Sci-Fi Lists - Top Science Fiction
Long before Star Wars and my discovery of Arthur C Clarke, there were those Friday nights… Sci-fi movies on TV where I found such gems like
The Day the Earth Stood Still, the iconic
Forbidden Planet,
Tarkovsky’s Solaris and many more features which ignited my passion for the genre.
Nowdays, with space operas long gone and the rise of CGI-fuelled ventures, I have had less time to devot to this childhood passion.
Thanks to this site, I can go back to memory lane and even re-discover treasures from the silver screen, television and litterature…

Badger Badger Badger
This site is entirely dedicated to a strangely hypnotic animation featuring some badgers, a mushroom, and a snake. Be warned, it will infest your mind with its repetitive music and simple 2-D animation.
It’s too late for me, the badgers now control my mind…my last act of free will is to warn you of this insidious web site in the hopes that you can avoid its nefarious clutches and save humanity…badger, badger, badger, badger, badger…
