Where have all the good sci-fi films gone (vanity)?

Ameristan” could be that movie. Download the $6.00 novel. There’s also a screenplay online.

Ameristan is a novel and a motion picture political thriller premised on the unthinkable: The United States of America becomes a conservative Muslim state where Islamic Sharia is the law of the land. You still can’t post the Ten Commandments in public schools, but Allah help you if you don’t pray toward Mecca five times a day in the public schools.

“The Mote In God’s Eye.”

Great book, still one of my favorite alien names for a scientific concept - “The Crazy Eddie Point!”

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Yes, it is a great book. And the aliens and their culture are so well thought out, and well presented. I haven’t gone to the bookstore yet for the sequel, “The Gripping Hand.”

Is it a dearth period or a quality dearth or what?

Maybe . . . it’s a lull before the real drama breaks out in the open?

“I was actually hoping the writer’s strike would have killed permanently the left wing fantasy fest of the re-envisioned Galactica.”

RDM is anything but left wing

[marajade]

I liked the 4400

[KevinDavis]

That is correct. In of his blogs he wrote that He Likes Ike... When was the last time that you heard a left wing person likes Ike??? He also dissed Edwards in the last season.

[KevinDavis]

I never saw it so I can’t comment on the show.

“I’d really like to see someone make a good budget version of “Brave New World.””

Just wait, it's called the Obama administration.

[KoRn]

"Well then, let's elect him President!"

I agree. Seriously, Bruce Willis is a Republican. I don't know how conservative he is, but I'm sure he would have made one hell of a good candidate.

[Bat_Chemist]

One of my favorite all-timers. “I came here to kick ass, and chew bubble gum. And I’m all out of bubble gum.” (In fact, there’s a freeper who uses that as his tagline.)

Or the Hillary Admin, or the Gang of 14’s admin...

A gramme is worth a damme, FRiend!
