Keef Endersons 2013 list / SF movie adaptations

[mary sullivan]

Thanks Arin, for letting me know about the Whole Man being the other name
for  The Telepathist, I do remember it was first mentioned in this group in
a discussion and I always wanted to read it.  I did download it free through
my reader, (I pay a yearly membership, and can download as many books as I
want, the voices are robotic, but it works.  I read it in a few hours, and
really enjoyed it.  the Chrysalids  is probably my favorite story on the
subject, 

I want to wish you and everyone here all the best in this new year, (special
best wishes to Mike Coleman), we're staying in and being mellow, time to put
away all that holiday stuffy was tired of it a long time ago.    Thank
goodness, no more Christmas music.  
Thanks again, now I will look up the Tomorrow People, and maybe I can find
some episodes.  I'll give it a try, a kid's show, should be fun.

Peace,

Mary -----Original Message-----

Mary,

Watchmen was a comic by Alan Moore. 

BTW, spelling for the Chrysalids by John Wyndham is as I show.

...and you might now be able to find The Telepathist (in the US, this is
known as The Whole Man) by John Brunner.  It looks to have been published in
ebook format by ereads in September.

http://ereads.com/ecms/book_title/The-Whole-Man

I can highly recommend the Brunner book :-)

Also, Mary, given the subject material, if you haven't yet seen a kids show
called _The Tomorrow People_ you really should.  There is a remake on air
right now (on the CW), but go back to the 70s original.  There was a
nineties remake as well, but I'd still recommend going back to the 70s
version.  Telepathy is front and center for that show.

Thanks,

Arin

Greetings,
Hey C. Like the pun on Keith's name, (you're bad, (grin). 
Who wrote Watchmen, I can't find it on my on-line service.  You are
absolutely right about a clockwork orange being so much better as a novel.
The terms he made up were at the beginning of the book on tape, so I played
them once, and was good to go for the rest of the read, if I forgot what
something meant I could take it in context.  I didn't like the scene with
the cats, though, but that's my personal thing. I believe I'd like The
Watchmen, (or whatever it's called), being interested in telepathy.  Really,
the Chrisolyds, (could have the spelling wrong, sorry) is a must read for
anyone into telepathy, and I do wish I could find the Telepathist as
previously suggested  to me.  The works  of Besta are cool, and the
character of Besta is 1 I love to hate from my favorite show Babylon 5.  Any
suggestions for good new science fiction shows, or movies, well?  Keith,
thanks for the link on YouTube, I'm enjoying the music, awesome guitar
work). it's a nasty rainy day, I guess I'll read a book for a bit.  

Mary I love The Matrix.  I can't keep up with all the great releases coming
out, I check out what I can, based on suggestions from the forums on
YouTube.  

Thanks,

Happy holidays,

Your friend,


Mary

I liked Bladerunner in its various reduxes for the past 30 years without
reading the novel i think its a great SF flick up there with Alien,
Terminator, Robocop etc. Watchmen is a MUST read and SEE movie, mindblowing
adaptation that left out 60% of the book yet pulled off an incredible movie.
A Clockwork Orange is my favorite all time movie, seen it 30 times.
Finally read the extended book some years ago, wow, loved it. Jazzy writing,
fast paced with all the Nadsat and psycholical chit chat with our dear
Delinquent Droog Alex, get to know him well hehe. Inspired by skinheads in
the early 60s and inspired countless bands to adopt the Droog look (Chrome,
Turbonegro etc).

I have a Top 40 of 2013 i am presenting, though i have slashed it down to a
shorter Top 25 for Jerry's Aural Innovations blog, with commentary for each
release. ArcMet up first since i had my art in the latest CD by them (PLUG
PLUG!). But otherwise no particular order than double cheese w/ pepperoni to
"Go" or the usual Freemasonry orders etc. Stay tuned for Jan 1 when all our
selections are published. Keith had so much stuff i never heard of so he
will have to drive me more insane collecting wise then.
