#398209 — speculative-fiction...Arrival

"Based on speculative-fiction writer Ted Chiang‘s short story “Story of Your Life,” “Arrival” tells the story
 of a top-tier linguist named Louise Banks (Adams) who is brought in to help avert a global crisis by establishing 
communication with mysterious aliens in ships hovering just above the Earth’s surface."

"Based on speculative-fiction..." ? Is that a new word "speculative-fiction"??


Is that like between Science today and Science Fiction of yesterday?


You know like NASA saying there is life and water on Mars...but it's just "speculative-fiction".


I never heard the word "speculative-fiction", but...i don't read fiction anyway...not even 'short stories'.
fiction is too fiction for me...it's Dr. Seuss for adults.


I guess if Hollywood buys your 'short story', they only have to pay 2 cents for it.

Then they give it to some kid inside script writers and pay him ten million.


That's how Hollywodd works, ..they steal an idea and make a movie.


This is how Hollywood's insider talks "Give the chink two cents and a couple of chop sticks."



You know, without the 'idea'...there is no movie.


Any stupid kid can write a script...

It's been around a while. Science fiction is a subset, abut scoence that 
doesn't (yet) exist. Speculative takes in other kinds of"What if?" What 
if aliens landed? What if the Nazis won WWII? What of society decided 
everyone has to get married by age 30 or else? What if we had a woman 
president?

Mostly it's because cheap space opera has made "science fiction" less 
respectable.

Correct.

Incorrect.

However, sci.physics (where I read this) is about *physics*.  Please stop 
crossposting without Followup-To, and please do not crosspost from alt.ALL 
to the Big 8.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Cross-Posting But Were Afraid To Ask

Sometimes, you'll have an issue you think should be discussed in more
than one newsgroup. Rather than posting individual messages in each
group, you can post the same message in several groups at once, through
a process known as cross-posting.


Say you want to start a discussion about the political ramifications of
importing rare tropical fish from Brazil. People who read rec.aquaria
might have something to say. So might people who read
alt.politics.animals and talk.politics.misc.


Cross-posting is easy. It also should mean that people on other systems
who subscribe to several newsgroups will see your message only once,
rather than several times -- news-reading software can cancel out the
other copies once a person has read the message. When you get ready to
post a message , you'll be asked in which newsgroups. Type the names of
the various groups, separated by a comma, but no space, for example:


rec.aquaria,alt.politics.animals,talk.politics.misc


and hit enter. The message will be posted in the various groups (unless
one of the groups is moderated, in which case the message goes to the
moderator, who decides whether to make it public).


It's considered bad form to post to an excessive number of newsgroups,
or inappropriate newsgroups. Probably, you don't really have to post
something in 20 different places. And while you may think your
particular political issue is vitally important to the fate of the
world, chances are the readers of rec.arts.comics will not, or at least
not important enough to impose on them. You'll get a lot of nasty e-mail
messages demanding you restrict your messages to the "appropriate"
newsgroups.

Expand your mind, expand your universe, experience new things and ideas,
....with cross-posting.
The Starmaker


"A posting that is cross-posted (i.e. lists multiple newsgroups on the
Newsgroups: header line) to a few appropriate newsgroups is fine..."
--from Google Groups


"If you do post to multiple newsgroups, don't post to each group
separately. Instead, specify all the groups on a single copy of the
message. This reduces network overhead and lets people who subscribe to
more than one group see the message once instead of having to wade
through each copy. -- from Google Groups

"Contact" had nothing to do with aliens visiting Earth; it was Jodie's 
character visiting the aliens. Mostly as a setting for a dig at religion.

According to the WSJ article...i should download 5 movies Before I download Arrival!


The fuckin FBI would be after me if i did that!! I'd be sharing a cell with Hillary by then...



Let me see


The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

(that's worth the download..)

Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)

(i never seen it...is it worth the download, and a night with Hillary Clinton?)


Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

(stupid mountain..)


