    @Sweet Lou 14 still completely overwhelmed with which 3 books in the hoard to choose?
  2. Microchip
    All of them parrot the Hollywood diatribe these days. I've not heard a word out of any of them that I felt was their own for years now.

    I was very surprised I was able to secure it for reasonable money. You just never see this book in top grade.

    No one at Disney reads the comics. They turn up to SanDiego each year as complete outsiders, pretending to be one with the fans.

    So a bunch of people who have never picked up a single comic book in their lives came up with theses Disney is turning me into a jaded old fart ahead of my time!!!

    She shaped 70's bodybuilding. Her 50's micro waist was one of the mantra's Joe passed onto Arnold.

    Get a beater copy of FF #252, or Star Wars #69 for their tattoos Ok, reading through, you an attempt a home bit of rest work, you wouldn't be the first.

    I remember when that sole 9.8 FF#49 went for $44k in 2016. The lunacy was unbelievable! The stupidity of the buyer, just incredible, and staggering to my understanding at the time. Now... it looks like the bargain of the century.

    Hopefully they don't stuff it up like season 2 of Good Omens, by diving into the panderverse pool of regurgitated propaganda. Lets see if the season is actually about the characters in the stories

    A 9.8 copy is coming up in the HA January auction. Predictions for final hammer price?? https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/science-fiction/aliens-1-dark-horse-1988-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/p/7358-97008.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

    Who knows what the actual politics within the studio's actually is. Taika might be tight with a few exec's, and loathed by others. As a director he has to navigate the entire Disney power dynamic's as a solo player. There will be layers to this we're not privy to. A mate plays touch rugby with him back in NZ.. I would ask if I thought it was a quick conversation that wouldn't annoy the hell out of him

    This is the category of he may of thought this, but no way he actually said it. Unless, he's happy to burn down some mighty bridges. He's a clumsy director (sometimes), but he isn't a fool.

    Ancient sci-fi, or past civilisations long since gone, and reduced to oral histories past along? There is something of an order to sci-fi that we recognise as "genuine" when we see it, or read it. The plausibility of something fantastical quite quickly feels 'right' more often than not. We don't all the have the bewilderment of a pigmy tribe living on the banks of the Amazon. Things in sci-fi resonate with us, again and again. Why is that?
  19. Microchip
    For my money, Asimov, and Frank Herbert are more aligned to what we understand as science Fiction. Mary came at it with a strong horror element firstly. The sci-fi component was almost just the setting in which the story unfolded. But the sci-fi setting was entirely integral to her story, and it's success with audiences.

    Smart friends. A friend sent the link's on the lectures from Hillside College as great way to consume 30 hours of my life in fulfilling self improvement. I got through the first hour, then bailed on it

    She was hanging out with Lord Byron at the time, and their circle of aristocrat friends were holidaying in Europe, challenging each other to come up with unique and innovative stories. She was in the right place, with the right people around her, and the masterpiece was born.

    I think they even reserve that for exceptional books. It must be owners saying "no slab thank you". Comiclink take raw books all the time, to be slabbed, and listed.
