Mike S tweets Galaxy Quest

Once a week our mad twit Mike S from the Corner of Terror will shanghai The Basement's Twitter account and tweet along to a non-horror movie, all for your Internet pleasure. Cool, yes!?! We think so. 

This week, The S ventured back to 1999 and the only really good movie Tim Allen has ever made. That's right, Galaxy Quest!

It's 7:00 pm (PST), and Mike S is here to tweet along to... !

Who here has been to a Sci-Fi/Comic/Horror convention? Jay's been to a Star Trek on... bastard. :P  

But... But Sigourney- we all LOVE how well your boobs fit into your suit. REALLY love how well they fit.  

I love Alan Rickman's face when they play his character's catch phrase... such a look of disgusted resignation...  

I think I could handle being killed by a lava monster before the 1st commercial...  

I wonder how many stars realize they wouldn't have a career without their fans... and actually appreciate them?  

: Patrick Stewart originally didn't want to see because he'd heard they were "making fun of Star Trek"...

It must be weird to enter a men's room and seeing five aliens standing at the urinal...  

You know you're depressed when you're drinking bourbon in just a shirt, socks, and underwear...  

I think I've seen Tim Allen's character's house in another movie... it gets blown up in that one.  

I'm looking forward to the day when transporter technology is an every day piece of technology.  

: If you fire the Red Particle Cannon & the Blue Particle Cannon together, would it be a Purple Particle Stream?

I'm hoping transporter technology doesn't include bubbling goo... Ick...  

Somehow... I really can't see Alan Rickman opening up a new mall...  

: In 2003, Danish rock band Blindstone recorded a song titled "By Grabthar's Hammer" for their album Manifesto.

: The NTE at the start of the ship's registry number stands for "Not The Enterprise".

I have no doubt that when we encounter an alien race, they will sound like harbour seals...  

I wonder how many new drivers have scratched the paint on their spaceships pulling out of spacedock...  

When someone says, "You deserve to be shown..." you can be sure it's not a happy story...  

Putting a guy's head on a pike will make sure they never fail you again, that's for sure...  

: "The ship is breaking apart. Just FYI..."

Somehow, I can just see aliens thinking that "Gilligan's Island" was a reality TV show...  

If you had a starship... what would you name it? I would name mine the "Knight Sky".  

We all have one friend that thinks they're the "Red Shirt" of the group...  

: "You know- with all that make-up, I actually thought you were smart for a second..."

: "Let's get out of here before one of them kills Guy!"

: Star Trek Online, has aTipler Cylinder device with a beryllium core that allows your ship to rewind time about 13 seconds.

Getting whacked in the head with a rock hurts... FYI  

: "The animal is inside out... and it exploded..."

I'm looking forward to the day that my knowledge of Star Trek blueprints will save the Universe...  

: Justin Long- who plays Brandon (a fan) would go onto greater fame as Mac from the Apple commercials.

I LOVE the "bug on the windshield" joke...  

I don't think I'd include "The Chompers"... or the wall of fire on my star ship... just seems like a bad idea.  

What would be your reaction to "alien nookie"?  

Who else got teary eyed when Quellek died, and Alan Rickman vowed revenge?  

I think it would be cool to travel through a black hole... deadly... but cool.  

I'm not entirely sure I could be the Captain of a crew that grinned ALL of the time...

I wonder if car insurance policies cover damages caused by runaway space ships...  

With the Protector "warping" into the distant nebula, this week's tweet-along comes to an end. gets a Good from me.

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