Contact (1997)

(i wanna bang Jodie Foster! that's worth download..)



Interstellar (2014)


(never heard of it...is it worth the download??)


Fuck the FBI, i'll download it all.


The Starmaker


i just hope it don't have chink subtitles...


makes my eyes cross eyed..


(then these girls ask me.."What's that stuff on the bottom???")


"Did somebody just got up to buy popcorn????"



Ever watch a movie with a girl who never seen a download before?


"WHAT KIND OF MOVIE IS THIS??!!"


or they have a confused look in their eye and ask "Didn't that movie just came out in the theater???"


then a few days pass and they ask..."Do you think you can get me this new song from the internet????"


I say, "You want the whole album, or do you just want the song?"


They say, "YOU CAN GET THE WHOLE ALBUM????"


and then they say..."Isn't that illegal?"



Then I quote them Henry Kissinger:

 "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer." -- Henry Kissinger

I'll show you how any stupid kid can write a proffesional screenplay without
any knowledge, schooling, books, screenplay software, and get pass the channels.

All you have to do is "cut and paste".

You go online and 'look at' all the
'unedited' screenplays:

http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Scarfacefinal.PDF

http://www.simplyscripts.com/year/
http://www.script-o-rama.com/snazzy/table.html

Once you collected a few...

you simply cut and paste
your own dialogue
to the scripts you find online.

Example:

http://www.aellea.com/script/salt.txt
https://www.kokos.cz/bradkoun/movies/savingprivateryan.txt
http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Scarfacefinal.PDF


Now, go out there and make "Contact 2".

There is probably going to be a lot of 'jusk science' about Mars coming up...

Movies, tv movies about Mars....

but it's done before...and people got tired of it, ...cause there is nothing there...but rocks.


It's just...speculative-fiction.

I thought National Geographic was a nonfiction channel....

i guess they are joining the speculative-fiction community, which would be

rec.arts.sf.written
sci.physics
sci.physics.relativity
alt.astronomy

ask them, they can tell you all about...Life on Mars.


Where do you think National Geographic gets their info from?



the speculative-fiction community!


ask them, they can tell you all about...Life on Mars, water..organic creatures...dead bodies on Mars.


If aliens land on earth it's because they got lost and don't know how to get back home.


"Which way to planet Usenet4?"


"I hope my flying saucer doesn't blow up.."


"What you guys got to eat here?"


If the aliens are Black people the cops will probably shoot them for resisting arrest...

"Put up your hands where I can see them!"

"What are hands????"



Only stupid people would fly our rockets, ...who would be stupid enough to fly in a flying saucers all the way here?

Do you people have any idea how mnay Mars books are out there?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_in_fiction

that's not counting all the mars movies..


people got tired of it, ...cause there is nothing there...but rocks.


you people certaintly have a lot on...imagination...especailly in the
'scientific community'.

Those people believe in Mars more than the science fiction people do!


If you switch the position of Pluto and Mars...Mars would now have an
underground ocean. Even our moon!


But since they are both too close...it's hard to lie about it.


Not specualate...lie.


I'm not going to watch any upcoming stupid movies about Mars, ...unless
they put some naked girls on it.


And please, no asian chicks...they look like cats to me.


Or should I say...pussy cats.

If the Church had the power today like they did in the old days..
scientist, musicians, and artist would be getting their money from the Church.

If the scientist ask the Church for money to go to Mars, they would say they are
going to search for God, not Water. Or a place to build a new church. Spread the Word
of Jesus to aliens on other planets. They would be listening for hymns in outer space.

That is why scientist don't bother to find a cure for the common cold..the
businesses are making too much money selling cough drops. They are not
going to give them money and kill their cash cow.

It is the pharmaceutical companies that decide what to cure and what not to cure.

But since the governments got the power now...they give money to the Albert Einstein's and
tell himm, "Go ahead, build your fuckin bomb, let's kill em' all!"
