Best Lesbian Time Travel Film Ever!!!

Seriously though, THE STICKY FINGERS OF TIME is a wonderful low budget indie treat, I'm not sure why it didn't make more of a splash when it came out back in 1997.  Although a sci-fi film, it uses no CGI and very few special effects.  It's hip, smart, funny, gorgeous to look at, and completely engrossing! The script is intelligent, if a bit too existential at times, and the characters are engaging.  I highly recommend it.

Oh, the writer Soylent Green, did he say: The future, I just try to prevent it ?

Was that Ray Bradbury ?

What doe he mean by that ?

Thanks for bumping this thread, Artiste.  I didn't remember it was here.  ::)

I've been on a Joss Whedon binge for about a year, but lately I've branched out to Supernatural, and I just put the first disks of the new Doctor Who and Torchwood in my Netflix queue.  To be honest, I got the 'recommendations' by seeing what other fandoms people who write Buffy and Angel fan fiction are also involved with.

I'm looking forward to the new Star Trek movie too.  I was a big TNG fan when it was first on but have drifted away from that.

I'll have to make a note of the reading suggestions; I haven't read much sci-fi at all, sadly.

I am really excited about Star Trek XI! There is a forum on the Star Trek Movie site that deals exclusively with fan questions and observations.

"Soylent Green" is an interesting film, and I thought well done, exploring the logical problems with extreme overpopulation. It was also Edgar G Robinson's last film, and the screenplay was adapted from a novel by Harry Harrison.

Did you know they launched a Star Trek miniseries online?  I had no clue.
