Sci-Fi Shenanigans (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/profile.php/blog/soledad_moon For those of you who haven't figured it out, I'm on a quest to cut movies completely out of my life. So while there will still be movie reviews in here, they will start to slide off as 2012 rolls on. So what will take its place? I've decided to go with science topics that would make for interesting stories but could also pose many logistical ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:01:51 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746161 Yeah, I know I've been terrible about posting in this blog this year. I admit I've been channeling more energy into my photo blog and trying to make my entries here a little more substantial. After all, I am a quality over quantity kind of girl. That said, I must write this entry to celebrate the fact that the new Star Trek movie is set to start filming on January 15, 2012. What is this entry? A veritable Star...[Read Full Post] Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:49:50 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/740262 Another movie review? One of my co-workers recommended this movie to me because she knows I like sci-fi. This is a kid's movie, and the sci-fi elements are a bit cliche in nature. On the other hand, it is rather funny. It lampoons the UFO-believing crowd with some of the most humorous lines in the film, and Doctor Harlan's shenanigans ma...[Read Full Post] Sun, 16 Oct 2011 20:53:11 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/737092 If anyone's looking for me on Saturday, well, I'm going to be in the theater watching Star Trek on an IMAX screen. It's too bad it's not an Omnimax showing. THAT would blow my mind. So, um, yeah. Star Trek. IMAX. My Saturday afternoon just got booked. I can't decide if I should be ashamed or not. Whatever. Reg...[Read Full Post] Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:22:05 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/735302 WARNING: This entry is somewhat spoilery. If you have seen Season Three of nuWho or do not plan on watching it, you should be good to go here. As work continues to drain me of my sanity, I keep thinking about fanfic, namely reading it. Aside from a roughly 1500 original () story, I haven't really had time...[Read Full Post] Sun, 18 Sep 2011 13:57:26 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/734410 [Link: 'Science appears to support spoilers']. I'm thinking I should add io9 to my links list, because I keep stumbling upon great stuff from that site. Anyway, while the study itself doesn't directly use sci-fi stories, sci-fi has been one of the most notorious genres for spoilers running amok like corporate donations to political cam...[Read Full Post] Sun, 14 Aug 2011 11:51:01 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/731520 Hey, look! It's a movie review! I actually watched this movie way back in January. In this case, though, I feel my procrastination made a difference. Why? It has to do with the film's pacing. When I first watched it, I thought the pacing of *kind of crap*. To some extent, I still feel that way. The time spent on Charlie didn't do a ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 07 Aug 2011 17:04:57 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/730902 I found this on the AV Club site not too long ago. Prepare to squee in three, two, one.... [Embed #//www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJiMUzJHYFk&feature=player_embedded] I want one. Oh, and for those of you that are into robotics, you can learn about the EZ Builder robot controller and other building information. Still, the point of this video and its se...[Read Full Post] Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:39:04 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/730819 While glancing over IMDB links, this morning, I found [Link: 'a helpful guide for surviving Comic Con']. Granted, I didn't hear about Comic Con until 2007 or so, but it seems the word on the street is the gathering has been selling out over the last few years of its four decade existence. Regardless, I have my own impressions, most of which involve how great it is not to go. However, the schedule for this year kind of makes me wish I was going, if only for the sheer giggle factor. So what would I do if I went? Well, let&#39...[Read Full Post] Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:31:43 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/729118 For some strange reason, this doesn't surprise me. [Link: 'Star Trek release date possibly getting pushed back?'] I've both been waiting for this speculation to go mainstream and dreading it. This has probably been floating around in the truly sci-fi oriented forums for a while, but due to my schedule I can't possibly even try t...[Read Full Post] Wed, 25 May 2011 22:45:30 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/724730
