Take 7: From Here to the Future

One of the reason I like Sci Fi is because of my mom. She loved it. I came to love them too. When I came out of the hospital, I remember that I had my Netflix account. I decided that I was going to watch all the Sci Fi I wanted. So I watched Gattaca, Dune, Bladerunner, The Matrix and many more.

Dune - the best film I've seen in 2021. I liked the first film with Kyle Mac Lachlan, Sean Young and Sting. I was glad that it was made. But this second one is better. I can't wait for the sequel.

Elysium - this film is about a boy who wants better things in the future but he wants a better future for all the people in this world.

Oblivion - in this film a man who is guarding the present is thinking about the past. In it he remembers a person who he should know. But his present partner says its best if they forget the past and remember what their future holds.

Gattaca - a man wants to make himself the best he can be so he can be an astronaut. But in this future, he will have to be what the future wants or he'll get caught.

The Old Guard - this is a film when the main part is played by a woman. This woman has been there through thousands of years and she'll be there through thousands more.

Jumper - a boy becomes a man (David Rice) and he can jump from his life into another life and back again. But he is in love with a girl and he wants to protect her. But there are bad men against David and he tries to flee them.

Divergent - in this film a young girl (Tris) becomes something she's not entirely sure of. Because of this, she's capable of being the most important thing.

Insurgent - this is the sequel to Divergent. Tris is becoming who she wants to be.

Allegiant - the final movie in the Divergent series.

Bladerunner 2049 - this is a film where a Bladerunner (K) comes across a secret. It could cause chaos. Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford are amazing.

Faetaera: A Triumvirate

A Triumvirate Brairton’s minions slipped through a barely noticeable fissure. The tear would close shortly. Despite the increase in their regularity the breaches rarely stayed open very long. To the three insidious spies, the stink of the new world was almost unbearable. But in time the triumvirate would each become so used to it they would scarcely notice it at all. That it poisoned them they did not know. Brairton was not in the habit of informing his operatives of fatal consequences. Their programming precluded any thought beyond the mission they must complete. In this Brairton had been exact and had performed the necessary rituals himself. Each had their mission branded into their being. They would travel together for some time but then slip off to their secret destinations one by one, never to see each other again. The threesome latched on to their individual targets and began their particular brand of individual mis...

#Review: RED DESERT by Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli 4 Star reading I must confess a certain attraction to the inhospitable red planet ever since I saw Total Recall . The Arnie version of course. There simply is no other. As many of you know, I’ve even squeezed a mention of Mars into my very own little eco SciFi number. So I was delighted to come across this translation of Deserto Rosso. It is written in diary format from the perspective of Anna Persson, an astronaut landed on Mars together with several colleagues. Together they are hoping to set up a primary colony. The opening is dramatic as use of the present tense and the narrator’s situation draws the reader in. The story line switches between events on Mars and flashbacks, in the past tense, in which we learn a great deal of backstory. I found these details and the relationships Anna has with other characters very engaging. I wanted to read on and in fact finished the book in only 4 sittings. Anna's compl...

She is currently re-working her first novel with advice from an editor and has a second novel on the back-burner. How do I recharge my writing batteries? I’m not sure I’m the right person to answer this as my batteries are still somewhat depleted after illness and debilitating treatment, but my writing activity, although still less than ideal has bounced back to some extent. It was only after being ill that I understood just how much energy writing requires. Exhaustion does not engender creativity. After a frustrating dry-spell when I wanted to writ...
