Well, since I’ve still got power (so far) and a free day off (so far), I thought I’d gather up all of these wicked cool sci-fi links I’ve been collecting for the past few weeks.
From Sarcasmo comes a link to Spaceship Radio. It’s a podcast of old-style sci-fi radio plays by Bradbury, Heinlein, etc., and original scripts. In fact, if you dream of being the next Rod Serling, you can submit it to them or join in writing one on their Spaceshipradio Script Factory.
This is kinda pointless but neat: a few thousand science fiction covers (via SF Signal)
A while back I saw, ***Dave :: The Canon of SF Films, where he mentioned the author of the Rough Guide to Sci-Fi Movies had listed the 50 Most Significant Sci-Fi Films (obviously a fire starter at parties). Well, here’s the list and the ones I’ve seen in bold and my favorites in italics. Might as well make a meme out of it, eh?
