Question of the Week

? of the Week: What are the new gateway scifi/fantasy films?

/

It’s about time we drag this segment up from the depths!  Every Friday, we will have a new ? of the Week feature.  And we want you to get involved! This week’s question as a fun one.  There are plenty of films we older folks remember from our youth.  They were the films that got us into SF/F, or helped foster a burgeoning interest.  But what are the new gateway flicks?  Which films would you give to your children to get them into SF/F?  Which would you suggest for those who want to get into the genre via film, but aren’t sure where to go? The comments are open.  Have at it!

RIP: Sara Douglass

Locus Magazine has broken the news that Sara Warneke (better know to SF/F readers as Sara Douglass) passed away from ovarian cancer earlier today.  She was 54. Readers will remember her for her fantasy novels, such as Enchanter, etc. (of which Jen has read a few).  You can find out more about her various works on her website. She will certainly be missed.  Our condolences to her family and friends.  We hope you find your way to relief through the long process of mourning.
