my fave b scifi movies would definitely have to be whole live action 
giant robot series. robot jox, robot wars, and crash  burn. all of 
which i own on vhs. robot jox had the best graphics. even if you can 
tell that they were using models there's something about acutally 
building something to scale. man i miss the old days when they actually 
had to build stuff. 
i also like a really obscure movie call space marines. it's been a 
while since i saw it. i doubt it'll ever end up on scifi (it just 
doesn't have the crappy factor that their looking for) i wish i could 
find it. it actually had a half way decent plot. something about trying 
to stop a dictator from getting a superweapon. oddly enough the movie 
was made in 1989 i think so go figure.

My favorite Bad movie is The Reanimator which is so sick and wrong
it is funny and Good (and, a must for a good B movie - it has an
excellent nude scene)!  I wanted to love Basket Case about a
dim-witted man who carries his detached but formerly conjoined (and
deformed)brother around  in a covered basket but, while it it long on
heads (the deformed brother is mostly head), it is short on heart.

Wasn't Decoys a (gasp) Sci-FI Original?

If so, I think I remember being  a little impressed by the opening  
cinematography, then being horribly put off by the opening bit of  
dialogue.

Do any of the Robocops count as B movies now? I think it's clear  
that  Robocop  2 deserves to  be on all of our lists.

By the way B-Movie Rutger Hauer made a movie I like where he is a

near the prisoner with the matching rink.  They discover eachother and 
escape, ultimately defeating their foes and falling in love.  Anyone

seeking to earn a reputation with the reading public and in the
publishing industry as a house that produces quality books that are
fresh, relevant, entertaining, educational and uplifting.

Parker Publishing's Isis imprint explores the genres of Speculative

other paranormal themes. We are seeking titles that will challenge
convention and take the reader on an esoteric journey of imagination.
80,000 - 100,000 word count.

Parker Publishing is a royalty offering publisher, not a vanity

accept unsolicited manuscripts. We ask that you submit a query letter
that includes word count, pertinent facts about yourself as a writer,
what imprint you think your project is appropriate for (Isis for

experience (if any). Also include a synopsis of your story that gives
a clear idea of both your plot and characters; and the first three
chapters only, no complete manuscripts unless specifically requested.

Query material will not be returned, but recycled. Should your
complete manuscript be requested, include a stamped, self-addressed
envelope (of sufficient size) for possible return of manuscript. No
material will be returned without SASE. Please specify whether you
would like your manuscript returned or recycled should we decide not
to publish it.
We strongly prefer manuscripts to be written from the third-person
point-of-view. All material must be typed and double-spaced. No disk
submissions. Name, address, phone number and e-mail of the author
should be on the first page of the manuscript, and a header for
subsequent pages should contain the page number, author's name and
title. Retain a copy of all materials sent in case the original gets
lost in the mail.

Our review process typically takes 3 months for initial query and 6
months for requested manuscripts depending on volume. Please do not

mail as soon as your work has been reviewed.

[scifinoir2] My B-Movie Dream Re: Fav B Movie - Worse B Movie

2007-04-24 Thread Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)
All this talk of bad movies and B-Movies caused me to have a dream in 
which there was a serial killer who was running around killing the 
writers, producers, directors and stars of bad b movies and the 
industry.  As a result the industry started to dry up because they 
couldn't catch him and everyone was afraid that he might think their 
movie was bad. 

Sounds like a treatment for a B-Movie

As for the animated Starship Troopers series getting it right.   Um. Yes and 
no.   The suits and training they got almost right (of course they'll get the 
suits right).   The storyline started true-to-form but deviated from the book 
around the series middle.   And the main character they f'ed up on being that 
Jonny himself was a blond, blue eyed caucasion (not philipeno-which the 
roughnecks series got right on).   But carmin was nearly spot on perfect.

Eitherway dispite it's pluses they got enough wrong on the project that the

I don't think Decoys was a Sci Fi Original. Just a few years ago, the bulk of 
the movies aired on Sci Fi were films they'd obtained from other sources. 
Things like Re-Animator, Lake Placid, a bunch of Steven King miniseries, 
etc. I think Decoy was from that group. Almost without fail, the Originals 
have been very crappy in writing, and distinguished by supposedly more 
modern, but miserable, CGI.

-- Original message -- 
From: Oyabun of Beats [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Wasn't Decoys a (gasp) Sci-FI Original?

If so, I think I remember being a little impressed by the opening 
cinematography, then being horribly put off by the opening bit of 
dialogue.

Do any of the Robocops count as B movies now? I think it's clear 
that Robocop 2 deserves to be on all of our lists.

Potentially habitable planet found

By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer


WASHINGTON - For the first time astronomers have discovered a planet
outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earth-like
temperatures, a find researchers described Tuesday as a big step in the
search for life in the universe.

The planet is just the right size, might have water in liquid form, and in
galactic terms is relatively nearby at 120 trillion miles away. But the
star it closely orbits, known as a red dwarf, is much smaller, dimmer
and cooler than our sun.

