Daily Scan for 11.11.08 - A Breakdown of SciFi Romance Novels, No Alien Squid in Watchmen?

• Cinemacom features 80 great posters of not so great scifi movies from the '50s.

• J. Michael Stracynzski's Forbidden Planet remake will be more of a "complementary piece," acting as if Altair 4 didn't blow up at the end of the movie. A sequel, almost!

• I will say this for Terminator Salvation: The murderous monsters designs are great.

• One thing we can apparently see in the new Star Trek trailer: Uhura topless.

• Robot Chicken's Empire Strikes Back pastiche episode is looking good and SF Signal has a round-up of some of the released clips.

• io9 lists the spacesuit-ripping sexcapades of scifi romance novels. Hey, there's Fabio!

Watchmen fans, prepare to wail and gnash your teeth: Zack Snyder has eliminated the alien squid from the ending. Apparently, in a movie about naked blue supermen, a giant squid is just too unbelievable.

Saluting the Leadership, Bravery and OK, the Hotness, of the Top Ten Babes of SciFi

T3_560.JPG

Science fiction is filled with strong female characters. We appreciate their leadership, bravery, and their good looks. (But in a totally non-objectifying way.) The babes, er, women in this list were chosen both for their beauty, and their impact on scifi. They're all strong characters played by great actresses... who also happen to physically attractive. Check out our list of the top ten babes of scifi, and feel free to tell us who we missed in the comments.
