Sci-if and Me

It's just about me and the programmes I like to watch, which all tend to be Sci-if, hence the name "Sci-if and Me"

It is past midnight and I'm doing laundry

Yes dear readers of my blog. I am a twit!
But it still doesn't stop me loving sci-fi.

Okay! Tonight I will talk about GalaxyQuest:
Now I first watched this film on a plane years ago and then a month later it came out at the cinemas, which confused abit. I wish I had gone to watch it at the cinema as well, but I was skint at the time.

Anyway, this film stars:
- Tim Allen (The man who play santa in the "Santa Clause" triogy and a man who can change in to a dog in the "Shaggy Dog". Please do not take these in to account before thinking of watching GalaxyQuest because if you do then you'll miss out on a great film. Mind you I like those other films, but some don't. I think I'm a child at heart.)
- Sigourney Weaver (From those cool "Aliens" films. In this she get to play some different, which is nice.)
- Alan Rickman (from so many films. Many will know him as Snape in the "Harry Potter" films. One of my friends has a massive crush on him)
- Tony Shalhoub ( from the tv series "Monk" in which he plays brilliant San Francisco detective with obsessive compulsive disorder)

Four main brilliant actors in a sci-fi comedy, which is by most seen at a sci-fi spoof, but it many ways it's also saying how cool sci-fi is. What would it be like if what a sci-fi programme turned out to be real? Which has also been a question that is asked in Stargate SG-1 afew times because there's afew episodes where they is a television show inside the programme based the stargate. *I've confused myself in that sentence*

Well, I best tell you what the film is about, so I'll quote what IMDb says because it saves me time and effort, and plus you get a better description that I could make at the moment because my eyes have gone funny:
Eighteen years after their sci-fi adventure show "Galaxy Quest" was cancelled, actors Jason Nesmith, Gwen DeMarco, Alexander Dane, Tommy Webber, and Fred Kwan are making apperances at sci-fi conventions and store openings in costume and character. They're wallowing in despair and at each other's throats until aliens known as Thermians arrive and, having mistook the show for fact and consequently modeling their entire culture around it, take them into space to save them from the genocidal General Sarris and his armada.

And that's it!
