Bill Pullman's famous speech at the end of the movie Independence Day from 1996. This really gives me the creeps. Movie directed by Roland Emmerich. With Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum. Won Oscar. ...


Spectra Pulse We're asking people on Twitter, too (@bantamspectra), but what sci-fi/fantasy books would you like made into movies? I'm pulling for the Belgariad (Eddings), Lies of Locke Lamora (Lynch), the Vlad Taltos books (Brust), and Kavalier and Clay (Chabon).

Guys - dont forget Simon R Green's Blue Moon Rising and Beyond the Blue Moon and the Nightside.

I think it is difficult for most fantasy novels to translate well into TV or movies...with the exception of some urban fantasy but most pure fantasy is better in the imagination :)


Spectra Pulse David J. Williams is stirring it up again, this time about the role of science and politics in near-future sci-fi. Check it out on Suvudu http://is.gd/1j7Av

I loved this story at Escape Pod. It's flash fiction, so it's just three minutes long. If you can find three minutes today and spend them listening to this story, I think you'll be glad you did.


Spectra Pulse I heard the man who got me reading fantasy, David Eddings, passed away. Thanks so much for the stories http://is.gd/Nagw
Jessica at 7:44am June 3
awwww noooo! Thats just awful, this is kinda like the day i found out michael Chriton died.....esp since everyone i mentioned it to had no idea who he was. *SIGHS* a literary genius and a legend in fiction and no one knows who he is.....what is the world coming to?
Spectra Pulse at 1:07pm June 3
Exactly. Reading his books is like coming back to old friends, and because of that, he lives on. I think that's testament to the kind of writer he was, and the books he wrote.
Jessica at 1:12pm June 3
i agree, my books are like my best friends...... theyre always there, always what i expect, never stab me in the back, and theyre never late. ;) Read til i die! RIP Mr. Eddings!
