Dark Night Beats record, Dr Horrible ends, Capt Blasto starts, Global Warming Ends, Pullman ends, Mars mag field ends, PCMouse ends, New Heart starts,

Sci Fi Pool Highlights for 21st July Include:
  • Dark Knight Beats record of Spidey 3 - The Dark Knight opening weekend has beaten the last record holder, Spiderman 3, by $4 million ... now that is impressive
  • DR Horrible ends in tragedy - The third part to Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog is up, but watch it quick as we believe the whole thing gets taken down next Sunday ... and boy is it worth it ... although be warned, this funny musical about supervillans ends with tragedy and not the light hearted feel that we started it with ... Whedon has managed, not only to build great characters, a great Universe, great story and great songs but also managed humour, action, seriousness and pathos all in three 15 minute episodes ... so what is next? We know there is a DVD coming, but are there any more episodes in the pipeline?
  • Want more Superhero webisodes? - we haven't watched Captain Blasto yet but it may very well do until we hear more from Dr Horrible
  • Phillip Pullman Film's being stopped - If you were a fan of the Golden Compass you will be very disappointed to hear that there may very well be no more films made from the series of books
  • Add lime to your drink and the Sea to stop Global Warming - All right it's just adding Lime to the sea that could stop Global Warming ... still I'll have another Mojitto to celebrate and order that Freelander 4x4 I always wanted
  • Mars' Magnetic Field turned off by Asteroid - Apparently Mars used to have one and the big question was how did it stop in such a short space of time? ... well apparently a big asteroid hit it and affected the spinning molten core of the planet which helps create a magnetic field ... so what was Mars like before? Did it have a proper atmosphere? and could this happen to us?
  • Computer Mouse soon to be Extinct - With Wii mote's, mind interface, facial recognition controls, etc, the mouse is apparently heading for extinction in the next five years ... yeah for all those who suffer from wrist repetitive strain injury!!
  • New ways to re-grow your heart - we are seeing a flurish of advances in medicine at the moment and this study which suggests that we will soon be able to regrow blood vessels by injection rather than surgery using our own pregenerator cells rather than stem cells is very interesting
  • 5 Sci-Fi realities this Century - the io9 team have come up with a great little list of real life sci-fi scenarios which you may now think of as real life but you would have thought of as Sci-fi only 8 years ago
  • Quinto on Spock - nice little teaser piece from Quinto about his Spock Character
