Re: [SciFiNoir Lit] Stephen Hawking---a space alien himself?
U.R.: Interesting thoughts and also sounds like it would make an excellent plot for a novel or short story. I don't know if you write or not, but you just laid out a heckuva plot. BTW -- Have you ever read Manhattan Transfer by John E. Stith. I purchased it a few days ago when a friend told me my novel reminded him of that book. I'll get crackin on it in a week or so. Any novels you would recommend? Tim - Visit me at: www.stellyhumantrial.com or http://www.myspace.com/pittwit Human Trial is still available from amazon.com and allthingsthatmatterpress.com.

To: SciFiNoir_Lit@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, May 8, 2010, 8:00 AM Maybe Hawking doesn't want us to contact any MORE aliens because h is in fact the advance party of an invasion of some other space aliens. Think about it. This guy knows an awful lot about space and time though he has never been there. He has to sit in a wheelchair (possibly because his alien muscles cannot adapt to our gravity?) He must use a computer to speak to us (possibly because his alien physionomy is incapable of reproducing human speech!) I know he is supposed to be suffering from a degenerative illness. Michael Jackson was supposed to have vitiligo (and what about Sammy Sosa?) Has anyone spoken to his doctor or seen his medical records? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Consider these things: Heavily settled areas of earth are lit up like a Xmas tree at night, to say nothing of Interstate highways. If they approach from the dark side of earth they're sure to see it. There have been radio transmissions for one hundred years. These too can be detected and heard from space. Atomic power and nuclear test explosions. They have set off blast light that has continued on out into the ether. Unless he is advocating we bury everything under ground, use only fiber optic cables for all communications and don't move around at night, they have spotted us. In which case it might be wise to try to contact them. If hostile, they would know we suspect they are there. If friendly, they might be convinced that we are not just apes with technology, but reasoning beings that accept the possibility of intelligent life in the Universe besides ours and the need to get along with it. Unless they just barge onto the planet, they are sure to scout it out with probes or scouts. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [SciFiNoir Lit] Re: What DVD's are you watching?
I'm into old movies, particularly film noir. I even buy some old drive-in B movies for their historical and hysterical value. Recently I purchased and watched Sudden Fear with Joan Crawford and Jack Palance (4 out of 5 stars), and The Last Mimzy. (5 out of 5 stars. Best children's movie I've seen since E.T.) I also bought a 50-pack of Drive-In classics that I'm still working my way through.
