I wouldn't read much more into it than JJ Abrams not being a Trek fan in the first place
If you want a conspiracy theory, then giving Spock an on-screen hetero love interest sabotages the long tradition of Kirk/Spock fan slash. However, I don't think JJ Abrams would have thought about that not having been a Trek fan in the first place
I'll take "Paywalled articles I have no desire to read" for $400, Alex. What a silly topic. It's more of interest to real estate agents than Sci Fi fans.
I’ve seen a lot of these, but not lately. The two standouts for me were absolutely HATING “Runaway” and being rather impressed with “The Quiet Earth”. That one has stuck with me for decades and I’ve only seen it twice. I’m not sure how well any of these will work in current times, but if I was going to recommend any, “The Quiet Earth” would be first on my list. I agree with the praise for “Enemy Mine” and “Starman”. I’d also suggest a double feature of ‘Buckaroo Banzai’ with the unlisted “The Brother from Another Planet” – no idea how that one missed the list. Speaking of which, where’s “Liquid Sky” and/or “Le Dernier Combat”? Maybe those last two aren’t listed because they’re too low-budget/art-school.
Funny, I just found their reddit account a day or two ago by accident while looking up something tech related. Made me wonder how much of it was due to my search and how much of it due to the importance of his account due to the IAmA.
I feel like it received the attention it deserved when it was originally released. I’m sure a fresh coat of paint and updating some of the more weird control choices would make it easier to get into for new players, but I have zero interest on remake like that.
Like all entertainment, being an author is generally not lucrative unless you are established as an author or some other kind of entertainer with name recognition. Once you are and can negotiate things like film rights or future book royalties then the sky is the limit.
Getting your novel picked up as the basis of a high profile film release certainly helps, in both direct cash and increase in visibility/sales for that book and its sequels.
