famousblueben,
Without Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the home video market may have never experienced that '80s boom that changed movies forever.
After Thor, Chris Hemsworth says he relished throwing the superhero 'rules' out the window to play the villain in 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.' As for capes, "Hate 'em," he says. "So impractical."
The animation, which simulates the view of someone falling into a black hole, demonstrates how the bizarre objects warp light and space as you approach them.

famousblueben, On the second of the original 4 TV movies that make up what is now considered the first season of Lexx, and there is simply no other show like this. It veers from dark #comedy and satire to sex comedy to surreal and psychedelic #SciFi epic to even #horror and a musical number
And somehow, despite it definitely being a weird show, I don't get whiplash from it, its tone seems so comfortable with itself that it can touch on so much without falling apart.

The intuitive and emotional Deanna Troi and the logical Spock couldn't be more different, on paper, but that's not really the situation.
anubis2814,
thisnorthernboy, The Pelagic, progress.
nyrath, holycrap! That's beautiful!
thisnorthernboy, @nyrath Thank you. I really value and appreciate your opinion Winchell.
NatureMC, I was talking to someone who was born in the 1960s.
- Crazy, it's already 2024 - remember, for us children it was so #scifi!
- I remember the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- Old past.
- You know what annoys me about this nowadays-future?
- That we don't have a United Federation of Planets yet?
- No, that #humanity can't overcome this carnage and devastation on Earth. We're still so Stone Age.
- We're wasting so much time.
- We need #evolution.

NatureMC, @nrmacdonald Oh yes.
What have we learnt from history?
As a child, I knew old women who had experienced (at least in their families) three wars. They had survived with all devastations of their souls and had only one wish: that humanity will learn that no people wins in a war, even not the winners. But the devastations last for generations ...
thisnorthernboy, Glowy!
Just need to work out why the angle of the radiator fins is affecting the output.
Jennifer, I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Scifi #ScienceFiction
catdad, @Jennifer @bookstodon Dragon's Egg and Starquake by Robert L. Forward. (No spoilers)
Revelation Space Trilogy, Chasm City, Pushing Ice, by Alastair Reynolds.
Ring world and its sequels by Larry Niven.
Wraithe, @Jennifer @bhalpin @bookstodon seconding the Vorkosigan series. The tone in the books swings a LOT with some very dark stuff in it and then lighthearted comedy but I loved the series. Agree with starting with “The Warriors Apprentice”
Let's all go to the movies.
Located primarily in cyberspace, Sistah Scifi is among the first Black-owned bookstores focused on science fiction and fantasy in the country.
In 1950, a U.S. Army psyops officer named Paul Linebarger used a pseudonym to publish a science-fiction story titled “Scanners Live in Vain” in a pulp magazine. It was about a man named Martel who works for the “deep state” in the far future as a mysterious “scanner,” or starship pilot, and whose mind is manipulated...
