Will You Be Watching? Blaxploitation Sci-Fi Show “BlackStar Warrior” Premieres Next Week

Leonard Roberts Talks New Space Comedy On Brown Sugar A new comedy reimagines futuristic space travel through the perspective of 1970s era Blaxploitation. “BlackStar Warrior” tells the story of Tyson Roderick, a space traveler, who along with his robot sidekick, Lava, try to unravel the mystery of where he came from and why he’s just so freaking amazing. And its star Leonard Roberts told us that the show’s over the top premise allowed him to go all out. “It gave me permission to go full out, because we had authenticity at both ends,” Roberts said. “For whatever reason, Those types roles don’t often just cross my desk, so it was cool to just jump in with both feet and have a ball with it.” Peep the show’s trailer above. “BlackStar Warrior” premieres June 24 on Bounce TV’s streaming service, “Brown Sugar.”

How Much Is Left? The Earth’s Resources made Interactive

Explore the world's resources and our role in the future with this cool interactive map from Scientific American! “If the 20th century was an expansive era seemingly without boundaries—a time of jet planes, space travel and the Internet—the early years of the 21st have showed us the limits of our small world. Regional blackouts remind us that the flow of energy we used to take for granted may be in tight supply. The once mighty Colorado River, tapped by thirsty metropolises of the desert West, no longer reaches the ocean. Oil is so hard to find that new wells extend many kilometers underneath the seafloor. The boundless atmosphere is now reeling from two centuries’ worth of greenhouse gas emissions. Even life itself seems to be running out, as biologists warn that we are in the midst of a global extinction event comparable to the last throes of the dinosaurs. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=interactive-how-much-is-left added by: DeliaTheArtist
