Count me in! Star Wars is, and will always be, my favorite movie (both trilogies included). Haven't seen Avatar but I'm going this weekend. Last night I picked up the boxed set of the first 3 Alien movies - wonder what I'll be watching tonight...

Ah, yes. A classic. Or rather classics. The first is still the scariest in my book. H.R. Giger, who's artwork is used in all the Alien series of movies, definitely sets the tone for what scary aliens might be like.
Some of the "funnest" SciFi, IMO, is found in the B-Movies. SyFy is having a running go at alien, monster and time-travel B-Movies today. Actually, they may be more D-movie given how bad they are.

A random sci-fi thought ....
I think it is so fucking cool that William Bell is being played by Leonard Nimoy. I love me some Spock.  Even when he's not Spock.

Oh hell ya! It was awesome to see him there. I have to admit having a childhood crush on Spock and wanting to be like him.

I've had a love affair with sci-fi going back decades. I always leaned more toward dystopian work (such as Octavia Butler but also Ursula K Le Guin) than anything like Star Wars. Lately, though, because of what is happening in science, I've been thinking about artificial intelligences and wondering what is out there that might be worth a damn.
We who are lovers of science fiction know that virtually every invention of the modern age was written about in some fashion before it came to exist. I want to see what the future will look like through the eyes of the artists whose craft is to write about it. I want to imagine our own evolution through their eyes and determine whether I truly see it as a dystopian (self-made) disaster or simply another long stretch of epochs stringed together toward the effort in species survival.
