Watched it for the umpteenth time last night. 42 years old and as long as you're not watching the original theatrical release, it's a near perfect film. A pure masterclass.

Hello new followers! I know that many of you found me because of the birthday posts and cover art. I have been writing religiously about the texts-- published primarily between 1945-1985 -- on my fanzine website for more than a decade: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/

I'm an obsessive reader and writer of whim. I've conducted review series on diverse topics from Native American SF authors to generation ships.

Dr Hodei is in love with two spheres: 1) A gas giant called Jupiter & 2) his deceased nonbinary lover turned SEAX drone: Amaranth (both depicted in the magnificent cover art by @carlydraws ). 🪐🚀🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈

Everyone wants to remake the good stuff... what about remakes of the truly awful shows with fantastic potential in their ideas?

My suggestion: a modern version of Ark II (1976) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127989/?ref_=ls_t_19

"Three young scientists travel around the country in the 25th century after the world has been ravaged by pollution. In their hi-tech RV (called Ark II), they study the land and help out those in need."

Is that not a fantastic premise?

Happy one-year birthday to ANOTHER LIFE, my novella about reincarnation! @StelliformPress brought this to life one year ago today. Many thanks to everyone who has bought, read, or reviewed it!

A Spanish translation is coming soon from Crononauta, and a Catalan translation from SF Fábula. 🥳

Once again, I present my humble offering to anyone seeking a cozy sci-fi read:

Weaving In The Ends, a novella duology that starts with a summer fling & ends with a comedic Winter Solstice brawl.

It's a feel-good chosen family story, and it's a quick read that can be read as a standalone, or as an easy springboard into the world of 2 connected novels.

Available in print & ebook now, audio coming soon!

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

Somehow in the past week or so I've fallen back in love with the aesthetics and vibe of the Star Wars prequels (especially "Attack of the Clones") as well as the Old Republic games. Nothing else quite looks like them. I want to live in that world...

Why do I have a sinking feeling that I really just want to live on Pacific Coast Highway in an exact replica of Padmé's apartment?

It seems a person can get married there. It's expensive for a wedding venue, but since my dream wedding doesn't involve a crowd, that helps to keep costs down, so splurging on the venue might be more financially attainable than I'd expect.

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.
