thing From Venus is my favorite cheesy movie title! Thanks for including it, I'm looking forward to watching this lost classic while eating lots of cheesy nachos!

    Thank you so much for the non-gallery versions. Much easier to read, quicker to load, etc.

    It would be hella-tight to get "Secret Agent" (Danger Man) on DVD along with classic Prisoner. You can pretend it's the same guy.

    You can also find some great sci fi shirts at [shirt.woot.com], my most recent favorite being the Dr. Who/Back to the Future themed "It Came out of Nowhere" [shirt.woot.com]

    Heh... gotta love the B&T "Be Excellent to Each Other" shirt. That and the retro future line are positively awesome.

    Unfortunately, I live in Florida so a Time Lord Trenchcoat is out of the question... unless it has some mysterious air conditioning built in that is.

    People looking for scifi hats should definitely check out my hand made Exposed Brain Fleece Hats... they come in a variety of color variants including Retro Scifi Pink, Mutant Green, and Radioactive Vegetarian (with scifi slime instead of blood). People wanting even weirder fare might like my Eyetopoid hat, which is a cross between a purple octopus and a giant eye... [akitsu.etsy.com]

    @Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: The hat is kind of like a stuffed animal... grin. The wrinkles are made by sewing a pattern into two layers of fabric, and then stuffing it with polyfil. The result is soft, squishy, and quite comfortable.

    Florida doesn't get cold often, so last week when it was I took advantage and wore brains out everywhere. Comp USA, Best Buy, Walmart, Borders Books, etc. It was definitely fun to see people react to it...

    Going by that T-Shirt, Space Pirates are clearly more attractive & fashionable than Somali Pirates..