There's still a lot that is unknown about the new planet, which could be
deemed inhospitable to life once more is known about it. And it's worth
noting that scientists' requirements for habitability count Mars in that
category: a size relatively similar to Earth's with temperatures that
would permit liquid water. However, this is the first outside our solar
system that meets those standards.

It's a significant step on the way to finding possible life in the
universe, said University of Geneva astronomer Michel Mayor, one of 11
European scientists on the team that found the planet. It's a nice
discovery. We still have a lot of questions.

The results of the discovery have not been published but have been
submitted to the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Alan Boss, who works at the Carnegie Institution of Washington where a
U.S. team of astronomers competed in the hunt for an Earth-like planet,
called it a major milestone in this business.

The planet was discovered by the European Southern Observatory's telescope
in La Silla, Chile, which has a special instrument that splits light to
find wobbles in different wave lengths. Those wobbles can reveal the
existence of other worlds.

What they revealed is a planet circling the red dwarf star, Gliese 581.
Red dwarfs are low-energy, tiny stars that give off dim red light and last
longer than stars like our sun. Until a few years ago, astronomers didn't
consider these stars as possible hosts of planets that might sustain life.

The discovery of the new planet, named 581 c, is sure to fuel studies of
planets circling similar dim stars. About 80 percent of the stars near
Earth are red dwarfs.

The new planet is about five times heavier than Earth. Its discoverers
aren't certain if it is rocky like Earth or if its a frozen ice ball with
liquid water on the surface. If it is rocky like Earth, which is what the
prevailing theory proposes, it has a diameter about 1 1/2 times bigger
than our planet. If it is an iceball, as Mayor suggests, it would be even
bigger.

Based on theory, 581 c should have an atmosphere, but what's in that
atmosphere is still a mystery and if it's too thick that could make the
planet's surface temperature too hot, Mayor said.

However, the research team believes the average temperature to be
somewhere between 32 and 104 degrees and that set off celebrations among
astronomers.

Until now, all 220 planets astronomers have found outside our solar system
have had the Goldilocks problem. They've been too hot, too cold or just
plain too big and gaseous, like uninhabitable Jupiter.

The new planet seems just right - or at least that's what scientists think.

This could be very important, said NASA astrobiology expert Chris McKay,
who was not part of the discovery team. It doesn't mean there is life,
but it means it's an Earth-like planet in terms of potential habitability.

Eventually astronomers will rack up discoveries of dozens, maybe even
hundreds of planets considered habitable, the astronomers said. But this
one - simply called c by its discoverers when they talk among themselves
- will go down in cosmic history as No. 1.

Besides having the right temperature, the new planet is probably full of
liquid water, hypothesizes Stephane Udry, the discovery team's lead author
and another Geneva astronomer. But that is based on theory about how
planets form, not on any evidence, he said.

Liquid water is critical to life as we know it, co-author Xavier
Delfosse of Grenoble University in France, said in a statement. Because
of its temperature and relative proximity, this planet will most probably
be a very important target of the future space missions dedicated to the
search for extraterrestrial life. On the treasure map of the Universe, one
would be tempted to mark this planet with an X.

Other astronomers cautioned it's too early to tell whether there is water.

You need more work to say it's got water or it doesn't have water, said
retired NASA astronomer Steve Maran, press officer for the American
Astronomical Society. You wouldn't send a crew there assuming that when
you get there, they'll have enough water to get back.

The new planet's star system is a mere 20.5 light years away, making
Gliese 581 one of the 100 closest stars to Earth. It's so dim, you can't
see it without a telescope, but it's somewhere in the constellation 

[scifinoir2] Researchers Break Internet Speed Records

This is awesome. Download The Matrix in a couple of minutes? Imagine the 
possibilities for remote teleconferences, long-distance surveys and surgeries.  
Why, those people who don't want to go to the movies could actually watch a new 
movie release on home, not even having to wait for DVD rentals or pay-per-view. 
  Of course, there's the whole Net Neutrality thing:  outside of the 
trickle-down time it'd take for Internet2 to become available for the public, 
there's the whole issue of the big telecom companies wanting to control our 
access to the higher-tier speed pathways. More's the pity...  :(



Researchers Break Internet Speed Records

By ANICK JESDANUN, AP Internet Writer
NEW YORK - A group of researchers led by the University of Tokyo has broken 
Internet speed records _ twice in two days. Operators of the high-speed 
Internet2 network announced Tuesday that the researchers on Dec. 30 sent data 
at 7.67 gigabits per second, using standard communications protocols.
The next day, using modified protocols, the team broke the record again by 
sending data over the same 20,000-mile path at 9.08 Gbps.
That likely represents the current network's final record because rules require 
a 10 percent improvement for recognition, a percentage that would bring the 
next record right at the Internet2's current theoretical limit of 10 Gbps.
However, the Internet2 consortium is planning to build a new network with a 
capacity of 100 Gbps. With the 10-fold increase, a high-quality version of the 
movie The Matrix could be sent in a few seconds rather than half a minute 
over the current Internet2 and two days over a typical home broadband line.
Researchers used the newer Internet addressing system, called IPv6, to break 
the records in December. Data started in Tokyo and went to Chicago, Amsterdam 
and Seattle before returning to Tokyo. The previous high of 6.96 Gbps was set 
in November 2005.
Speed records under the older addressing system, IPv4, are in a separate 
category and stand at 8.8 Gbps, set in February 2006.
The Internet2 is run by a consortium of more than 200 U.S. university. It is 
currently working to merge with another ultrahigh-speed, next-generation 
network, National LambdaRail.
The announcement of the new record was made at the Internet2 consortium's 
spring meeting, which ends Wednesday in Arlington, Va.

 of its temperature and relative proximity, this planet will most probably
 be a very important target of the future space missions dedicated to the
 search for extraterrestrial life. On the treasure map of the Universe, one
 would be tempted to mark this planet with an X.

