What we’re Enjoying

Shua found another old book. The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury was a fascinating prediction of where the human race was headed. While not all of Bradbury’s predictions may have come true, the human nature that he spotlighted is still as ugly as ever. Jay revisited the classic Bill Murray, Harold Ramis movie Stripes. Not only did he have a great time on his rewatch, he learned some interesting things about the original vision for it too. 



 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay found some footage of the time when a gigantic creature attacked New York. Cloverfield was JJ Abrahms vision of a kaiju, filmed in a unique way. Scary and different are good ways to describe this 2008 flick. Read his article on RetroZap.com.  And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com.
