Does the world really need more Buck Rogers? The seminal #scifi character is reportedly returning to the big and small screen in the not-to-distant future. https://t.co/qG1odlCjaR

Is it time to rediscover Hawkwind, that forgotten British band from the 1970s that fans of #scifi author Michael Moorcock might dimly recall? https://t.co/f28LHTLfco

Read my #review of the #scifi #movie Mission Mars on SciFinds. It’s hard to believe that it came out in the same year as 2001: A Space Odyssey. https://t.co/sYZoomnZGD

This list from @TIME claims to list the 100 best #fantasy #books of all time. Interestingly, nearly half of them were published in the last 10 years. https://t.co/HjAaE7O2ED

Which do you choose? A deluxe limited edition of H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine signed by the author’s great-grandson for a mere $26,865.90 at https://t.co/51zaPfjlNd or get a first edition actually signed by Wells himself for $7,500 at https://t.co/PJ3IO3HnEw

Some have said The Horror at 37,000 Feet is the worst movie that William Shatner has ever made, but I actually kind of liked it. Watch it then read my review on SciFinds. https://t.co/LtoOCx49Zo

Anticipation is high for the new #Dune movie because it’s such a dense book to adapt for the screen. This story discusses Lynch’s effort and Jadorowsky’s never-made film, but somehow overlooks the Sci-Fi Channel’s under-appreciated mini-series. https://t.co/AquMLn6gTR

For SciFinds, I check out ‘Warning from Space,’ an early Japanese #scifi #movie that is a lot better than most from that time. https://t.co/Qqidqe7RkA

The TV adaptation of Iain M Banks’ #scifi Culture series has been cancelled which is probably a good thing because it’s one of those universes that would likely be hard to adapt for the small screen. https://t.co/7Bk2MfZV2Z

The Chinese government has given the go ahead to more science fiction movies because it sees the #scifi genre as fitting into the Communist party’s broader ideological and technological goals. https://t.co/W2Cf1EBtrP

I’m reading about how this year’s Fantasia, like so many other film festivals, is shifting to take place online I wish them well, but can’t get excited by these virtual replacement events. What have your experiences been? https://t.co/8xAPnos0PU

I’ve attended (i.e. watched) a number of panels from conventions that have gone online with mixed results. On the one hand I was able to ‘attend’ the San Diego Comiccon which I would not have been able to do, with or without a pandemic in progress. But even there the range of participants and topics that were geared to my tastes were very limited, some be overt marketing. Also attended a few from an SF con that I enjoyed. Those were all free to attend mind you. But Fantasia is a film fest and I don’t think watching a film on any monitor or even widescreen TV at home will appeal to many even if they are premieres or unreleased films given that they are charging for that. I did win a ‘ticket’ to the new Jay Baruchel horror movie an watched that, but it is nothing like a real big screen experience.
Having said all that, I just saw an invitation and registered for a panel discussion at Fantasia tomorrow. Ironically it is the ‘Print is not dead’ panel hosted by Rue Morgue magazine.

Red Planet Mars is an odd Cold War artifact, a movie about how contacting Martians could save mankind. Here’s my quick SciFinds review of this #scifi oddity. https://t.co/3OmkaGLyHV

I’m back home from the cottage and have an internet connection so I can catch up on the list of this year’s Hugo Awards winners. Not having read any of the nominees, I have no opinions , but it gives me more titles for my TBR list! https://t.co/RBVlcsg122

Those are all incredible episodes and it’s an impossible task to rank one ahead of the other. I really should embark on an X-Files re-watch some day.
