Flash Gordon . Top Story - August 2026.
Director Mike Hodges’ Flash Gordon (written by Lorenzo Semple Jr.) is a straight cult, camp romp through the four-color, cliffhanger world created by Alex Raymond in the "Flash Gordon" newspaper strips so many decades ago, in a completely different world. Buster Crabbe brought the comic-book hero—a football hero turned swashbuckling pulp outer-space warrior—to serialized life in old 1940s chapter plays, wielding a sword and a two-fisted, can-do, all-American fighting spirit alongside Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov, and against giant reptiles bluescreened against desert backgrounds, where shoebox rocket ships on fishing line with sparklers in their tails set down to do battle with the forces of the Mephistophelian menace Ming the Merciless, who vaguely resembles Anton LaVey. Which, on the whole, makes perfect sense.

The Tarot of Dune
Lynch establishes his voyage into the mystical, into the expansion of a growing consciousness, with his third film, Dune , a sprawling adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction classic, a tale of the young Paul Atreides, a.k.a. “Muad'Dib,” a galactic religious messiah born from the dark, troubled waters of the dreams of a young Duke, whose rulership of the planet Arrakis, a vast, inhospitable desert world, is usurped in an act of treachery by the grotesque, floating Baron Harkonnen, and the Emperor himself.

Crimes of the Future
I never quite understood what I was supposed to be getting from this movie, except that in the future, mutants wander around, cutting off their own newly evolved organs for paying audiences, eating plastic, mumbling softly and gravelly-throated, and looking as if they smell strangely and draw flies.

THE GAME THAT ONLY EXISTED IN OUR ROOM
Time doesn’t always behave. Sometimes it folds. Sometimes it repeats. Sometimes it gives you a version of reality meant only for you and the small creature who witnessed it beside you.

The Economist 2026 Cover: A Symbolic and Conspiratorial Analysis of the Future. Content Warning.
Every year, the cover of The Economist generates intense debate among political analysts, researchers, and conspiracy theorists alike. Supporters of symbolic interpretation argue that these covers are not merely artistic illustrations but coded messages that hint at major global events expected in the coming year. Whether one sees them as predictions, warnings, or simply clever editorial design, the imagery often reflects the fears, ambitions, and uncertainties shaping the world.

Claude Fable 5 and the New AI Cold War
A few nights ago, I found myself staring at my laptop long after I should have gone to bed. The room was quiet. The kind of quiet where you can hear your refrigerator humming from another room.

Rock & Rule
Let me preface this review by saying: This film, despite rumors to the contrary, was NOT made by Ralph Bakshi. His name would, logically, have appeared in the titles if it had been.

Logopolis
Logopolis is the final jaunt of Tom Baker as the TARDIS-occupying Time Lord before death and regeneration turn him into Peter Davison. It's hard to quantify, insomuch as it has a somewhat cluttered plotline that renders it a Big Think for even the most stalwart Whovian. (Doctorian? Certainly not!)

Inframan
When I was a kid, the cable television show that fascinated me the most was "Night Flight." "Night Flight" was a couple of HOURS of music videos, rare movies (condensed), interviews, short films, animation, oddities, and what-have-yous that detailed the best and worst of 1987 or thereabouts. (It actually ran from the early Eighties to the early Nineties in various forms, and is still streaming.)

Cipher News Burst in Pakistan
Cipher News Burst in Pakistan Pakistan has once again entered a period of intense political discussion after the sudden return of the “cipher controversy” in national and international media. The issue, often called the “Cypher Case” or “Cyphergate,” has created strong reactions among political parties, journalists, analysts, and ordinary citizens. The controversy is connected to a diplomatic cable that former Prime Minister Imran Khan claimed contained evidence of foreign pressure and political interference in Pakistan’s internal affairs.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT UNIVERSE
Astronomy is the scientific study of the universe and everything that exists within it, including stars, planets, galaxies, gas, dust, and other celestial bodies. It is one of the oldest sciences, helping humanity understand the mysteries of space and the laws that govern the cosmos. Astronomers observe celestial objects and develop theories about the origin, structure, and future of the universe. The universe is often defined as the totality of all matter, energy, space, and time that exists around us.
