Okay, so I think this video's pretty awesome, but I'm the one who made it, so you tell me. It's a tribute to Iron Man, in anticipation of Iron Man 2, with clips from the 2008 Jon Favreau film put to a shortened version of Weezer's "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived." (Warning: one scene within the first 20 seconds is very mildly NSFW, but there's no nudity and nothing that wasn't in the movie.)

It might be a little fanboyish of me to follow the first "Great Scenes" article, in which I discussed the hermit scene from Bride of Frankenstein, with a scene from Iron Man, which is neither high-brow nor a classic, but I'll be honest with you: The Sci-Fi Block's probably going to be in Iron Man orgy mode this month in light of the sequel coming out on the 28th. So, I guess "Great Scenes" is as fine a point to dive in as any.

Repo Men came out this past weekend, and, if you didn't notice, it is a blatant rip off of Repo! The Genetic Opera (without the musical component and heavy horror leanings). That's fine with me, though. If you can take a premise someone else came up with and execute it better, I say go for it (heck, even Shakespeare did this). But did the more recent film outdo the first? We're about to take a look. Using a highly scientific method of calculating quality by ranking various elements on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 being horrid, 3 being average, 5 being outstanding), I've made it my duty to settle the rivalry once and for all.

There has recently been a trend of movie studios picking up classic game properties to adapt into film, with the announcement of projects ranging from board games like Monopoly to Atari classics like Missile Command. We here at The Sci-Fi Block have decided to step up to the plate and feed the movie adaptation machine our own mind-blowing ideas for sci-fi films based on classic games. If you're one of the world-renowned directors who reads our stuff daily, just remember: we thought of them first. We offer very reasonable royalty packages.

I recently created a fanvid putting Queen’s “You’re My Best Friend,” to clips of (mostly) the famous scene in James Whale’s Bride of Frankenstein, in which the monster meets a blind hermit and the two become friends. This was a strange experience for me because, despite having seen the film many times and already holding a fondness for that scene, somehow as I began working with it, taking it apart, and rearranging it, it became even more touching to me than it had been.
