Fede Alvarez, an unknown producer from Uruguay,created a video of a robot invasion and put it out on Youtube.
The video cost about 300.00 that’s three hundred dollars to make and the concept was snatched up by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures for THIRTY MILLION dollars.
Merry Christmas Mr. Alvarez
and you might as well have a Happy New Years too.

I’m all about those weird stories.
I write them, I read them, I buy the DVD’s.
So there’s this new show coming out and I think I was meant to be a big fan…and here’s the reason why.
Back before our computer systems were changed at work our stores were numbered in the system.
My store was #13
So my location was
Warehouse 13.
Check it out…
Warehouse 13 is going to be on the SCI-FI Channel
Give it a try…and don’t forget to tell them Anita sent you
In the two Part Doctor Who episode ” The Forest of The Dead” and ” Silence In The Library” evil creatures are hiding in a city that houses a computer-
a big computer, a huge computer, a living computer.
And those evil creatures that feed off of organic material ( well, human flesh ) are living in….
books.
Lots and lots of books.
Books that are made out of wood pulp.
Paper.
This made me think:
When we give kudos to the new ” Sci Fi ” stories, those kudos get tossed around like confetti because woman can now shoot big guns and sometimes even get to be Captains on actual spaceships and have ripley muscles just like their male counter parts.
But come on how is that cutting edge exactly?
Some writers just figured out that you can substitute male characters for female characters because really, they can do the same exact job.
Sort of like real life.
Anyway.
In this Doctor Who episode we did see something cutting edge, we saw something unique we saw a story that takes place in the future ( well, that’s a guess where Doctor Who is concerned-but stick with me here ) and in that future were books.
Books with pages that you can turn, pages that crackle and pop when they’re new and whisper when they get old.
How cutting edge is that?
Very.
After all.
A Science Fiction story about Time Travel had at it’s core…books…
books in a Library.
In these times when we walk around with a phone that is sort of like having a second brain that you can hold in your hand ( also a addressed in Doctor Who episode: Planet Of The Ood )
I found ” The Planet Of The Ood “episode to be more of a shot across the bow of the hi-tech ship everyone I know seems to be sailing on then then to be story a story about slavery or disease.
So I will freely admitt I thought is was a riot when my Cell Phone enslaved friends watched this and didn’t seem to see the comparison between themselves and the Ood and the guy who gets ” turned “.
I think that seeing a story about books
made me realize
how much I would miss them if they were gone.
So that must mean on some level
I must feel like they’re being taken away…made irrelevant.
When did that happen?
The funny thing is, The Doctor would know.
Doctor Who.
It has more then a real hot guy playing the lead role.
It happens to have some excellent stories too.
Enjoy…
and THINK next time you watch it.
a.m.
I love Science.
I love to write Fiction.
So.
That means…
I love to make fun of Science Fiction…
actually I didn’t make this I found it at:::

Darrin and I have been friends since we were seven.
He expressed his affection for me by offering to marry me when we were in the First Grade everyday at morning recess- in front of my friends and the sixth graders and on his knees.
My answer was to tie him to the tether-ball pole and to leave him there until recess was over.
In the Second Grade Darrin used to draw hearts on my desk- in magic marker.
I used to beat him up for that because darn it, that ink would NOT come off and for some reason the teacher who thought this situation was ‘too cute for words’ ( as he told my Mom ) couldn’t ‘find’ another desk.
And then part way through the third grade it occurred to me to just ignore Darrin.
That went on for weeks until one day I’m in my room- and there’s a knock on the living room door and I hear it open and I hear
Crying
It’s Darrin and he’s there with his Mom and they’re talking and my Mom and when I went out there all I could say was
” I haven’t touched that Cootie..I hate that Cootie…he BUGS me.”
I thought I was pretty darn funny.
My Mom is not amused.
Friends and neighbors she doesn’t even blink – I don’t think she was even breathing- she was MAD.
So my Mom asks Darrin what I did ( I was tried and convicted on the spot- my Mom does not screw with due process ) and that little Cootie- Head says
” Anita hates me…she won’t talk to me anymore.”
Not only did my Mom take away my bike, she took away my record player-
just for making Darrin cry.
So at a very young age I learned…
Don’t mess with Darrin
I ‘ve lived by that for over 30 years now.
So a couple of years ago I get this e-mail from Darrin.
We’re both Doctor Who fans and he tells me that when he was in the U.K. he saw the new Doctor on the TV.
Here’s what he said,
” His name is David Tennant and do you know what Anita? I never thought I’d say this becuase I didn’t think it could ever be true- but there is someone out there who is far more prettier then you are.”
So I google David Tennant take a good look and fire back this e-mail
” Dear Cootie Maestro,
When the Master shows up he’s totally going to make this guy his Bitch.”
Darrin sent a copy of that to my Mom- who couldn’t punish me but it should be noted that for Christmas that year she didn’t give me her traditional gift of Cherry Cordials ( the mint ones ).
Even from his Grandmother’s house on the other side of the world Darrin got me busted.
God!
So for a couple of YEARS I have bit my lip everytime Darrin starts talking about
and I quote
” Doctor Whoa Baby Tennant “
It was all good until about a month or so ago when I called Doctor Who a floozy- well for god-sakes it was a comment section and how was I supposed to know people who don’t comment ( LIKE YOU DARRIN ) read those things-
Anyway, Darrin sees it…
so he says it’s my choice-
I give up blog space to Doctor Whoa Baby or he tells about the time I….
well-
anyway
he’ll do it.
And how long will I have to do this for?
Until I die.
Like I said Don’t F*&^ with Darrin.
But don’t worry Darrin… Mon Petit Insecte…
Vengence will be mine.
One day my Mom will NOT be around to protect you.
Until then…
here’s some Doctor Whoa Baby stuff….Darrin….you Toad…
blah blah blah, missing scientist, blah blah blah, atom bomb
this is a great blog- go see it for yourself- and to get you moving along it does involve YOU KNOW WHO HERE
This is a fun clip.
I happen to like the song, plus somebody gets slapped around a couple of times- anyway….here it is….
This is a pretty cool fansite…if you’re interested in pictures and things of that nature that involve Mr. Tennant
Okay.
I’m done.
For now.
Geeze
