EmptyRadar, w 30 Years on, TNG's Ghost Sex Episode Remains as Unhinged and Awful as Ever

My favorite part of that episode is right after Picard gets there and finds out what's going on. He takes one look at the ghost and is just like "Come on Beverly, we're getting out of here."

Even he was like, fuck this shit I'm out.

Hey man, that episode is OUTSTANDING meme fodder.

I could argue Interstellar being on this list but there was enough good science in it that I'll give it a pass. This is a pretty good list. The only one I haven't seen is Sunshine so I'll be watching it soon.

This Is a Religion for People

As opposed to a religion for droids?

inkican, w AMA About Producing Scifi Audio Books

'How hard is it, how does it feel, what’s surprising about it, what are the motivations behind it?'

Producing an audio book - from story to publishing onto a platform/YouTube - takes as much time as it does to write it. For example, The Rocket took me about 40 hours to write, re-write ... it took me another 40 hours to produce into an audio book, not counting whatever time Jeremiah spent on audio work.

How does it feel - It feels great, even if it's tiring, to make something cool. I want to focus on how the book will make readers feel, so I try to keep thinking about them as much as possible.

What's surprising about it - I think the thing I'm most surprised about is how anti-climactic the end state is. You make something, poured your blood, sweat and tears into it, and then ... yeah. That's it. People listen to it, some respond. Then it's onto the next thing. I won't think too much about the project after I'm done with it, but then I'll go back and listen to it again. Gives me a sense of pride and joy to be able to see something I still believe in, months or years down the road.

what are the motivations behind it? - My original motivation to tell stories is something I've talked about on the blog, so I'll assume you're asking about 'motivation to make audio books.' TL;DR - I like to make movies, too. Turning audio books into mini radio dramas with pictures is something that scratches a fun little itch for me. It's this close to making movies, and so it brings me a lot of joy to cut video/audio/SFX together in Premiere.

Dr Strangelove could be backstory for a post-apocalyptic society.

It would work for anything from A Canticle for Leibowitz to the Fallout games.

jcarax,

I agree. It’s a pre-apocalyptic movie that gets as close as possible to crossing that boundary, without doing so.

Though I would argue that there’s not a hard cutoff between the pre-apocalypse and post-apocalypse. There is also a period where the apocalypse is actively occurring. So there’s a pretty big barrier to it becoming post-apocalyptic.

No, because it’s about how the apocalypse happens, not what people do after.

There’s also nothing sci-fi about it. The Russians could have built a doomsday device, they just didn’t (as far as I know).

It’s not “post” apocalyptic, so no. I’m not sure I’d call it sci-fi either, but it’s more applicable.

ursakhiin, w Daisy Ridley Recalls Director J.J. Abrams’ Advice After Star Wars Casting: “This Is a Religion for People”

Daisy Ridley is far from making the list of things the sequels did poorly. She herself would be on the list of positives. JJ on the other hand…

It’s very sad that she people can’t separate the actors from a story. The actors very rarely have anything to do with the story on screen. The only thing they control is their performance.

I hope she pulls down some big roles that leave a more positive experience for her.

Yes

EmptyRadar, w Daisy Ridley Recalls Director J.J. Abrams’ Advice After Star Wars Casting: “This Is a Religion for People”

And it didn't matter anyway, because the folks at Disney were going to fuck it up no matter how she did.

essellburns,

The point is that she was going to have to carry the can on that, regardless of what she did.

Fans being what fans are.

I always felt bad for the whole cast, but Ridley especially. I’m not a giant fan of the sequels, but she did the best with what she was given, and in the hands of better writers/directors/execs I think it could’ve been a very different story for her and her character.

She has a lot of charisma as an actor and person, it was a shame it got wasted and then she took the brunt of the abuse from the toxic fans. A victim of the ego and greed of others.

inkican,

Her, and Rose Marie Tran.

Well him and that other director and Disney management fucked it up spectacularly

scytale, w Dune: Part Two Has Screened 10 Minutes, And The Reactions Are Praising The Sci-Fi Sequel

The preview didn’t really show much because half of it was already on the trailer, but the cinematography was beautiful. The open desert shots were gorgeous. The hype is real!
