About This Blog

I’ve always loved movies and I’m very par­tial to sci­ence fic­tion. I don’t know if it was The Lathe of Heaven or Star Wars that stirred up the same feel­ings that inspired the Syfy chan­nel, awards such as the Hugo or movies that I saw like the one I saw yes­ter­day: Avatar.

I’d been mulling over the idea of a blog for sev­eral months now to do what RealVs­Reel does: bring sci­en­tific and fac­tual review and, when appro­pri­ate, grant artis­tic license to sci­ence fic­tion movies. After see­ing Avatar yes­ter­day, made by one of the best film­mak­ers around, I couldn’t help but feel inspired to fire up this blog and start writ­ing; I was so impressed that I couldn’t help but think that even myself, some­one who loves the sci­ence of sci­ence fic­tion and the truth about sto­ries based on true events, I can’t help but give it the high­est hon­ors even if there is no sci­ence to the “float­ing moun­tains” in the movie…though I must say that it seems pos­si­ble that if the “unob­tainium” men­tioned in the movie is some sort of anti-gravity material/element then it cer­tainly would explain many things…

While this blog is devoted to the sci­ence of sci­ence fic­tion, it also devoted to sto­ries based on real events and peo­ple: fact ver­sus fic­tion if you will. For exam­ple, if you watched the Moth­man Prophe­cies, it’s good to know that the movie didn’t get many facts right since it was based on a true story. Though that movie may still be in the sci­ence fic­tion vein as it is about the para­nor­mal, if you saw the movie Erin Brock­ovich, I’m sure you’d kinda like to know what she really looked like con­sid­er­ing how impor­tant the real Erin’s looks were to the story. There is absolutely a place for that here on this blog.

About Me

I’ve got sev­eral blogs else­where and I do inter­net mar­ket­ing con­sult­ing; I also am a writer and I have always wanted to make movies…I don’t care to hide that fact. I made a short doc­u­men­tary but I haven’t made any­thing that is fea­ture length. I’ve writ­ten my own stuff includ­ing some fan­fic, but I bring this blog to you because of my love for movies and for my love of the truth as well. I hap­pen to think that the truth is far more inter­est­ing than fic­tion unless that fic­tion does good in the world by at least being truth­ful in its telling.
