I am shocked, honestly, at the fervor with which those on this forum discuss science fiction.
Where I grew up, the sci-fi kids were the anemic, sickly nerds who could recite PI to 126 digits and played games with 30-sided dice at lunch and after school. They avoided the crowds of the general population in order to spare themselves the indignity of a super-wedgie. If you asked any of them what music they were into, it was either Led Zeppelin... or they played clarinet in marching band.
The music kids - or at least the ones that listened to what I did - we spent our after school time going through used vinyl shops near the university, listening to our purchases, playing in garage bands, rifling the racks at thriftstores in search of old skinny ties from the 60's, overcoats and wicked suitjackets.
Fuck Sci-fi & Fantasy literature.
I'm sooo sick of spacemen, hobbits and trolls.
I have, and have always had absolutely ZERO interest in Dr. Who, Hitchhiker's Guide, Dune stuff... blah blah blah.
When I saw 2001 in the theater (some mid-70's rerelease) - I fell asleep a third of the way into it. I rented it in high school - fell asleep again. Maybe that's got more to do with Kubrick than Clarke.
Why do I like Battlestar Galactica or The Sarah Connor Chronicles?
It's the stories - and the sex and violence.
Mostly the sex and violence.

Between posts he plays that Wii Harry Potter game and speaks in a British accent when reciting spells.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Oh that thing? Frank didn't really mean it.

Yeah, but I only have four games, besides the pack it came with:
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (when I'm in the mood to kill zombies)
Scarface (when I'm in the mood to kill rival drug gangs)
The Godfather: Blackhand Edition (when I'm in the mood to kill rival Italian families)
Guitar Hero 3 (when I'm in the mood to kill Even Flow by Pearl Jam)
