And now for something mostly different...When I first saw the trailers for James Cameron's upcoming film Avatar, I thought, "That looks like "Call Me Joe."" It's nice to see others had the same thought. Cameron's film is much longer, and more involved, as one would expect. However, the central device and other key details appear to be the same as in Poul Anderson's novella "Call...

I think the real world (or le monde, as the image has it above) is starting to wake up to James Cameron's Avatar. Within the last two days I've been asked about the film by three non-cineaste and non-geek folk, the type who seldom go to the cinema at all and rarely take a punt on anything in some way off the wall or 'risky'. They seemed keen on this one though and from what I could make out they all...

The new trailer for James Cameron's Avatar has been out in theatres for a week or so now, but it has finally debuted online today in HD over at Yahoo!. This comes hot on the heels of recent accusations against James Cameron that he may have stolen some of the ideas for Avatar from a 1957 short story by Poul Anderson entitled Call Me Joe. Fortunately for Cameron, this new trailer is a huge improvement...

Not sold by the original teaser trailer for James Cameron's Avatar? The full length feature trailer, which has been playing on the big screen for the past week, has been getting a lot better response. This time around Fox was smart to concentrate more on the human/live-action hybrid portion of the story more before entering the world of the Na'vi and Pandora. The official high definition trailer is...

There was an enormous book sale here in Gainesville over the last few days and I thought I’d let you all know what I got (a lot of stuff, actually). Next time, in April, I don’t think I will be going quite as all out, mostly because I don’t have as much need for a lot of books anymore. I intentionally went this year trying to find things to use for my research, and now I’m only...

The line between deliberate rip-off and unintentional reflection is thin and blurry. There's now an accusation that James Cameron's upcoming Avatar might sit somewhere uncomfortably close to that line. Seems that the film bears an uncanny resemblance to Poul Anderson's 1957 short story Call Me Joe. io9 was directed towards a synopsis of the tale, which the site recounts as follows: Call Me Joe centers...

How nice to know that The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction has been around long enough to get a 60th anniversary anthology in its honor. How weird to look at the table of contents and realize I’ve been around long enough to have read most of the stories already as they appeared in the [...]

"Ensign Dominic Flandry, Imperial Naval Flight Corps, did not know whether he was alive through luck or management. At the age of nineteen, with the encoding molecules hardly settled down on your commission, it was natural to think the latter. But had a single one of the factors he had used to save himself been absent—He didn't care to dwell on that. Besides, his troubles were far from over....

Flandry is on a dying man's trail and ends up on an outlying world where swimming is definitely necessary. 3.5 out of 5 http://leighdbrackett.wordpress.com/about/anderson-poul-dominic-flandry-the-game-of-glory/
