The Stupidest Film Adaptation - The Mysterious Island (2005) — With Patrick Stewart, Kyle MacLachlin and Gabrielle Anwar, can you go wrong? Yes, apparently you can make the worst garbage ever! I love Jules Verne's 'Mysterious Island'. I grew up with it, and I was probably 8 or so when I first read it. I've enjoyed re-reading it over the years, gaining something with every read. It is an inspiration for any self-respecting nerd! God, where do I start? It is rarely that I have nothing good...

Anyone have any favorite recent sci-fi reads? Here are some of mine (though some of these were read last year, so not super recent): All of the murderbot books by Martha Wells To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Ammonite by Nicola Griffith Stringers by Chris Panatier The Mountain In the Sea by Ray Naylor Galactic Pot-Healer by Philip K Dick A mix of hard sci-fi, enviro/eco sci-fi, and just good fun with aliens and space. I'd love to get some good...

Are the Stargate Atlantis books considered canon? Are they any good? I just learned a few of them feature Elizabeth Weir, which has piqued my interest

Just finished reading the first 2 books of the Silo series by High Howey (Wool and Shift) working on the 3rd now. This series is addictive! The show got me into it, but I’m finding the books a lot more interesting. Anyone else reading the books or watching the show?

Adrian Tchaikovsky — Anyone read any of Adrian Tchaikovsky's works? I'm currently listening to Dogs of War, and have read a fair amount of his Sci-Fi. I really love his stuff. One of my dreams is to make some sort of video game adaptation/amalgamation/tribute to his stuff.

Has anyone read Neil Stephenson's book Anathem? It's gotta be one of my favorites.

Who's excited for Villeneuve's Dune Part 2? The first one got me to re-read the original book series up to Heretics of Dune (where I stalled half-way...). I particularly liked the audio and music; great atmosphere. It lost some momentum in the end, but what can you do, given the story.
