[meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
Hi Everyone, I'm attempting to create a comprehensive list of pop cultural references in recent years in which meteorites appear in a supporting or lead role. I'm primarily looking at works of fiction but scientific references of the pop cultural ilk will be similarly welcome. Looking for films, TV, books, etc. Any input would be much appreciated.

Enemy Mine, 1985 Dennis Quaid and an alien Drac build shelters from Mammoth like tusks and turtle shells(?) to protect themselves from large meteorite storms. Pretty cool effects for '85.

[meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
Here's a cult classic: Night of the Comet (1984) PG-13 Earth has been ripped to shreds after a run-in with a killer comet, and those who have survived are in a fight for their lives in this campy cult classic. Valley girl Reg (Catherine Mary Stewart) and her sister (Kelli Maroney) discover they're two of the lucky few. But scientists are after them, and now they must run. Why? Because the researchers believe they need the blood of survivors to concoct a drug that can save them all from further ruin. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
Hi Darryl, Great idea. Here are a few that readily come to mind - you probably already have these on the list. Some of these are not really meteorite-related per-se, but fit loosely in the group perhaps. Armageddon (movie) Deep Impact (movie) Lucifer's Hammer (book) Meteor Man (movie) Shoemaker Levy-9 event (brought comets and NEO's to the mass media, tons of documentaries) Meteorite Men Meteorites! (1998 made for TV movie) Meteor (movie) 2012 (the nonsense and the movie) Stewie's head is compared to a meteorite by Brian in song (a Family Guy episode) There are "meteorite" shoes and cosmetics all over eBay - FWIW.

Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
That's a pretty daunting task to set for oneself Darryl. I think the more you look the more you'll find. Movies, TV shows, commercials, books, song lyrics, comic books, video games... and that's just in the US... I see people have already referenced 60's and 50's examples, even though you said "recent". There is the Gilligan's Island episode "Meet the Meteor" (Available for viewing here: http://www.thewb.com/shows/gilligans-island/meet-the-meteor/097e2c1d-3384-4e2c-b9d1-c98a4e193a82 ) A few years ago there was a commercial for a pickup truck that was hit by a meteorite and drove away unharmed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_OtbXmu9kg A band called "The Meteor Pilots" and on and on... You might want to put up a web form for people to offer titles.

Hello Darryl, I hope you will include a strongly worded disclaimer stating that any information about meteorites found in that Pop culture is the result of overactive imagination, not facts. Meteorites do not glow in the dark, ooze some dark goo, make weird sounds, or cause insanity (well we could argue that one), they are not radioactive, and do not cause fires. There is already plenty of misinformation out there, lets not add to it. Thanks. And have a great weekend without snow! Anne M.

Hiya I would like to thank contributors for their input on my query of meteorites in pop culture. Very helpful. Thank you! I hope you realize the increased frequency of meteorite "hits" in pop cultural references is not just due to the meteorites themselves, but due, in part, to the passion and efforts of everyone on this list -- and that's so cool.

Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
Hi Darryl: If we are doing cult, I think that there is a scene of a puddle of water that something appears to have fallen in. Later, who can forget Levi Stubbs singing I'm a Mean Green Mother From Outer Space: Little Shop of Horrors. Also, there is Bart's Comet (do not remember seeing that go by).

Hi, All, I haven't caught up on the backlog of email, so apologies if someone has already mentioned The Monolith Monsters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Cg2xbenR4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Cg2xbenR4 Not a bad intro, considering it was done in 1957. Gathered meteorites turn the finders into stone overnight, and if they contact water the grow into.MONOLITH MONSTERS! Also worthy of note, but not quite meteorites, is Day of the Triffids. A fantastic bright green meteor shower blinds almost all on the planet.

Re: [meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE
May be a little late, but I thought of this thread when I saw this. Take a look - perhaps a movie will be made. Greg S. http://www.bdrecorder.co.uk/content/newham/recorder/whatson/story.aspx?brand=RECOnline&category=WhatsonBooks&tBrand=northlondon24&tCategory=whatsonnewham&itemid=WeED17%20Mar%202010%2017%3A14%3A39%3A113 Meteorite Strike - AG Taylor 17 March 2010 THIS book is the debut novel for AG Taylor but from the first chapter you'll find you are gunning for the main characters of Meteorite Strike. To say it's a sc-fi action thriller doesn't do the 334 pages justice - it's one of those tales that has you turning the pages despite yourself. Brother and sister Robert and Sarah are on a flight to Melbourne when there is a meteorite strike that brings with it a coma-inducing virus. It leaves most adults in a deep sleep, but the siblings, in common with other youngsters, appear to be unaffected. Not only that, but they all have super powers that bring them to the attention of an organisation that claims it is looking for a cure. It soon emerges that the Colonel in charge is trying to use their powers as weapons. It is a fast-paced adventure in which you quickly form attachments with the main characters who are predominantly children or teenagers. The adults who feature in the plot are few in number and almost incidental, with the Colonel quickly emerging as the "baddie" and the children's father, Daniel, triumphing over the odds a bit like Indiana Jones. It was easy to visualise the battle sequences so accustomed are we to televised action thrillers of the same ilk. Meteorite Strike (£5.99, Usborne) was written by AG Taylor who got the idea for it after a flight across Australia. He was born in New Zealand, but grew up in Norfolk. He studied English Literature at Sheffield before going on to take a teaching course at Cambridge University. Writing a book always remained an ambition and he has already penned a sequel, Alien Storm, which will be out in November. > From: dar...@dof3.com > To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:42:26 -0500 > Subject: [meteorite-list] QUESTION RE METEORITES AND POP CULTURE > > > Hi Everyone, > > I'm attempting to create a comprehensive list of pop cultural > references in recent years in which meteorites appear in a supporting > or lead role.
