God, how could COLLEGE kids be so STUPID | |||||||

Repo Man is a kind of sci-fi-ish movie.
I second Primer. Also, 12 Monkeys isn’t bad.
I don’t like sci-fi books much, aside from Philip K. male reproductive organ. If you’re ever in a used book store and you find a volume of the Dangerous Visions anthologies, pick that up.
In one of them there’s a story about a guy who goes to a dimension (or maybe another planet) where some women are pretty much lobotomized and bred for milking. The traveler tries to **** one, but her woman's genitals is cavernous.
I think there was also one where Earth sent a rocket filled with semen in to space.
I’m not even joking.
Also, while it’s not really sci-fi stay away from bizarro fiction. It sounds appealing, but it’s always a lot of kind of kind of interesting elements that amount to nothing.

damn you to helllllll D:
Most of what I’d suggest has already been said, but trying looking up a short story named I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream. Fairly interesting, about a deranged supercomputer that wipes out all humanity and uses its incredible power to torture the last 5 humans alive for over 100 years.
And if nobody’s suggested it, get Dune. Dune is good. Real good. The book, not the movie. Something_Witty edited this message on 03/05/2009 12:47AM |

OH, and it isn’t so much sci-fi, but if you want post-apocalyptic and don’t mind reading 1000+ pages, get The Stand by Stephen King. You WON’T regret it. |

Good choice.
To be honest, all of your suggestions were top notch. I have nothing more useful to contribute except one: Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. A real clbumic, and it explores xenophobia in an incredibly engaging manner. Log in to see images! |

How do I get into that clbum also if you drive a pick-up truck full of dynamite into that clbumroom and kill all of those retards I will build a statue in your honor.
Lets see…I’m a junkie for cyberpunk, so…
Books (I don’t read that much these days, though): Player Piano Anything by Phillip K. male reproductive organ Boogiepop series
Video Games: F.E.A.R. series Bioshock/System Shock series Deus Ex series Killer7 (not really cyberpunk, but similar themes) Star Ocean series (also not cyberpunk, but relevant to this thread’s interests) Some Shin Megami Tensei games (Imagine is one}
Movies/etc.: Ghost in the Shell universe Serial Experiments Lain series Ergo Proxy series Matrix universe A Scanner Darkly (not as good as it looks, but decent) Broken Saints series(can be watched online here, but the DVD series is worth buying) Aeon Flux series (not I REPEAT NOT the movie adaptation) Forbidden Science (Half decent skinemax series. Kinda what you’d expect, but it does have some great cyberpunk themes to it. Also Noelle Dubois is ****ing hot and her mammary glands are p. AWESOMELog in to see images!)
You probably know of most of those already, but I just threw a few out there. Bill_Murray_Fan_7383 edited this message on 03/05/2009 3:35AM

this
also: They Live is a good one. underrated imo just because the lead character is a former wwf guy (rowdy roddy piper) it is actually regarded as a clbumic dystopian flick by people who love the genre. I had a friend whose professor taught a good chunk of his clbum on dystopian fiction on that movie.

the plot line is that the frog king in the wastelands has kidnapped the few remaining fertile women left on earth, and it is up to one of the few remaining fertile men (sam hell aka: rowdy roddy piper) to go and rescue them and impregnate them.
hilarious movie.

I would suggest mentioning Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut and the Movie of the same name, another good scifi reference would be Harrison Bergeron, also by Vonnegut. If you want to impress your teacher talk about the fear of technology that is apparent in many scifi films and how it related to masculine feelings of inadequacy in the face of more efficient workers Log in to see images!

Zelazny? Now I KNOW you’re a connoisseur. Well done.
The Ferv Posted:
Disagreed. The sequels, especially Xenocide, told a story that needed to be told to fully understand the implications of the ending of Ender’s Game, and the Ender’s Shadow series was surprisingly good as well. I may be a little biased, though…

I suck male reproductive organs for not mentioning this myself, although in fairness I usually think of it as absurdist literature, a la Chuck Palahniuk, instead of sci-fi. Log in to see images! |
