Shia Last Man on Earth, International Year of Astronomy, MTV to remake Rocky Horror and is the sun setting on the USA

Sci Fi Pool Highlights for 24th July Include:
  • Shia La Beouf is the Last Man on Earth - io9 are reporting on the recent announcement that Shia will be Y The Last Man ... actually we enjoyed him in Transformers and we love the comic so it gets a thumbs up from us
  • The International Year of Astronomy - that's right, 400 years ago next year, in 1609, Galileo Galilei looked up into the heavens with a telescope ... now 400 years later we have stopped burning people like that and there are a whole bunch of organisations wanting to celebrate it ... look out for events near you
  • MTV is going to remake Rocky Horror - Really, there are some classics they should not be allowed to touch and this is one of them ... don't waste your time because we don't think you can make it any better
  • The setting sun of America - There is growing evidence that the USA has past its apex and is journeying down the long road that all civilisation travel as they die ... choose a world power throughout history and you can chart its demise from the Egyptians, Babylonians and Romans to Britain and Russia ... the loss of Scientific dominance heralded here is one such potential trend
