Battlestar Galactica + The Walking Dead = Falling Skies.

Call it an aversion to negativity or not knowing how to keep a story about the end of the world rolling for 24 episodes a year over six or seven years, very few TV series have dealt with the apocalypse in any meaningful way. Lately though, this has started to change.

To be sure, there were a few apocalyptic series from the past but not many.

The Desert Demons
by Will Murray & Lester Dent writing as Kenneth Robeson

The skies over California explode with blood-red energies that resemble demon cyclones, but behave like intelligent life.

Nothing can stand in their terrible path. Men, machines, even buildings are devoured by the all-destroying Desert Demons. What are they? What do they want?

Far away in his Fortress of Solitude, Doc Savage receives the summons to danger. Radioing his small band of fighting specialists, the mighty bronze man orders them to rush to Los Angeles, prepared to combat the otherworldly menace.

But this time it's different. This time it's personal…

For one of their own has fallen victim to the unstoppable, unearthly things.

I'm guessing that with this poster writer/director J.J. Abrams is trying to evoke the feel of certain 1980s films like Goonies and E.T. the Extraterrestrial; which are evoked to a certain extent with the Super 8 poster.

I just wish that the poster had been illustrated just a bit better. In the poster it appears as if Super 8 lead Joel Courtney has a bit of a droopy eye like the character Sloth did in Goonies, and actor Kyle Chandler seems to be missing a bit off the top of his head in the poster as well.

Some of my fondest memories as a teen are of watching movies at the drive-in theater that used to be in Decatur, Indiana. I didn't go there that often, but somehow that experience of sitting out beneath the stars and taking in a movie, or alternatively huddled in a car trying to make out what was happening on-screen as a thunderstorm passed overhead, stays with me to this very day.

That drive-in's been closed for a long while now, but there's not a summer that goes by that I don't think about what it would be like to visit that place just one more time, to take in just one more double-feature covered in bug-spray.

What I've decided to do this summer is to try to recreate that drive-in experience by spending each weekend taking in a double-feature like I used to at the drive-in, only this time in the comfort of my home.
