The Thing in the Basement

[bedlamite]

The thing in the basement

Dreary British 1990s arts council funded effort. Seth Bludgeon is a steelworker who has just been laid off, and decides to take up racing pigeons and make his fortune in the lucrative world of avian betting. He rashly takes a massive wager in the pub against the local pigeon supremo Len Taint. The bulk of the film is a strange mix of social commmentary, slapstick and DIY, portraying Seth's struggle to build a pigeon loft, hampered by his having mislaid an unnamed tool in his cellar; comic relief provided by his harridan of a wife shrieking about the state of their children's teeth. Notable for a standout performance by the pigeon Dave 'Pecky' Montenari as the runt of the brood turned champion.

Edge of the Universe

[J Riff]

Edge of the Universe

The edge of the Universe is discovered, by accident, by a young astronomer.
It turns out that the Earth is actually quite close to one particular edge of the Universe, and a mission is cobbled together to go there.
When humans arrive at the edge, they are amazed to find a huge creature, approximately 19,000 miles long, hanging from the edge of the universe by one finger. Communication is established with the huge alien, and it explains that it has been hanging there since the time of the big bang, which caused it to lose its balance and fall over the edge of the Universe.
Using the creatures advanced suggestions, humans are able to aid it in clambering back into the Universe proper.
The alien is extremely grateful and rewards the humans with various advanced scientific knowledge. It also gives them some shiny beads and other cool crystals and stuff, and the humans start for home with their ship bulging with alien swag.
Unfortunately, the giant alien is unaware of the location of the home planet of the Earthlings, and as it skates away across the Universe it knocks the Earth out of orbit, and our planet disappears into the absolute fridgidity of deep space and is never seen again.
The ship full of humans, all that remain alive of humanity, try to follow the alien but it zips off towards Andromeda and is also never seen again.
Humanity, their last spaceship out of gas, sets up a base on the Moon and over the
centuries humans slowly devolve and adapt to living on a diet of Moon rocks and tiny fungii. All is well, until....

Overlord

[J Riff]

Overlord
The Overlord of the Universe wakes one morning to find an exploratory Human ship nosing around his home planet in the Pleides.
The Humans inform the Overlord that they seek knowledge, and want to be friends. The Overlord wonders who these upstart grubs are, but decides to give them some knowledge, just to see what happens.
The Humans blast off around the galaxy in their new super-powered ship, gathering technical knowledge and data until they are the rulers of the entire Miky Way galaxy.
They return to the Overlord to give thanks, and they wake him from his slumber.
"Thank You, oh great Overlord." say the Humans, and the Overlord grunts and says something along the lines of: "Well, there is a price you know. You can't just come along and take over my galaxy, little grubs, without payment in kind."
"Nay, great Overlord," say the Humans- "you have taught us well, and we are now as invincible as your own mighty self."
"Ah - so?" says the Overlord. " I do have one ability of which you are perhaps not aware, little grubs."
"Oh?" say the Humans, trying to sound uninterested, " and what might this power be, oh great Overlord."
"I have the power," says the Overlord, "to change, to mutate, to become something else entirely, something you have no power over."
"Hmmm." mutter the Humans, " I guess you will have to show us, oh Overlord."
And before their eyes the Overlord changes and grows larger and darker and more fearsome to behold than anything in the Human's ken, and he roars at them:
"Now," he roars, " I am that most terrible of all entities, and you shall pay, and scrape and beg and bow to me in my new form! I am no longer your Overlord but indeed, have become your Landlord! This millenia's rent is due, and the total is - "
But the Humans had fled, looking for a new and cheaper galaxy in which to dwell.

Planet of the Grapes.

The first interstellar flight is nearly over and the occupants have been awoken from deep cryo-sleep. A green planet with large oceans fills the screens. An exploratory team is sent down and transmissions from them cease after a few hours. Spy-probes sent down find the men in the middle of a vast field of grapes - which they realise covers the entire land area of the planet.

The grapes have been on the vine so long that their juice has turned to alcohol. The men are eventually found lying in a drunken stupor. However, tendrils from the vines seem to be alive in that they appear to have dragged several of the men into a dense section of vines. Later only their clothes are recovered and some bones as their bodies have been sucked dry.

The Dog Star

[J Riff]

It was an arful dark stormy night, and a drunken Doug Barker huddled in a poodle of water atop Mount Bouvier, his telescope fixed firmly on the firmament overhead.
He shivered as he glanced furtively through the expensive new lens he had purchased that very afternoon at a garage sale in nearby Poochburgh. This was the night, the big night he had been waiting for. The Dog Star was due to be walked.
The ancient manuscript that Barker had found in the tomb of a forgotten Aphghan King, had specified this very night, this cursed wild night - August 7, 2011 at precisely 12 midnight - as the time of the Dog Star's once-in-a-millenium walkies.
Barker barked with sudden laughter, then brayed a bit as he thought of the glory that was soon to be his. No other astronomer would be so prepared, would be so minutely focused on the Dog Star at the optimum moment, as he would, and his precise recording of the event would be instantly valuable, and sellable to the big TV people that Barker had recently acquainted himself with through his connections as a professional writer of bad puns.
11:59. The rain had almost stopped and the telescope and camera were functioning perfectly. Barked brought his eyes to bear on the bright Dog Star above. The seconds ticked down and Barker salivated slightly in anticipation. Ten seconds. Nine.
Without warning, a large dog ran up and barked stentoriously behind Barker's back, scaring him silly. He lunged wildly sideways, knocking over his telescope. He fell into a mud puddle and lay gazing up at the sky as midnight arrived, and the Dog Star wandered about the sky a bit, a giant leash of pure starlight forming its unearthly leash. Barker howled.
The mysterious dog cantered off into the wilderness and Barker leapt up and chased after it down the wet mountainside. He slipped and turned into a ball of screaming astronomer rolling down the slope at eighty miles an hour, and disappeared into an unknown gorge, never to be seen again.
In the distance, a hound howled with laughter.
