Post Titled: Alpha Centauri
I came across the term "Alpha Centuari" earlier today, which rang a lot of bells- not only is it a star system, but it is also mentioned in a Hitchhiker's Guide and I believe (pretty damn sure that)"The Last Starfighter"- (1984 sci-fi film) so I go to the Last Starfighter's imdb page only to find that it is being re-made in 2010! Why? Why re-make? Short Circuit also, grrr. and being re-made by the same  director, Nick Castle, except it will just be called "starfighter"

I had serious issues with the Last Starfighter grwing up- mainly because the Alex clone is really terrifying as it is taking form.
Other strange coincidence: Betelgeuse. a star system, also home of Ford Prefect, also a mid-80's film...
other complaints:
LACK OF STANDARDifiifiICATION OF SPELLING OF SUPERHERO NAMES, z.b.:
Superman and Batman are one word.
Spider-Man is hypnehated.
Iron Man is two words.
Superman and Batman are D.C. Comics.
Spider-Man and Iron Man are Marvel...
X-Men... ja, Marvel also...

-p.s- this is a test post, direct from email to blog... we shall see what it looks like...

anyhow here is the trailer to the original Last Starfighter
