I know I said that I thought Bound Gods was pitched as sci-fi, but, thinking about it, I expect it was probably Naked Kombat I was thinking of. Naked Kombat is the male-on-make, well, naked combat version of the female-on-female naked combat Ultimate Surrender. Winner gets to do the loser. You know the drill. Nice addition of mud in the Dakota Rivers and Colby Keller scene. Again, penis warning. If you only want to see the ladies do battle, check out Ultimate Surrender instead.

Sexy Fandom was on what you might call hiatus when the Fucking Machines people started the Bound Gods site. At the time they started, the PR about the site seemed to indicate that BoundGods is science fiction-themed. When some of the hottest stuff on there features Rusty Stevens and Drake Jaden as a farmer teaching a littering party punk a lesson, I am not sure I see the sci-fi angle, but I do see the appeal. If you are uncomfortable looking at more than one penis in the same picture with no vulvic matter present, don’t click. If you always got excited when Batman or James Bond got tied up by the villain, then this might be just the site for you. Complete with forced robot love.

The thing that Hollywood people always say about Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, when speaking of the movie Speed, is that “oh, they had such amazing chemistry.” That thought certainly never crossed my mind watching Speed. I think Keanu Reeves is a fine actor and Sandra Bullock managed to reach for his level in Speed, but sometimes actors can seem like they are in love because they, you know, can act. This is why you should never ever ever date an actor. One night stands with actors are okay but not relationships. At any rate, I’ve never been sure whether this chemistry comment was code for “they had a steamy fling during shooting” but now it seems that every journalist who covers The Lake House is contractually obligated to imply that maybe someone’s driving their bus in the tunnel, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, maybe putting their boat in the ocean, get it, ha, ha. Bullock is recently wed and Reeves is famously private and, kids, it is just a movie, not real life, so this line of questioning is totally insufferable to me just as a reader. Plus it distracts from the average person remotely comprehending what this paranormal romance is about.
Sci Fi has an interview with the faux couple which includes the following exchange: Why has it taken so long for you two to work together again, and will it be another decade or so before you have a romantic destiny again?
Reeves: I’d like to have a “romantic destiny.” Please give me a “romantic destiny”! Wow, a “romantic destiny,” what does that mean? Romantic destiny.
Bullock: Maybe. Does it matter? Let go of time. Have you seen this film? Let go of time and your preconceived notions of time and just be. If you write that literally, and don’t say that I said that sarcastically, I’ll be the first to come to your home and destroy your landscaping. [Laughs.]
Oh yeah, The Lake House is about some chick and some guy who fall in love via some sort of time travel conceit. Not clear on it because I haven’t seen the movie. Reports tell me that Bullock and Reeves held hands at the premiere, but, like, only as friends, so at least I’m clear on that.

Home Media Retailing, the trade magazine for the DVD market, just ran an interesting article about how Stephen Root got involved with Tripping the Rift. Root is probably best known, at least to SexyFandom readers, for his Have you seen my stapler? character in the movie Office Space, but he is one of our most accomplished voice actors. On King of the Hill, he voices regular characters Bill Dauterive and Buck Strickland, as well as a variety of additional animated Texans. Root has given sound to cartoons on Kim Possible, Ice Age, American Dad, and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and more. When he saw the five minute demo for Tripping the Rift, he tells HRM, ““I thought it was beautiful,” he said. “They asked, ‘Do you want to play Chode?’ I said, ‘What’s Chode?’ They told me it’s the name of the space between your … ‘Oh, that’s the name of that!’”” Root also told HRM that he is big into sci-fi and enjoyed comic books from the 60′s.
I don’t usually post about the trade magazines I read for my day job, but Home Media Retailing often provides interesting insights into the DVD and related products market.

Tonight Sci Fi Channel will be running the You Want to Put That Where? episode of Tripping the Rift. YWTPTW is a sensitive and daring study of how sexual identity can be a personal prison and the power of a really great sexbot to arouse beyond the usual constraints of gender and preference.
The Museum of Hoaxes has a listing of the top 100 April Fools Day pranks. Included are the BBC convincing people that spaghetti grows on trees in Switzerland or Discover Magazine describing the new hotheaded naked ice borer species in Antarctica which could bore through ice using the heat of the blood vessels near the bony plate in its head.
It is pretty common for people to forget it is April first and believe various peculiar stories printed by their favorite, usually accurate publications. So I’m only amused and not disturbed that so many of you believed that Sexy Fandom was acquired by The Science Fiction Channel. I’m a little disappointed, however, by how many people wrote and told me essentially to stay strong against any sell-out criticisms because, no matter how much the blog got sucky, the important thing was that I was making a lot of money.
While I’m touched by your concern for my finances, I already make a lot of money. I do this blog for fun. I’m a TV writer, so obviously I’m for sale on some level, but it would take a whole lot of money for me to sell. This is supposed to be my venue to explore things I couldn’t normally. So, while I’m not wholly closed to being showered with cash, I would hope my readers would care if the character of SexyFandom.com changed. Money is nice, but it is not an excuse for bad behavior. If it were, then we wouldn’t have laws to put bank robbers in prison.

Once the sale of Sexy Fandom to the Science Fiction Channel goes through, I’ll be doing a lot more coverage of stuff like what I’d like to put through a Stargate and how Rose McGowan has matured as an actress on Charmed and a lot less coverage of where to find robot sex slaves and holiday-themed photos of freaky girls. I think the move in a less mature audiences direction will be fine. I never showed nudity on this site anyway. It will still be me writing the blog, just for a whole lot more money.

The earliest known usage of the term “science fiction” is in 1851 (in Chapter 10 of William Wilson’s A Little Earnest Book upon a Great Old Subject), in which he writes: “Science-Fiction, in which the revealed truths of Science may be given interwoven with a pleasing story which may itself be poetical and true.”
However this appears to be an isolated usage and the term appears to have been recoined in the 1920s where it appeared in Amazing Stories.
Science fiction is often abbreviated as SF or sci-fi. However, SF is not unambigous (see under Other types, below), and sci-fi is seen by some as having derogatory overtones. A short lived synonym was scientifiction. (via Wikipedia)
