science fiction

The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension is a curious film insomuch as, right up front, it has an inconsistency with the title (the opening credits simply read 'Buckaroo Banzai," despite what the film is officially called), and the opening narration veers considerably away from the words on the screen. Weird. At any rate, it's a fun, frolicking, rollicking comic book movie, that, also, curiously, has few highs and lows; actually none. It presents its camp, comic book vision as evenly, as sedately as actor Peter "Naked Lunch, Robocop" Weller. Jeff Goldblum, Dan Hedaya, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, and Ellen Barkin are along for the ride.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan
Unsurprisingly, the sequel to Star Trek: The Motion Picture was shorter and less of a slog than the top-heavy original, which seemed to drag on entirely too long. This time around, we have a classic "even-numbered" Trek film, one geared toward tackling the big question every science fiction and "Star Trek" buff always ponders: how long will it take for the redoubtable James Tiberius to whoop up on some butt-noggin Klingon ass? In this sequel, nothing flat, although it isn't Klingons here that pose the problem for Admiral Kirk and the merry crew of a reoutfitted Great Bird of the Galaxy starcruiser, it's that damn Ricardo Montalban, who, as Khan Noonien Singh, caused so much trouble in Episode 22, Season 1 of TOS, "Space Seed." Here, Khan and his crew of bad Seventies rock band rejects are holed up on some dismal planet, just licking their space chops over the prospect of getting revenge on one James. T. Kirk.

Artificial Interactions
I met you in an alley—the one off of Fifth Street, where the homeless huddled around their trash can fires, under the neon shop signs that turned night into day. The light chased away the shadows and they went crawling into every nook and side street of the city; but I was proud and tough, an alley didn’t scare me.

They Who?
Nineteen Eighty-Eight was a damn fine year, but it's generally not conceded, among the conspiracy-minded, to be a year when anyone got "Red Pilled." No, that peculiar, Matrix-derived designation for the time when the Red Pilled finally, finally, finally, see the world (to adapt a line from Mel Lyman) "as it really is," was still in the future. All the pilling, red, blue, or otherwise, would come along in the fullness of time. This was pre-internet, and conspiracy bulletins were still xeroxed and sent through the U.S. Mail.

THE BIG CRUNCH THEORY
We've all heard about the Big Bang, and I am really sad that the series has ended. Well, here, of course, I'm talking about the Big Bang that actually started everything. Again, most people have heard of that, but what do you know about the Big Crunch? And no, I'm not talking about some random candy bar. While most scientists believe that our universe began with a massive burst of energy, opinions remain divided about how everything will one day come to an end. There's a range of theories, such as the Big Freeze and the Big Rip, but the one considered to be the most likely scenario is the Big Crunch.

Perceptual Phantoms. Content Warning.
Let us suppose, prior to our birth; that we humans are energetic beings, able to lead full lifetimes of pure perception that lies beyond the confines of what is considered to be our baseline reality.

Star Trek: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"
Massive Ted Cassidy, who portrayed "Lurch" on the old "Addams Family" TV show, stars here as a giant Kanamit-type character who is, in actuality, a killer cyborg. Kirk and Nurse Chapel (Majel Barrett-Roddenberry) beam down to Ye Olde Star Trek World to examine the inside of a D&D cavern and get two Red Shirts (Vince Deadrick, Budd Albright) killed. They're there to check up on Dr. Cory (Michael Strong), who came here, oh, a long time before just to examine the remains of the "Old Ones'" (borrowed obviously from H.P. Lovecraft, as this episode was penned by none other than Robert Bloch) lost civilization. Seems the Old Ones were particularly adept at making life-like cyborgs that are indistinguishable from human beings.
