[SciFiNoir Lit] OT: And Now, A Little Love Injection from GOD!

How do you like the 60's? What you are seeing now was about 10 times worse—war, uncertainty and a racist outrage every day that left you feeling angry and helpless (and that you often took out on other Negroes, not Tha Man) Why do you think folks was rebelling. S*** was going DOWN! I know I

In fact, if these aliens have anything on the ball, they already know we're here. 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

I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach. (And this guy is supposed to be a genius! All he can imagine about

[SciFiNoir Lit] What movie or DVD based on a BOOK have you watched recently?

I think the last one was that new version of The Andromeda Strain that starred Benjamin Bratt-- That guy did a real soulful turn in Pinero by the way (he was a playright--wrote short eyes) Check that out if you got the chance. Nice little movie
