Geek Media Round-Up: February 2, 2009

2 Feb 2009  Media

Film

    Terminator Motorcycle
  • Director J.J. Abrams says his reboot is true to the original but also a “completely different experience.” Kinda like Phantom Menace.
  • Not a Planet Anymore lists Top 5 most bad-ass Doctor Who Moments, but omits those freaky angels from “Blink.”
  • One of the writers behind Eagle Eye has been working on a sequel to Ridley Scott’s Sci-Fi classic Blade Runner. Shit. Hollywood, leave my childhood favorites the hell alone.
  • Wired’s Underwire blog has posted preview images of the upcoming Terminator Salvation, including a side-by-side comparison of the various Terminator chassis.

Internet

  • io9 has created a Flow Chart from which you can derive your own episode of Star Trek.
  • What if the Wrath of Kahn had been an Italian Opera?

Literature

  • Are these the Top 15 Greatest Science Fiction Writers of All-Time? Mania.com thinks so. I say it’s a good start, but perhaps it doesn’t tell the whole story.
  • Free Fiction: Listen to “The Last Dog” by Mike Resnick at Clonepod.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Dragon’s-Eyes” by Margaret Ronald at Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
  • Free Fiction: Read the flash fiction “The Fallen Angel” by Mike Resnick.
  • The Guardian reflects that mainstream literature is content to borrow Sci-Fi’s workings even while scorning the genre on the whole in Science fiction: the genre that dare not speak its name.
