After watching “Arrival” last night, I’m fixated on the idea of nonlinear memory. It must be disorienting, and incredibly strange to remember your entire life when you haven’t fully lived it yet.

"Artists are people who are not at all interested in the facts—only in the truth. You get the facts from outside. The truth you get from inside." –Ursula K. Le Guin

I had to purchase my first historic fanzine for its Clifford D. Simak interview — this volume wasn’t digitized in the various online fanzine repositories. #scifi #sciencefiction

In my new interview with C. Stuart Hardwick, editor of "Tales Of The United States Space Force," he not only talks about assembling this sci-fi short story / science fact anthology, but also how it deals with both the real and perceived thoughts about the space agency.

Czesi stworzyli komedię s-f. Patrząc na recenzje i oceny, to jest dno. Ktoś skomentował, że w końcu w Czechach powinno się wprowadzić prawo, które pozwoli karać za tworzenie złych filmów (jestem za tym, żeby i w Polsce coś takiego wprowadzili).

No i to wszystko zamiast mnie odstraszać, wręcz prowokuje do tego, żebym obejrzał ten film :D

"What’s the matter, are you old fashioned? This is the twenty-second century, the enlightened century, remember? There’s nothing a girl can’t do if she sets her mind to it."

Alita - Angelo della battaglia (Alita: Battle Angel), 1990-1995(Manga) + 2019(Film)

2563, trecento anni dopo la "caduta": il dottor Dyson Ito vive ad Iron City e ripara cyborg nella propria clinica.
Qui, da pezzi rinvenuti in discarica, "nasce" Alita, apparentemente senza memorie regresse; in realtà la sua provenienza originale la renderà un elemento cardine nella lotta con Zalem, la "città nel cielo", e con colui che in essa vive.
