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...
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.
Once again it is an hour until #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a bunch of toots about a hokey sci fi flick, block the tag.
This week features STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954), in which a bug-eyed monster tries to get Earth to turn down the bass! No, I think it's about nuclear disarmament or somesuch.
We start at 9pm eastern, and you can find the movie on Tubi or YouTube. See you there!
I write at the intersection of #space, #science, #tech, and pop culture (#scifi). I’m the host/writer of PBS’s YouTube show Far Out. I’ve got a book on stargazing coming out in 2023 and co-edited the Arthurian anthology SWORD STONE TABLE.
I have a Wired column where talk about #gaming as a parent. I contribute to #StarTrek dot com and co-host of the podcast Desi Geek Girls.
Ich suche utopische Kurzgeschichten oder Romane, die in einer Nachhaltigen und Postfossilen Gesellschaft spielen, welche auch wir zeitnah erreichen könnten. Gerne Teilen! #solarpunk#scifi
It started very good: I was on our flat's balcony and my partner came out for a moment to look for something she had left on the table, completely naked, which turned me on so much that I followed her, took her into my arms and started to kiss her.
As we were about to make a step towards the sofa, we suddenly got irritated by voices, which seemed to come from inside the flat.
We separated and shouted "Is there somebody in here?" but the voices just
I can separate fantasy from reality quite well, and whilst I can totally immerse during the film or book and be totally shaken, once I finish or put them away, they don't bother me any more.
The only thing, I don't like is brutality and torture.
#Horror is, in my opinion, possibly the genre of #literature which tells most about the state of mind of its era, even more than #SciFi.
After watching “Arrival” last night, I’m fixated on the idea of nonlinear memory. It must be disorienting, and incredibly strange to remember your entire life when you haven’t fully lived it yet.
#RIP Paul Darrow, actor, 1941-2019. Best known for playing Avon in the 1970s British sci-fi TV series Blake's 7, a character famous for his unapologetic self-importance, and sardonic quips like;
"I’m not expendable, I’m not stupid, and I’m not going."
I am a Nebula Award finalist, and the Nebula conference is this week. My book, THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN, is nominated for the Andre Norton Nebula Award for younger fiction (young adult in this case). So what's the book about? I've got you covered: https://jendiagammon.com/2024/03/18/about-the-inn-at-the-amethyst-lantern/
As a UCLA student I was brought in for a test screening of Alien 3 (they got students all the time), which I thought was terrible, and I haven't watched the sequels since.
I feel more confident and ready to make a Sci-Fi adventure game. My result of studying the Unreal Engine for May 2024, the 3rd month of the transition from Unity to Unreal
