The ultimate sci-fi event! The SFX Weekender is a festival of TV, comics, books, films, games and (most importantly) like-minded fans hanging out having fun.
This was how Robert Rankin and Raygun brought the 2012 SFX Awards to a close at the SFX Weekender 3 last night. Our camera actually ran out of battery power before the end, so thanks to David Howe for YouTubing this (this is a better version than the one we posted yesterday, but it wasn’t tdrury’s fault he was further away!).
A special video Blastermind for you this week. This was one round in the Blastermind quiz at the SFX Weekender. Can you name the films and TV shows these SF and fantasy trains come from (there are 11 different ones in all) plus can you name the person with a sci-fi connection who’s singing the song?
If you’re coming along to the SFX Weekender you’ll be among the first people to see this great new comedy drama based around the world of comics publishing, Pulp. It’s on in the Screening Zone on Saturday at 4pm. Tony Leary, the hapless owner of Junk Comics, is gearing up for one last roll of the dice. His new superhero title, The Sodomizer, launches at the International Comic Show. And if life weren’t complicated enough, Tony is drafted by the police to identify another comic company that is laundering money for a gang of Geordie criminals. Aided by his trusty geek sidekicks, Rick and Keith, Tony must defy the odds if he is to become a real life hero. Learn more about Pulp here.
