I have a confession to make. I’ve never seen Psycho. I’ve seen Rear Window. I’ve seen The Birds. I’ve even seen most of Bates Motel. But I have never ever in my whole life watched Hitchcock’s masterpiece.

If you watch a lot of (older) movies you’ll notice that studio logos are generally quite consistent. The spinning globe of Universal, the Paramount mountain, the Warner Bros. shield, they’re all refined over time, but the basic premise has remained the same for decades.

Is Having Cable Ever Worth It?
Posted in: Today's Chili
Dear Lifehacker,
I know you guys aren’t big fans of cable, but I’m about to get my internet hooked up and the company is offering me a TV package. I do like to watch plenty of TV and even some sports. Should I at least consider cable? I’m worried Netflix and Hulu won’t be enough.

A Farscape Movie is Coming!
Posted in: Today's ChiliA decade ago, back before the name change when there were actually cool series on Sci-Fi Channel that had nothing to do with ghost hunting, Farscape was one of the coolest shows on the network. The series had some cool characters and was cancelled before many fans were ready for it to go.
If you were a fan of Farscape, word is that a movie is in the works. The tip that a film is in the works from writer Justin Monjo. He is writing the script and the film will reportedly be directed by Brian Henson, son of Jim Henson. It’s unclear if we are talking theatrical release or made-for-TV movie.
The movie will follow the son of John and Aeryn, D’Argo Sun Crichton. I don’t recall much about a child from the series but apparently the film’s plot has D’Argo hidden by his parents on Earth because he possesses some kind of superpowers they don’t want evil aliens to know about. The core of the film is said to pick up when D’Argo is 19 and he ends up joining his parents on their spaceship.
