I’m a massive sci fi fan and played the ever loving shit out of Star Citizen for a while there. Loved the 6 degrees of freedom and the capability to be a person or a starship....
we are house-sitting for the in-laws, and they have amazon prime logged in on their TV. finally trying out #TheExpanse! watched ep1 last night and excited to get through more of it this weekend.
i might be able to get the account password from mother-in-law, but i really don’t want to get my own subscription or support amazon in general… is there another way to watch without uh, sailing the seven seas?
I need your help #bookstodon. One of the classes I'm taking at the graduate level this semester is Religion & Science Fiction. I read more fantasy, and would like to do my research paper on something that's not obvious (like ST/BS5/Matrix/etc.) & I'd love to use more modern sf rather than the golden age classics.
Anyone have any interesting ideas for my research paper on regarding the intersection of religion and science fiction?
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
Folks, it is an hour until #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch party. If you'd rather avoid a flood of toots about a goofy monster flick, set up a filter!
This week is a doozy, we got GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS! It looks... Uh, bad. God save this vessel and all who sail in her ^^;;;
In ONE HOUR #MONSTERDON returns! Every Sunday at 9pm EST we watch a monster movie and toot about it! If that sounds annoying, prepare to filter the hashtag.
This week we're watching THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1979)! Jack Palance is in this? Is Palance to TSoTtC as Plummer was to Starcrash? Only time will tell!
Folks in a little under an hour your dash will be overtaken by a flood of movie-related commentary that we like to call #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch-along party. If that sounds irritating I suggest setting up a block for the hashtag in your Preferences page.
So it's about an hour 'til #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watchin' event 'round these parts. If you don't want to see that, best mute the hashtag.
This week we're watchin' IT! The Terror from Beyond Space! No clown, as far as I know, so it can't be that bad.
OKAY I LET THE EVENING GET AWAY FROM ME but it is --yeesh- FIFTEEN MINUTES until #MONSTERDON which this week is PROJECT MOON BASE (1953) WHY AM I YELLING I DON'T KNOW JUST GO WITH IT
Folks, it is an hour until #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watch party.
This week we're watching KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977), which features William Shatner and about 5,000 spiders. If either of those things is a problem for you, I heartily recommend filtering this hashtag, which can be done in your Preferences.
It's 8pm Eastern which means there's only one hour left until #MONSTERDON, your weekly monster movie watch party. If you don't want your timeline full of toots about a goofy old flick, set up a filter while you can.
This week we're watching LOGAN'S RUN (1976), a sci fi thing about a dystopia that kills you at 30. Jack Weinberg, dictator?
Part of the SF Masterworks Collection. Despite being nearly 60 years old the narrative around the manipulation of the truth feels incredibly prescient. Wondering whether David Whitaker had read it before he came up with #DoctorWho story The Enemy of the World. #Books#Bookstodon#SciFi#PhilipKDick
10 authors, of whose books I've read at least five:
Ursula Le Guin
Kim Stanley Robinson
Octavia Butler
N. K. Jemisin
Becky Chambers
Iain M. Banks
Martha Wells
M. R. Carey
Lois McMaster Bujold
Vonda McIntyre
Alright it is twenty minutes until #MONSTERDON, which means if you don't want to see a bunch of nerds watching a monster movie you should set up a filter!
As "Doctor Who" turns 60, it's time to pose that perennial question: Who is the best Doctor of them all? The BBC asked five fans to make their arguments. But which of this quintet do you think is the greatest? Tell us in the comments if your pick isn't on the list (we're fans of Christopher Eccleston).
#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 1: What are your writing related New Year Resolutions?
I don't really do resolutions, but let's try this: I'll actually send my work out more this year. Get serious and make a list of agents, and just go through the list.
I contend that if Space:1999 had writing on a par with its art direction, costuming, and casting, it would still be a going concern while Star Trek would be a quaintly amusing curiosity of its time like Lost In Space. Oy vey, that writing, though, especially that second season.
Goddammit season 2 of Foundations is great. I'm annoyed at the end of every episode because it's the end of the episode. Only one more to go, and the suspense is killing me. Please don't let it be another two years until the continuation!
Once again rises #MONSTERDON, the weekly monster movie watchalong! At 9pm eastern we'll be watching and commenting on a cheesy monster movie! If this sounds bad to you, set up a hashtag filter!
This week is BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER (1960), a movie about a guy who gets transported into the far flung future of 2024, where mutants rule the wastelands!
Looking for a spaceship/sci fi game to play. Any thoughts?