 Other astronomers cautioned it's too early to tell whether there is water.

 You need more work to say it's got water or it doesn't have water, said
 retired NASA astronomer Steve Maran, press officer for the American
 Astronomical Society. You wouldn't send a crew there assuming that when
 you get there, they'll have enough water to get back.

Anyone like Automatic, with Olivier Gruner, Daphne Ashbrook, John Glover

Plot: Robgen industries newest security system is The J Series 
Automatic, an android model designed and programmed to protect humans 
from violent attacks. But one night, an Automatic named J269 discovers a 
Robgen executive trying to rape a female employee named Nora Rochester. 
While trying to stop the crime, he inadvertently kills the executive. At 
this point, J269 then calls Goddard Marx (his creator and a Robgen 
chairman) to inform him of the incident. Marx tells the android to stay 
there with Rochester until help arrives, but Marx is intent on sweeping 
the fiasco under the rug by sending mercenaries to eliminate both J269

RE: [scifinoir2] Things Computers Can Do in Movies

2007-04-24 Thread Martin
Reece, you've reminded me of the one movie I did want remade, for one reason 
only. During the scene in which Colossus impregnates Julie Christie, 
thebackground music is changed to...
   
  Computer Love.
   
  Okay, I'll leave now...

YIKES!!!

I always got a chuckle out of these mythical computer abilities listed
below!

1. Word processors never display a cursor.

2. You never have to use the space-bar when typing long sentences.

3. Movie characters never make typing mistakes.

4. All monitors display inch-high letters.

5. High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA or some such
governmental institution, will have easy to understand graphical
interfaces.

6. Those that don't have graphical interfaces will have incredibly
powerful text-based command shells that can correctly understand and
execute commands typed in plain English.

7. Note: Command line interfaces will give you access to any information
you want by simply typing, ACCESS THE SECRET FILES on any near-by
keyboard.

8. You can also infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply
typing UPLOAD VIRUS. (See Fortress.)

9. All computers are connected. You can access the information on the
villain's desktop computer even if it's turned off.

10. Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or the screen
changes. Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it
doesn't go faster than you can read. (Really advanced computers will also
emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer.)

11. All computer panels operate on thousands of volts and have explosive
devices underneath their surface. Malfunctions are indicated by a bright
flash of light, a puff of smoke, a shower of sparks and an explosion that
causes you to jump backwards.

12. People typing on a computer can safely turn it off without saving the
data.

13. A hacker is always able to break into the most sensitive computer in
the world by guessing the secret password in two tries.

14. You may bypass PERMISSION DENIED message by using the OVERRIDE
function. (See Demolition Man.)

15. Computers only take 2 seconds to boot up instead of the average
minutes for desktop PCs and 30 minutes or more for larger systems that can
run 24 hours, 365 days a year without a reset.

16. Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be
accomplished in under three seconds. Movie modems usually appear to
transmit data at the speed of two gigabytes per second.

17. When the power plant/missile site/main computer overheats, all control
panels will explode shortly before the entire building will.

18. If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file, it
also disappears from the screen (See Clear and Present Danger).

19. If a disk contains encrypted files, you are automatically asked for a
password when you insert it.

20. Computers can interface with any other computer regardless of the
manufacturer or galaxy where it originated. (See Independence Day.)

21. Computer disks will work on any computer has a floppy drive and all
software is usable on any platforms.

22. The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it will have (See
Aliens.)

23. Note: You must be highly trained to operate high-tech computers
because the buttons have no labels except for the SELF-DESTRUCT button.

24. Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying
three-dimensional active animation, photo-realistic graphics capabilities.

25. Laptops always have amazing real-time video phone capabilities and
performance similar to a CRAY Supercomputer.

26. Whenever a character looks at a monitor, the image is so bright that
it projects itself onto their face. (See Alien or 2001?)

27. Searches on the internet will always return what you are looking for
no matter how vague your keywords are. (See Mission Impossible, Tom
Cruise searches with keywords like file and computer and 3 results are
returned.)

There is no reason Good can't triumph over Evil, if only angels will 

[scifinoir2] Map of SciFinoir Member Locations

2007-04-24 Thread Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)
Hi SciFiNoir Family. Last year I signed us up for a service that 
provides a map of where scifinoir members live. A few members asked me 
about it, so I decided to post this message about it. Most of you 
probably live really close to other memers and do not even know it. This 
map will hopefully correct that.  So, far 30 members have added their 
info.  Please click through to add your point
on the map. Takes less than a minute.
