This is the opening scene of the film, when we're first introduced to the stylish, bloody ways of our heroes.

Directed by Tony Scott, who later went on to direct Top Gun (I know - WTF?), The Hunger is based extremely loosely on a Whitley Strieber novel. Catherine Deneuve plays a hot vampire lady, thousands of years old, whose lover is a delicious-looking David Bowie. They rampage through the city, eating cute club kids, when (uh oh) Bowie suddenly starts aging. Trying to cure him, Deneuve visits a snacky Susan Sarandon, a scientist who studies the link between sleep and aging.

Unfortunately Bowie isn't curable, but Sarandon is so hot that Deneuve realizes she can at least get a hot new vamp girlfriend out of the deal. What will happen when Deneuve makes her move on Sarandon? What's going to happen to Bowie? I don't want to give you too many spoilers, but let's just say there's some smokin' hot vampire girl love, and ankhs are unsheathed more than once.

If you want a dose of underground 80s glitz with vampires, The Hunger should be on your must-rent list this weekend.

I took my camera down to San Diego, came back, and ran it through the Disaster computer and this is what came out. Sure, you've read the news, seen the panels, watched the TRON Trailer, but did anyone make you feel like you were there?

And yes, it's long (for the internet). It's supposed to be long, it's supposed to be watched when you can relax and enjoy it like humans used to do with television. So go to the link for HD, and kick your feet up for a few minutes and relax. But don't worry, it's still geared for people with an unhealthy attention span. And gents, you'll be rewarded for sticking with it. But, if you only have minute to kill might I suggest this video.

And on a personal note, I just want to thank Kid Robot for handling their own Disaster like pros and I can't wait to get my Wood Labbit.

This is Garrison Dean saying SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A FLYNN'S ARCADE SHIRT!!!

Well, golly. You can't expect an undead girl to drive her tractor all day without a little snack. And that boy sure was snacky.

There's nothing sweeter than a necrotic tootsie bobbing for apples. And look what this toothy cutie caught - an ear!

Oh my! Somehow the wind blew this pretty little decaying dame's skirt right up! So it's not our fault if we just can't help gawking at those grisly gams.

• 
  
• Wilma Deering first appeared in the August 1928 "Armageddon 2419 A.D." story that ran in Amazing Stories magazine, and she is depicted as heroic and beautiful. In the story, she encounters Anthony Rogers (not yet "Buck" Rogers) in the during a war in the far future. Anthony joins her team of fighters, and at end of the story, they get married. *sniffle*
• 
  
• in the late 20s to the mid 60s, Wilma also appeared in the Buck Rogers comic strip, although she was much more of a stock female character instead of the spunky adventurer from the pulps.
• 
  
• In the Buck Rogers serial that ran in 1939, Lieutenant Wilma Deering encountered a thawed-out Buck Rogers and Buddy Wade, and together they fought the oppressive regime of Killer Kane.
• 
  
• In the 1979 television show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Wilma was played by Erin Gray, and had made it all the way to Colonel. However, she was now a near-emotionless soldier with little interest in Buck. Although as time went by she opened up and tossed her shiny hair more, while continuing to dazzle as a pilot and a fighter.
• 
  
• In the Buck Rogers XXV Roleplaying Game, Wilma is described as a strawberry blonde with a fiery temper, and as an "8th level Terran warrior and a freedom fighter." But, she still serves as a love interest for Buck.
• 
  
• Princess Ardala was one of Buck's enemies in the comic strip, along with her sidekick Kane. However, she didn't appear in the 1939 serial at all.
• 
  
• Ardala became the vampiest scifi television show vixen on the airwaves when she appeared in the first season of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, although they didn't bring her back for season two.
• 
  
• She was portrayed by actress Pamela Hensley, and she frequently wore very little clothing. In most of her episodes, she puts Carrie Fisher's Slave Girl Leia bikini to shame. Fairly racy stuff on television for 1979.
• 
  
• Buck finds himself in the episode "Awakening" from the 1979 television series, and is first discovered by a Draconian fighter. He's brought aboard the flagship Draconia, where he meets the Draconian emperor Draco extremely briefly, and is then left with the Draconian Princess, Ardala. These people really need to buy a book of baby names or something.
• 
  
• Surprisingly, Ardala only made four actual appearances on the show, but it's impossible to think of it without remembering her slinky cattiness.
• 
  
• In one episode of the show, Ardala holds her own "shotgun wedding" where she points a massive orbital weapon at New Chicago, and threatens to blow it off the map if Buck doesn't consent to being her consort. He thwarts her, and she lets him go... looks like she's a fan of captive men.

Do they spray water out of the soles or give the wearer the ability to leap through flames? The robot dog with a hose for a tail is a lot more self-explanatory. He could scout ahead for hotspots and then take care of them himself with a flick of his hind end.

While we wouldn't mind living in a world populated with artist Neville Page's civil workers, we doubt that much work would get done. Everyone would probably be busy taking the day off to pose for calendars. Still, we love the attention to detail in these boots, even if neither we nor Neville know what they do. He tossed the whole piece together in a day and a half, wanting to work mainly on a pinup in some futuristic fire-fighting gear. Looks like he succeeded. Pair her up with the futuristic fire engine and you're playing with fire.

