The Tale Of An “Aliens” Saturday Morning Cartoon Has Been Debunked

Nearly a year ago, we (along with many other websites, don’t just blame us) reported on the possible existence of a pilot called “Operation: Aliens.” The proposed animated series would have ran on Fox Kids during the 1992-93 season, but it was cancelled, leading to a lot of offbeat “Aliens” merchandise suddenly appearing in 1993, some of it bearing the “Operation: Aliens” logo. Unfortunately….some recent testimonials have come to light from people who were working in the industry at the time, and it turns out none of it is true. An Aliens cartoon was never actually planned. An amateur journalist who goes by “JimboX” emailed Margaret Loesch, head of Fox Kids during the early 90s, to see if she would remember this cartoon. He wasn’t expecting a response, but he got it: “Hi Jimbo. Well, I have racked my brains and I simply do not have a recollection of any project we developed called ‘Operation: Aliens.’ I even checked with two of my former colleagues who worked for me –

10 Movies Not Covered On VH1’s I Love The 80s

Back in my RetroJunk days, many of my articles were list articles, and many of those lists pertained to the pop culture of the 1980s. As a lot of these articles were written in the 00s, they were part of the first wave of 80s nostalgia, probably best exemplified by VH1’s I Love The 80s trilogy. There were three installments, those being 2002’s original I Love The 80s, 2003’s I Love The 80s Strikes Back and 2005’s I Love The 80s 3-D. I was puzzled as to why they called it I Love The 80s when so many of the commentators were snarky and sarcastic about it, lacking the love of the title, but I watched all three installments anyway because of the topics covered. You can preface this article’s title with the words 10 Big Ones because these were big movies not covered on VH1’s I Love The 80s. Surprisingly, there were a lot of movies they never got around to, movies that spring readily to mind when you

Giant Flick Films LLC is a production and distribution company based in Hollywood whose first release was Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage starring Patrick Stewart. Now they’re getting ready for an awakening….Alpha: The Awakening that is, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi/horror film influenced by classic science fiction anthologies of the 20th century. “I was a big fan of Rod Serling growing up. In fact, I would find myself cutting class to stay home and watch The Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits TV shows on channel 5 in Los Angeles,” said Shahin Sean Solimon, writer and director of Alpha: The Awakening. “I loved the storytelling, substance, and characters in classic Sci-Fi TV which would drive the plot, all wrapped in a supernatural or sci-fi setting, so I wrote this as an original story with that philosophy in mind. I hope it will resonate with the fans.” Alpha is described as “a dramatic, character-driven ride about a man (Apollo) waking up as the last human on Earth.” The last of his kind, but definitely

The American Film Market will play host to the very first screening of Film Mode Entertainment’s new sci-fi thriller Occupation, the company announced today. According to the official plot description, the film takes place “after a devastating intergalactic attack on Earth [where] the last surviving humans must band together for the sake of survival.” To save mankind, they’ve got to stay one step ahead of the invading race and form a strategy to strike back. Occupation stars Dan Ewing (“Home and Away”), Temuera Morrison (Aquaman, Moana), Rhiannon Fish (The 100) and Bruce Spence (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith). It was written and directed by Luke Sparke. “We’re extremely excited to show Occupation for the first time to buyers at AFM,” says Sparke. “The film has been put together by a team of passionate individuals and companies from Australia and around the world, and it really is a huge achievement from all. We believe the film takes the ‘invasion’ storyline in a new and exciting direction, while still giving action film junkies a fun experience I hope they

Aliens: Colonial Marines Authentic Aliens Trailer

Here we have a pretty cool developer diary of sorts going into quite a bit of detail on how Gearbox plans to deliver an authentic Aliens experience to the fans. It’s pretty cool, but I can’t help feel like the game’s prominent multiplayer wont be authentic without playable females, a subject that this video sadly ignores. Anyways, check out the trailer below. httpv://youtu.be/nasEF-z0q0k
