Just for Laughs, a comedy show often does pratical jokes (I beleive they have a seperate show just for that as well,) here in Canada and the UK (Just for Laughs UK). For the most part they are stupid, often not very funny, my dad loves them though. I came across this one that I found extremely amusing.

The look on the faces after they do their double take is simply pricesless. Although I hesitate to wonder how good an idea it is to do that to someone, if they had a weak heart or something.

The Amazing Scew-On Head and Eureka

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

SciFi Channel has released two full pilot episodes to view online for free. The Amazing Scew-On Head and Eureka are two new shows coming to SciFi and after seeing these pilots I must say I really want to see these shows. They are both witty and original in their own ways. I want to talk about them individually but first a little about SciFi’s direction. Providing the pilot online free for everyone to view is a deceptively effective marketing technique. I would have never seen these shows otherwise, and now they are on the top of my list to keep an eye out for. I really hope other networks follow SciFi’s lead. (I don’t know if it’s my codecs or SciFi’s player but sometimes the quality is very poor, sometimes very crisp.)

The “Done the Impossible” crew has taken me to an all new level of excitement and respect. They have released their documentary, albeit the lower quality version, under the CC license.

You can download Done the Impossible via Bittorrent through the Legal Torrents site. Legal Torrents is a website that links trackers to, drum roll please, legal torrent trackers. It offers up the reasoning behind the crew releasing the documentary under the Creative Commons license.

The documentary is currently pre-ordering for less than $20 USD so even if you do download it, please consider buying it.

You can’t stop the signal.

If you know me you know I am a massive Firefly fan. When I learned Firefly had been prematurely cancelled I almost cried, had I not been a beard wearing burley man at the time I might have. Then along came Serenity, the phoenix to rise from the ashes, I mean seriously how many shows do you know that got cancelled half way through it’s first season get a movie? It’s totally unprecedented and delighted me to know that was going to get closure. And what we got was an amazing sci-fi movie, not the best but definitly the best of recent times, I have no qaulms placing it up there with Aliens, Wrath of Kahn and Terminator.

What’s made my day is that I learned of a documentary created by fans for the fans titled “Done the Impossible.” It’s gone gold and is ready to ship, very soon, like within days soon. I am excited, it is packed full of content, including an 80 minute documentary, 5 hours of bonus video, searchable scripts, a ‘verse dictionary, an interactive timeline, commentary, the full 9 yards, shiney.

Done the impossible is going to be shown at this year’s comic con, which is set for July 20th. Comic con takes place in San Diego and the crew are going to be taking a few hundred copies with them there, as well the pre-orders should start shipping before it takes place. I am so tempted to go to San Diego on the very minisucle chance of obtaining a copy.
