You guys don’t get it: Trump wants to take the US to a whole new world...

I’m a dinosaur, all I read are physical books...

On her first day at the UN, Haley threatened countries that did not vote with the US, even warned that they’d be noted---insinuating some kind of blacklisting. How that kind of behavior could be mistaken for “moderate” is really beyond me...

But...does anyone seriously expect that? I thought it was just a bit of wishful thinking by those who wish TLJ had been a better movie. Fact is, what’s done is done, there’s no going back. What people want now, I believe, is that Disney does a better job handling the franchise moving forward, with better plots, better…

Really loved Rendezvous With Rama, too, one of Clarke´s best novels, IMHO. To be fair, I think most of the blame for the awful sequels should go to his partner/co-author, one Gentry Lee. Lee probably wrote most of it, with Clarke basically just signing his name; there’s stuff there that I’m pretty sure Clarke would…

Oh, I didn’t even bother with 3001...that was just too much! Unfortunately, in his late years Clarke did a lot to spoil his own legacy by producing unnecessary sequels to his classic novels, such as 2001 and Rendezvous with Rama(the Rama books are the most cringeworthy of all...) The best thing, IMHO, is really to…

I read the novels, but I really don’t see them as a source of ‘explanations’ for the movie. To me, the book and the movie are different creatures, each reflecting the vision of its author. Kubrick took the story beyond the ‘mere’ alien encounter concept, and he did so exclusively through his unique mastery of sound…

Just saw him—briefly—in the new Farenheit 451 movie. Looking a lot like the dinner-table Bowman these days...

But, Quintet really sucked...

That’s a matter of opinion, everyone’s entitled to their own. Me, I just stopped watching Trek series altogether while B5 was on, as it was so far beyond them in every way.

That scene between Sisko and the Prophets was one of the things which threw me off DS9 entirely. So, this guy encounters these godlike, eternal beings, and instead of tying to learn about them, HE teaches THEM about inanities such as baseball, hot dogs, etc! Like some kind of spiritual experience in reverse, where the…

Secretariat was a stable genius...

She’s the FBI agent on Limitless, that’s all I know. Absolutely clueless about the guy...

I suppose she shared Crick’s helix-inspiring LSD trip, too, right...?

The ones I found most compelling were the BANNED ones, especially the one by Rupert Sheldrake, who dared to list science’s top ten ‘dogmas’. That one was actually taken off the site, but fortunately it had already been downloaded and preserved. Don’t know if it changed my mind so much, but it introduced me to…
