A Brief History of Time Travel (in Movies)

If ever a movie earned its time-travel plotline, it’s Men in Black 3, which attempts to revive a movie franchise largely forgotten by audiences after its disappointing second entry. Men in Black 3 sees Will Smith’s Agent J going back to the 1960s to save partner Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones in the present, Josh Brolin in the past), and mines its late-’60s setting for jokes both obvious (hippies, Andy Warhol) and subtle (Rick Baker’s new alien designs, which are derived from the style of ’60s science fiction).

But if time travel, as the Men in Black would have it, is “illegal throughout the universe,” cinema is full of lawbreakers. It’s been 10 years since the last Men in Black movie, but nearly 100 years since the first time-travel film hit movie theaters. There are so many variations on turning the clock forwards and backwards in cinema that it’s difficult to say these films even belong to a unified “genre.” But every time-traveling movie has, in its own way, had to overcome the mind-bending logic problems inherent in its premise. And each, too, has played on a universal, if vain, human desire to experience a world that’s entirely unavailable to us—and perhaps to change things in our own.

Announcing: The Great Sherlock Fitness Challenge!

Maybe you want to get in shape for a massive parkour-style Believe in Sherlock flyering run. Maybe you need to harpoon a dead pig, or you want to be prepared to fight off mysterious strangers with swords in your flat. Maybe you just want to lose 10 pounds in case you ever get to meet Benedict Cumberbatch. If any of those are true, this is the contest for you! It’s fairly simple:

1. Sign up for Fitocracy, a great website for geeks who want to get in shape. You level up by collecting points through various types of exercise, and by completing exercise “quests” along the way.
2. Join the BBC Sherlock group on Fitocracy.
3. Between now and June 3rd, get the word out as much as possible through Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, carrier pigeons, and more. People who join once the contest is already underway will be at a real competitive disadvantage, so we need to make sure as many people as possible hear about it before it starts.
4. Between June 3rd and July 1st, exercise! And make sure you log it in Fitocracy. You can get points for everything from taking the stairs instead of the elevator to running a marathon.
5. Once the challenge ends on July 1st, prizes will be awarded as follows:

• 1st place: $50 gift credit to antieuclid’s Random Emporium, the web’s best source for round geek humor, including Sherlock and Cabin Pressure buttons.
• 2nd place: $20 gift credit.
• 3rd place: $10 gift credit.
• Random drawing: Two $10 gift credits will be given to winners selected at random from everyone who participates, so even if you’re not a gym bunny, you still have a chance to win!

So let’s get in gear to make Sherlockians the fittest group in fandom!

[edited to add:] The always awesome Cara McGee has generously offered to supplement the prizes with some of her incredible fandom teas! So you’ll be able to jog your way to a triumphant future of tea and buttons.

Dooooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
