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
Ten million stars later, astronomers have found no evidence of alien technology. https://t.co/yHhPgsXt0G
Star Trek is set to introduce its first transgender and non-binary characters. https://t.co/xYzF5E8JJx
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
And free to watch in the Internet Archive

Fox is moving forward with an animated comedy version of the long-running paranormal investigation series The X-Files. https://t.co/6CZyEYoGnA
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
A new study adds credence to the theory that life on Earth may have been seeded by bacteria on Mars. https://t.co/K7eBhLVm4e
The X-Files theme song never had lyrics, until now, as the show’s cast reunites to record a charity music video. https://t.co/XRH9MbaK3G
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.
‘Spacepower: Doctrine for Space Forces’ is our clearest window yet into the actual mission of the United States Space Force. https://t.co/1ccIbemLyX
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
A group of #scifi #authors is not too happy that Saudi Arabia wants to host Worldcon in 2022. https://t.co/zDPxHLwzRp
Frederik Pohl wrote #scifi in the 1950s that predicted our addiction to social media and may offer more insights into the future beyond that. https://t.co/jKmMHR2ni0
Happy to see that ‘Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose’ tops TV Guide’s list of top 25 #xfiles episodes. What’s your favourite? https://t.co/McYjaIaxqu
The first four, in order are:
Home
Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose
War of the Coprophages
Jose Chung’s From Outer Space
Tougher for the fifth as there are so many I don’t want to exclude from the list but I’ll go with
The Post-Modern Prometheus
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.
I have a seafood allergy so I can definitely relate to this July 1957 Fantastic magazine cover painted by Leo Summers that depicts a giant lobster bothering a sunbather on the beach. https://t.co/O9SIxBi7YV
This theory says we haven’t discovered #aliens yet because they are digital beings who have put themselves into hibernation as they wait for the universe to be cooler. Don’t know how realistic it is as a theory, but it would make a good #scifi premise. https://t.co/Wh1duXOUx8
Wavelength is one of those 80s #scifi #movies that you would have rented at your local video store back in the day. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. I wrote a short review of this aliens-among-us movie on SciFinds. https://t.co/GLmI2i21on
Scientists have concluded that whatever language we’re speaking when we leave on our generation ships to another solar system, chances are it will change radically by the time the colonists arrive. https://t.co/iFlse9nZt6
‘Brave New World’ has always been one of my favourite #scifi #books, so I am interested in this new television adaptation of Huxley’s iconic work. https://t.co/dRi9zbbKpD
I’m sure Arthur C. Clarke’s list of favourite #scifi books is a lot more interesting than his list of fave science fiction #movies. https://t.co/jQWNeI1Z2U