Check out the front and back of the sheets, and bid away. We also took a look through the store portion of her site and noticed she's selling autographed copies of her Playboy appearance from last year, which sports some NSFW Cylon coin-slot action. All proceeds to go Tricia's favorite Kitten Rescue charity, and we're resisting the urge for a bad joke right here.

Artist Neville Page was one of the designers of the jetpack used by the precog cops in the movie Minority Report, but he wanted to take the design a bit further and created this pinup in the process. He meant it to be tongue-in-cheek, and he's his own biggest critic: "It is safe to say that with police officers like her, one might be inspired to commit crimes in the hopes of being arrested. So perhaps this is not such a good costume idea after all."

We'd have to disagree with him there as far as costumes go, but as far as the uniform for a civil servant, this one might be a tad too distracting. Plus there's no way you'd want to see the 300 lb. Sergant McGillicuddy in that thing. Especially since he got that nasty skin rash.

If the Imperial Army had stormtroopers that looked like this, we can only assume that a) they'd have a ton of new recruits signing up, and b) they'd run out of funds building form-fitting stormtrooper armor for these overly endowed postergirls. It's not clear if those boobs are silicon-enhanced or Force-imbued, but they're clearly meant to get your midichlorians flowing.

We especially love their vapid expressions and usage of makeup. Who knew they had lipstick in the Empire? It's probably not standard issue with those outfits, but no doubt they have some sort of high-tech makeup applicator that works in zero gravity. All that's missing from this is a "Shhhh! Loose Lips Sink Death Stars!" poster warning about spreading secrets, and it would be a perfect set. We're going to see about ordering the "Next Planet!" version for the io9 lobby.

• Barbarella: This movie was all about sex, from the opening credits where Jane Fonda strips down in zero gravity, to her encounter with Dr. Durand Durand's sex organ called "The Excessive Machine." Which is basically a piano that plays with your genitalia. It's supposed to kill her, but of course Barbarella breaks it, oh my. She also has super-sci fi sex in pill form, which manages to curl her hair a bit. There's even a character named Dildano, in case you had any doubts about all the sex.

• 
  
• Demolition Man: This movie has a scene where Sylvester Stallone gets it on with Sandra Bullock's character through some high-tech sex helmets. You put them on and "think" about sex, so no bodily fluids are exchanged. That way you can do the nasty and stay "pure." Thankfully, it saves us from seeing them writhing around in bed together. A sad Stallone retires to his apartment to knit (no joke), but he gets a wrong number video phone call, so you can still see some boobies. He probably wrote that scene in himself.

• 
  
• Liquid Sky: In this 1982 cult-classic, fashion model Margaret has a troupe of tiny aliens following her around and sucking up the endorphins released by the people she has sex with, because that's where they get their fuel from. Must make finding a service station a bit rough. She has trouble hiding the ever-growing body count until the aliens help her out and start vaporizing them for her. Where else could you get a line like, "I bet you $300 I can fuck Margaret and not die!" spoken by a woman?

• 
  
• Battlestar Galactica: There's a lot of sex going on in this show, because apparently Cylons are equipped with a horny circuit that's been switched into overdrive. Except for that short, balding guy. We've never seen him try to do the deed. Plus, Cylon's spines glow red during sex, which you think would make detecting them a bit easier than the iffy blood-test solution that Baltar comes up with. Plus, Starbuck gets strapped down and has an ovary removed in a Cylon reproduction farm, which means they're just having sex for the fun of it.

  
  

• Moonraker: James Bond ventures into outer space, has slow-motion fights with laser beams and while wearing a spacesuit, manages to turn Jaws into a good guy, and also gets down with some zero gravity action with Dr. Holly Goodhead. The film's effects are pretty laughable at this point (the space shuttle has LASER BEAMS, for god's sake), but that sex scene made it all worth it when you were ten years old. Plus Q gets off a good one-liner at the end when the Prime Minister video calls Bond to congratulate him and they sex him and Dr. Goodhead floating naked under some silvery space sheets. M says, "What's he doing?!" And Q, staring at a flight path quips "I think he's attempting re-entry!" Zing.

• 
  
• Species: Scientists get a message from the stars in this film, and it sounds suspiciously like spam. "Free unlimited fuel now! Ask me how!" They follow the instructions, which involve splicing human DNA with alien DNA, and it gives birth to... Natasha Henstridge. She escapes into the wild with her supermodel good looks, and the fact that she changed her haircut. What a disguise. Even one of the scientists assigned to track her down doesn't recognize her, and they have sex. She's like Clark Kent with that damn hair. Anyhow, she's hot, struts around naked, and doesn't hesitate to kill people who get in her way.

  
  

• Demon Seed: This 1977 film featured a sentient computer named Proteus that also controlled every aspect of the house that his creator's wife lived in. As he begins to go HAL-style crazy, he tells the good doctor's wife that he just wants to have a child, and she agrees! There's some cyborg/robo sex going on, which has to be seen to be believed, including the robot's line "If you prick me, do I not leak?" If your house starts pleasing you sexually, it's either time to move, or to re-appraise your property.

• Sleeper: In this Woody Allen film, Allen mistakenly gets put into cryogenic freeze and wakes up 200 years in the future, where all men have been rendered impotent, except those of Italian descent. Orgasmatron booths are popular destinations, where instead of making a phone call you get off, and "intoxication orbs" are passed around at parties, which appear to make the holder experience sexual bliss. Sounds like a decent future to me, thank god my great-grandmother was Italian.
