One week ahead of the release of their ninth studio album, Little Big Town offer an advance listen to the title cut from Nightfall.
“Turn the lights down, we can watch the stars crawl/You and I fall, baby, when the night falls,” Karen Fairchild sings, as her bandmates harmonize behind her through a gauzy, stargazing track that echoes the self-assured romanticism of vintage Fleetwood Mac. “Nightfall” was penned by Fairchild with Fancy Hagood (also known as Who Is Fancy) and Daniel Tashian, the Grammy-winning co-producer of Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour.

“I hate endings!” said the Doctor to Amy (in last night’s episode of Doctor Who, “The Angels Take Manhattan”) as he ripped out the last page of the novel he was reading. The Doctor always rips out the final page of a book, he tells Amy, because he doesn’t want the story to end. The Doctor wants the story to go on. He wants to forget his near-immortal life, he wants to forget that in the end his companions always leave him because they never have enough time and he will always have too much. He wants to forget that he is the last of the Time Lords, the end of the line.
But we are not Time Lords. We know endings come. We know our ending is coming, one way or another, sooner or later. (Hopefully much, much later!) And I think that one of the ways...

We’ve reached the end of season one (possibly our only season), of Terra Nova, Fox’s major new sci-fi effort. Let’s look back at what we’ve had and where the success and failure of the show lies… (all my reviews are hyperlinked in the episode titles)…
We began with “Genesis,” a rather ho-hum pilot that introduced us to the Shannon family, Terra Nova, Commander Taylor (Stephen Lang), and a wildly implausible future world that I never, ever wanted to see again. It wasn’t the best episode in the world, but it did a serviceable enough job.
From there we went on to “Instinct,” which introduced more characters, including Doctor Malcolm Wallace (Rob Hallett). He had a past with Elisabeth (Shelly Conn), that went almost unmentioned after this episode. It was followed by “What Remains.” This was a low-point for the season, and was basically a retread of the Star Trek episode,...

Ashish Vidyarthi has done films in several languages and now the talented actor is all set for his first major English film DAM999, releasing on 25th November 2011. However Ashish calls it his second film in English. Says Ashish, "Actually DAM999 is my second English film. I did a film called Nightfall, based on Isaac Asimov life, which was directed by an American director. However it was a short film. So you can say DAM999 as my first major English film."...

Welcome back to another Terra Nova review, this one of the episode ‘Nightfall.’ What’s the word? Lets take a look, shall we?
The Quick ‘n’ Dirty:
We start the episode with the Shannons going about their day; Jim taking Zoe to see an underground device called the Eye which basically stores everything about Earth’s history and projects images/video like some 3D amusement park ride. Maddie is ‘doing homework’, which is code for going on a secret date with Reynolds, who’s had a thing for her sing the Pilot. Commander Taylor and Lt. Washington are talking about...uh...military stuff.
Elisabeth is performing surgery in the lab on a friend of Josh and Skye’s who has some sort of 30-foot parasite in his belly. Um, Ick and Ouch.
But, a meteor rudely interrupts everyone’s day by crashing nearby with an Emp that basically fries...

Terra Nova: “Nightfall” – Recap
Terra Nova continued its streak of showing a lot of potential followed by needless squandering. That sounded mean, let me try again. “Nightfall” was actually a pretty entertaining episode, dividing the family up while a disaster struck Terra Nova in the form of a meteorite. I loved the idea of a meteorite taking out all electric power via Emp, but the way it was explored felt very typical. Don’t get me wrong, some of storylines, particularly Taylor and Sixers, did well enough, but not everything was up to snuff.
Maddy and Mark’s little date I’m sure will tweak the hearts of teenage girls everywhere, but for me it was such a waste of time. At first I couldn’t put my finger on why I didn’t like it, but AVClub’s Rowan Kaiser said it reminded him of the Anakin and...

As the Shannons prepare for their upcoming day, Jim whisks young Zoe away to a special surprise as Maddy sneaks off for a romantic picnic outside the colony with her soldier boy Mark Reynolds (Dean Geyer). Josh encounters Skye (Allison Miller) on his way to work, clutching a distressed Hunter,...

Although it is still not living up to preseason expectations, at least Terra Nova reverted back to the type of show I though it would be, and the sort of show it has the best chance of excelling at, in "Nightfall."
These people are living in a world that is both hundreds of years in the future and millions of years in the past. It is a perfect opportunity to keep the audience intrigued by mysterious storylines. That's something it has failed to capitalize on since the pilot, but did a much better job here.
The meteor shutting off all power at Terra Nova became a nice opportunity for Mira and the Sixers to go looking for the box that Taylor and company could not open. Because they found it so easily after distracting the Commander with a giant dino, it was once again clear that Mira has someone on the inside.

Forget the twin stars of Tatooine, the best sci-fi precedent for astronomy's latest discovery is a sinister story called Nightfall
Reports of the discovery of Kepler-16b, a planet that inhabits a binary star system, have been quick to compare it with Tatooine in the film Star Wars. Apparently the image of Luke Skywalker contemplating his planet's double sunset for the last time before escaping to a life of interstellar adventure is deeply inscribed in our generation's collective psyche, even for astronomers and science reporters. But there is a far better sci-fi analogy for planets with more than one sun.
In Isaac Asimov's 1941 short story Nightfall, a planet that basks in the light of six suns faces one of the rare moments of darkness that bedevil its history. Because one of the suns always shines, night is unknown to this advanced civilisation. There is no such thing as electric light.

Since I've been sick, I've got a long list of items for this Mpd, so I'm going to keep it brief.
#1: Human Centipede: Full Sequence is already filming in London and word is that it will attach 12 people. I loved the first sequence (trailer, review), but to be honest, a room full of friends didn't. F' em.
#2: Black Dynamite (review + trailer) was always a planned trilogy and director Michael Jai White recently told the Mirror that he's working on the sequel which is "gonna start where Black Dynamite left off - there's lots of things we didn't get a chance to do in the first one" and that it will be a fitting sequel. While the article doesn't specify, I'm guessing "starting work" means writing the script.
#3: Jj Abrams is developing a film with Lost director Jack Bender who called 7 Minutes in Heave which is based on...

James Wan (Saw, Death Sentence) will direct and oversee screenplay development on Nightfall, an adaptation of the 2007 graphic novel by Scott O. Brown about a man sentenced to a prison facility run by vampires, according to Deadline.
The novel focuses on David Paxton, an “industrious, right-wing survivalist” locked away in a Texas prison where vampires feed on the inmates. His only hope of escape is a riot and an uneasy alliance with a ruthless killer.
This should not be confused with the sci-fi short story by Isaac Asimov, a version of the DC Comics supervillain, or the similar script by Michael Stokes about two mercenaries who kidnap a Vampire queen.
It has been interesting to see how the vampire genre has evolved and been interpreted in the past few decades. Interview with a Vampire re-established your typical Victorian bloodsuckers in the post-modern era, only to be replaced four years later...

Finally I managed to get through a book in a day. Thank you Jeebus Isaac Asimov. I can't really say that I am a "fan" of Asimov, at least in the same sense that I can say I am a fan of Stephen King; until this book, I had only read two of his works, I, Robot and Solar System. I have another one of his to read later, Nightfall, and while I guess technically I should have read that one first, I couldn't turn down a good robot story. I love old school science fiction (The Caves of Steel was written in 1954) for one reason, and that is its predictions for the future that constantly turn into reality. I also love reading older stories like this to find comparisons in later works of fiction, both in film and literature. At 209 pages The Caves of Steel is not a wordy book,...
