Ah.. AMC had Aliens on (just finished watching that) and now am watching Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Between Tina Turner's Aunty Entity and Mel Gibson's Mad Max (prior to his Last Temptation of the Christ) don't know who's more interesting..

I JUST discovered Neil Gaiman and am reading "American Gods". It is, so far, pretty brilliant.
Does Margaret Atwood fall here? :) |

You might also want to check out Good Omens and Neverwhere. |
This thread is making me think about my favorite sci-fi's through the years. Anyone remember Tron? It's going on my Netflix list...

LOVE Neil Gaiman! i have Neverwhere the Brit mini series on DVD. The book was actually based on the show. I grew up on Sci fi. Star trek (along with Monty python) was required tv watching by my Dad when I was kid. Got to stay up late or whatever it took, it was homework :) I've inherited quite a few of his 1950s/1960s sci fi paperbacks (double sided Ace etc.) Grew up on Heinlein, Philip K. Dick, Ursula La Guin etc etc. I'm a big ole geek, fringe, battlestar galactica, Babylon 5, blah blah blah. :) not exactly sci fi , but urban fantasy like Neil Gaiman with a socialist bent is China Mieville. read the Scar or Perdido Street station. He rocks. |

Oh.. I just watched the pilot of Caprica today. Interesting. And I see that BG: The Plan is coming out. I do wish they had continued the B5 series or a spin-off. I miss that. |
Hmmm, this could be a good thing or a very very bad thing me thinks...
[QUOTE=Linus;28726]I heard they were doing a remake of Tron (Tron 2.0?). QUOTE] |

Anyone else a fan of Doctor Who, whether TV or book versions?
|
Bumping a bit. Anyone else watching Doctor Who this season on BBC America?
All I can say is OMG! It's so awesome! Matt Smith makes a great mad doctor! |
Neil Gaiman's The Doctors Wife may quite possibly be my favorite Matt Smith Dr Who Episode ever. It was amazing and a half.
So anyone else like Vonnegut and I am a steampunk addict. |

And I've recently become a steampunk addict. I always like that whole concept of advanced clockwork and historical settings. I've been reading Stephen Hunt's Jackelian series. And just started Cherie Priest's Boneshaker (zombies and steampunk!) I'm up for suggestions of other authors books/series if anyone has any. |
Lavie Tidhar's Bookman is cool
I also really liked White Chapel Gods by S.M. Stirling |
I love Dr. Who! I've only been able to catch two episodes this season and strangely enough it was the same epidsode!
Unfortunately I do not like the new Doctor; he's a bit on the ugly side...but that's not why I don't like him. I just REALLY liked the previous Doctor. In fact, I think I may have had a bit of a crush on him?? Or at least wanted Martha Jones to get with him on a permanent basis; I really liked her too, she was pretty. Now from the last Doctor's companion list, I absolutely couldn't stand Donna. She was just a twit! Too mouthy and rude...shall I tell you how I really feel? LOL. |
Dark City
12 monkeys Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) Philip Dick. What does it means to be human? The only way Deckard and other blade runners can tell the difference between advanced modes and humans is the Voigt-Kampff which detects emotions. |
My favorite sci fi movie has to be DUNE. I've read the majority of the book series and they were pretty darn good too. A few of my favorite quotes from the movie:
PAUL: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. PITER: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, lips acquire stain, stains become a warning. It by will alone I set my mind in motion. PAUL: Father! The sleeper has awakened! ALIA: My brother is coming and he is bringing many Fremen warriors... PAUL: Silence! I remember your Gom Jabbar, now you remember mine. I can kill with a word! |
My honey loves Firefly.
