National Science Fiction Day


Recommended Posts

1) AUTHOR: Lois McMaster Bujold

2) BOOK: A Civil Campaign is my literary comfort food. Funny, and a great example of exploring the second- and third-order effects of a technology.

3) COMIC: Have not seen any, and I don't count superhero comics

4) MOVIE: Kafka (I think it qualifies)

5) MOVIE POSTER: The Quiet Earth

6) TV SERIES: Tough choice between Babylon-5 or Firefly

7) ARTIST: Michael Whelan, but only because he's one of the few I know about. I will look up some of the names mentioned in this thread.

 

And I too have a soft spot in my heart for Plan Nine from Outer Space. As Scarecrow Video says of Ed Wood, he might have made decent movies if only he'd had more money and more talent. He still managed one of my favorite SF movie lines: "Because you Earth people are stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" (Or something like that. I don't guarantee I remember the exact phrasing.)
