#PollMondays: What was the best scifi film of 1999?

We’re just a week away from Worldcon, and we are excited! Five of us will be there next week (Shaun, Paul, Alex, Julia, and Mike, who is last here because he’s wrong about comics :P), and we’ll all be up to no good while we’re there.

Torture Cinema Poll: August Attack of the 80s!
We realize that you haven’t even heard our July pick, Night of the Comet, yet, but it will be up soon! PROMISE!! What you’ll find when you DO listen to that one though is that sometimes the team gets really lucky and ends up watching something really kind of enjoyable. SO PICK A REAL TORTURE THIS TIME!!! We know! We’ll make it easy! We’ll only pick movies from the official torture list that were made in the 80s. … Oh, gods, what have we done!? … These choices are SO, SO BAD! … save us.
#PollMondays: Which of these sf/f characters would win in a free-for-all fight?
It’s time for another poll! This week, we’ve decided to make your life hell by forcing you to choose the character you think would most likely win in a fight. Imagine, if you will, that we stuck all of these folks in a cage match. Who would win? Why? Take the poll, and leave a comment!
#PollMondays: Which spaceship would you buy at your local dealership?
It’s a new day, which means it’s time for another silly poll! This week, we’ve got the question of the ages for you: a spaceship question. Choose wisely!
#PollMondays: Which of these super people would win in a game of Risk?
We’re rolling out a new thing on the blog. It began as a new thing on our Twitter account: #PollMondays. People seemed to like it, so we’re going to do more of it! The premise for today’s poll is simple: if these super people sat down for a game of Risk, who do you think would win? To make things more interesting, we’ve taken out all of the obvious contenders for smarts and tactics, such as Batman, Professor X, Nick Fury, Brainiac, and basically anyone who can reliably see the future. Instead, we’re giving you big, beefy superheroes — known for their ability to punch other people in the face more than their ability to strategize (mostly). Vote away!
