lift-off countdown
Hello, Sheila and all the most Sophisticated of Boom Boomers!
Also, yay early Madonna!
Turned on MTV Classic for the first time today and they're playing the Humpty Dance video
Hey Sheilaaa B & Boom Boom clan!
Carmichael, two out of three ain't bad?
Oh, also, in general, for those interested in the intersection of SF and seventies music, Strange Stars by Jason Heller is a pretty encylopedic story and catalogue of that!
Vanessa you got the right Tar for this one !
(Not to be confused with Space Opera by Jack Vance, which is about an opera. In space. I mean, it has its charms, but still.)
virtual.filmlinc.org...
So up your alley. Not many more soulful than this awesome film.

STARMAN (JOHN CARPENTER, 1984)
Big yes to Forbidden Planet!
I'm more books than movies with SF, I have to say. I don't think most SF movies really do much with what I love about SF: testing and probing the boundaries of what we think human beings are and can be.
Arrival is an excellent case study of that. The novella is brilliant. But I avoided it for a long time because I had seen the movie.
Claire Denis's High Life from a year or two back was excellent, though it's rough going sometimes.
I also second Contact (1997) and would like to add
"On the Silver Globe" (Polish: Na srebrnym globie) (1988) it's so beautifully shot, dreamy landscapes, haunting visuals
venir au monde en 1976: l'enfance? Mais c'est ici, nous n'en sommes jamais sortis....!
Like . . Whenever you look at either or . .
L'âge de Cristal 1976 again

Great Untold Gold this morning, Monica!

George Méliès “A Trip To The Moon”(1902)

Arriving a little late today, and very glad
to be here with all of you.

Launched on 3rdNov. my B-Day - obviously a cosmic day.
meeeeooooowwwww from the sixties
- James Tiptree stories
- 2001 (Film & print)
- Clockwork Orange (Film & print)
See (for strong women) The Fifth Element and the Alien franchise; the series Firefly ... and Forbidden Planet.
Space oddity on WABC FM Summer’69.
With a phony DJ that they called
Brother John Love!! Really.
Known in the USA as Five Million Miles to Earth.
Almost Lovecraftian. A bit Dr.Who-like...
but Anthony Burgess anticipated so many aspects of 2020/21 USA society ;;;
Gear or grrrrr?
Her work pushed gender issues well beyond LeGuin ...

Now, let's see how a drink and some sunshine go with this show ...
Primer
gimmies: Metropolis, Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Fifth Element
Ikarie XB-1 - Really fascinating B&W outer space epic from Chechoslovakia from 1963. I like to think that Kubrick watched this one and "Quatermass and the Pit" before cooking up "2001." Subtitles are OK, right?
Creation of the Humanoids - Tensions rise as androids are more closely incorporated into human society because of declining birth rates. VERY slow and EXTREMELY talky, BUT it has more ideas and plot points than any other five SF movies. Great makeup from Hollywood pro Jack Pierce (created the original Frankenstein makeup) and great cinematography by Oscar-winner Hal Mohr, with rich, saturated color. Did Philip K. Dick see this before writing "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"?
Walt: 'Lathe of Heaven' by LeGuinn blew my mind as a kid on TV.
www.bbc.co.uk...
Did i mention i had homemade Sabzi....😋
And come to think of it Kurt Vonergert’s Slaughter House 5 was made into a film (better than the novel in my opinion) by George Roy Hill.
I mean, what is not to absolutely love?
Beneath the Rising (Premee Mohamed) is a great novel of sort of decolonizing a Lovecraftian horror/SF story. Really fun and honest.
The Breath of the Sun by Rachel/Isaac (my copy says Rachel) Fellman is a heartbreaking SF book about mountains.
Ann Leckie's Justice trilogy is the best kind of space opera.
Everyone on the Moon Is Essential Personnel by Julian K. Jarboe is a book of super-sharp working-class-conscious short stories.
The Breach, by M. T. Hill is maybe the best first contact novel I've ever read.
They Will Drown in Their Mothers' Tears is time-travel SF set against the backdrop of Eurocentrist horror. A hard book but excellent.
This Is How You Lose the Time War is a time-travel, antiwar love story that has some of the most lovely writing I have seen in a loooooong time.
You know, if there's a list being compiled.
UncleMarty, I started The Cities We Become yesterday!
Oh, the previously mentioned Cathereynne M. Valente has another excellent book (that I've read; she has a lot of books!) called Radiance: space whale oppression, movie crews, and hallucinatory vaudeville.
Oh, crap, and Claire Vaye Watkins, Gold Fame Citrus! It's "cli-fi," but it's just unbelievably well done.
All China Miéville books. All of them.
Full metal alchemist, Michiko & hatchin, & samurai champloo, and fooly-cooly are some good animes from the past 20 years
editorial.rottentomatoes.com...
- it might prompt a memory in someone.
Yeah, we have been discussing a Hal Hartley retrospective around the Haversackerai, too!
@gurldoggie - ou I still need to check that out - I did see clip from a very sad episode with a recording with their parents
@Heidee I heard it's very scientificly accurate!
P.S You should make your NYU Zoom talk available to your loyal listeners.
P.P.S. I assume you are going to play Patti Smith's Distant Fingers before the end of the show.
Hitting Ken's posting limit soon .... LoL

Hello!
ALF
Mork & Mindy
I guess presumably in an ore cart.
And yeah, there's pretty much no news about how horrid Joss Whedon is that will make me not love Firefly.
Michael 98145, don't touch me plums! :) (was that Victor Victoria?)
The Show was out of this Dunya
The Space Oddity cover earlier was cool; I could only think of Natalie Merchant or the Langley Schools’ versions
My pleasure, Sheila.
And THANKS! This was both far out and down to Earth -- the best kind of SF: interrogating the reaches of human achievement to say "yes? where have you been? and where can you go?"
Thanks so much.
Be well, Friday Friends!
thanks for all the convo and recommendations, folks.
take good care, all!
Be well, all. May, the fourth, be with you.
Not a fan, though, of most other no-effects psychological sci-fi-fi - Hal’s has heart and depth, but most are basically boring near-mumblecore films.
I need to look up an indie about time travel to recommend now...
