SFSNNJ Newsletter . _____ April 2011 Newsletter Uncivil Services: Government & Bureaucracy in SF : Government: Did you fill out your 22-4-z form? If not, don't worry; we won't report you to the department of records. This month we explore the byzantine labyrinth of Government in SF, fantasy and Horror. From the Laundry to the Droods, from Brazil to 1984, and from Singapore 3 to the sands of Arrakis, the wheels of governance turn on and on, and the men and women who serve the system are often the only things making the system work.

He has been a featured speaker and workshopper at San Diego Comic-Con, Gencon, New York Comic-Con, and the Brooklyn Book Festival. He is the co-creator of the faux folk musical Sneezin’ Jeff & Blue Raccoon: The Loose Gravel Tour (winner of the Best Storytelling Award at the First Annual New York International Fringe Festival). In his scant spare time, his is a writer, a sometimes actor, sometimes musician, occasional RPGer, and the worlds most casual and controller smashing video gamer. He currently works in the exciting world of publishing and yes, it is as glamorous as it sounds.” Mr. Strout is the author of Dead Matter, Deader Still, Dead To Me , and the latest Dead Waters. They make up the Simon Canderous urban fantasy series Face the Fiction: Where imagination lives! Only at the SFSNNJ 2 March Meeting Recaps That’s Science Fiction! – Young Sherlock Holmes - Tuesday March 1, 2011 That's Science Fiction launched our International gods month with great fun. Todd started off the evening by providing a background of the film - it sat on shelves for some time while the powers that be tried to decide how to market the film, there were some title changes and the original people involved with the film were gone by the time the movie was released. We are glad the movie finally made it to theaters/DVD! All who attended enjoyed the film. Young Sherlock Holmes is a 1985 mystery/adventure film directed by Barry Levinson, produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Chris Columbus, based "respectfully" on characters by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. All went on to great things in the industry and watching this movie it's easy to see why. The film was well written, engaging, had beautiful scenery/settings and was just plain fun. The movie sets up the life-long relationship of Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) and Watson (Alan Cox) as they meet as young boys in boarding school and wind up solving a particularly vicious mystery involving murders and disappearances. Although Doyle introduces the two as adults, it is pointed out in the film that this was a "could have been" scenario. It was quite interesting to envision that the accoutrements Holmes had as an adult came about the way they did in the movie. The deerstalker cap, the pipe, his solitary existence...all explained in such a believable way that you can't help but think it did happen just this way. As stated, Holmes meets Watson at boarding school. They form a fast friendship. Holmes is an outstanding student with a reputation for being brilliant, which peeves fellow classmate Dudley (a rather nasty prig) who constantly tries to get Holmes in trouble. Holmes is friendly with Waxflatter, the resident inventor/retired professor...eccentric is a nice way to describe him...who spends his retirement inventing gadgets. He is a mentor to Holmes. Living with Waxflatter is his niece Elizabeth..the love of Holmes life. Holmes and Watson go about being students until Holmes figures something out...young girls have gone missing. Several wealthy men of the London ton die by what the Yard claims is suicide or accident. The Yard doesn't believe them to be connected. Holmes, however, sees the patterns and implores a detective at Scotland Yard to investigate. The detective wants no part of it and thinks Holmes is a smarmy, arrogant little annoyance. Then Waxflatter is murdered. When no one listens, it is up to Holmes, Watson and Elizabeth to solve the murder. The investigation leads them to an Egyptian cult so brutal and forbidden they are feared in their native Egypt. They worship Anubis...god of the dead. They also have no problem with human sacrifice. What follows is twists and turns, some laughs, some tears, good action and lots of adventure. Excellent way to begin the theme of international gods. We all enjoyed the "pastry" scene which led to Watson talking to a french pastry..."I have nothing to say to you Mr. French pastry." Maggie liked the twist with Moriarty. Good film, good fun. Join us next month for Battle Royale...this government has a unique way of dealing with errant teens! (AM) Medium Screen Classics – Incoming! – Saturday March 5, 2011 Bad films and good friends - no better way to spend a Saturday! "Watch out for the gadgets on their chests!" "How do I tell them my son's a Hawkman?" Legends of the Superheroes - the Star Wars Holiday Special for DC comic’s fans! (Gene McGrath) And, "Help me! Heeelp Me!" a la "The Fly" was heard faintly in the room toward the end of Legends of the Superheroes... .as most present were wondering, "when will this torture end?" ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqYDRxdgnC0 (Gene McGrath) 3 Medium Screen classics completed its winter run with Incoming! A Day of Bombs....and were they ever! As Jo wept, "My god, they went from bad to terrible," Gene tried calling for help on his laptop. No one came to help...all we had was the sad little voice crying, "Help me! Heeelp me!" immortalized in the film The Fly. Did we have fun...understatement! First up was Menace From Outer Space, a 1956 SF adventure in space. This film was actually a two-part episode of the sci-fi TV series Rocky Jones, Space Ranger , released as a feature. The characters had names like Rocky and Winky...yes, Winky (who was a grown man BTW). Everyone wore skintight polyblend 'spacesuits'...and capes. Apparently capes are quite the thing in the future. Jo provided this number (thanks Jo) that had Rocky Jones Space Ranger (Yes, you know Jo and I shouted, "Like Buzz Lightyear!") and his sidekick Winky traveling to a distant planet to find out why they sent a really crummy effects rocket to earth. They bring Vena Ray, young Bobby, and Professor Newton - get it, Newton. Hey! That's as good as it gets! They arrive to find the inhabitants - wearing capes too...and odd Egyptian looking headgear - are friendly but being misled by an evil scientist from Earth. He wants to destroy Earth and has fooled the friendly cape-wearing dwellers into believing they must destroy Earth to remain safe. It's up to Rocky and friends to save the day. Capes, names like Winky, really bad "special effects" described by Barry as, "This was the first movie to use CGI. You know clay, graph-paper....." Clay would have been an improvement. As Debbie M pointed out, "It was very 50's TV." Then our pain truly began...... The next movies were thoughtfully provided by Barry - Wild, Wild Planet (1965) and Legends of the Superheroes (1978). Where to begin.... Wild, Wild Planet. Put it this way, we had less than 10 minutes left in the movie and Barry says, "I have no idea what's going on. Is something going on?" Gene, trying to provide a morale boost, provided hilarious commentary to help ease our pain. We had MUCH fun with this one. This one was soooooooo bad it made Menace From Outer Space look high-tech.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
