In a year that we would rather forget, 2020 still managed to produce some decent #scifi #movies. These were some of the best. What are your picks? https://t.co/0NeAzxhXmE

I think it’s a stretch to say that #cyberpunk was inspired by a 1960s literary movement just because Blade Runner was very loosely based on a PKD book from that decade. I would argue that it’s very much a product of the 1980s. https://t.co/0QLeFdUrmQ

Four Sided Triangle is an interesting take on the Frankenstein story, but with a love angle. I review this early Hammer #scifi #movie at https://t.co/dO7kqgXoSE.

Check out this list of 10 #scifi #movie flops that should have been more successful than they actually were. I certainly agree with the inclusion of John Carter on the #list. https://t.co/T9E5t48EqE

Moon Zero Two is a groovy space Western from Hammer Films from 1969 that imagines life on the moon in the futuristic year 2021. Sadly, the future turned out very differently. Read my review on SciFinds at https://t.co/RSBCZrrj2v

If it weren’t for this legendary #scifi writer, the Bill and Ted movies may never have happened. https://t.co/MyywP70HJQ

This is where special-effects master Ray Harryhausen found inspiration for his terrifying movie monsters. https://t.co/75zUcdyZ8U

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

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

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 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

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

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
