When I was young I read all the Robotech books. It definitely made the transitions between seasons/series smoother since they could make whatever connections they wanted to instead of relying on editing existing footage.

I assume this is supposed to be Conan and he is laughing at a wizard who tripped on his own robe and fell flat on his face. David D. Davidson fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Jun 22, 2020 |

Eastern Europe poster art of the 70s and 80s, like the countries, was free of church influence and morality. Censors were a ok with titties but any description of personal freedom opposing the greater good of the collective would be chased down quicker than a nipple on American prime time today.

Mokotow posted:Turkey was pretty secular in the 80s so the point stands. I'm sorry but no, we had a lot of book bannings here in turkey at 70's and 80's, quite a lot of them due to 'communism' and yes, thought policing, but some of them due to 'obscenity' too. We have a 'Preventing Obscenity for the Young' law since 1927 and 80's had it reaffirmed by then prime minister Turgut Özal. Tropic of Capricorn from Henry Miller was banned here for obscenity, just like it was in the states in 60's, etc etc.

Logan 5 posted:Got plenty of friends that will insist that furries actually started with Animorphs. I'm always like, nah you just missed out on some sci-fi in the late 80s/early 90s: Chanur books own, they're gritty expanse style space trader/politics yarns with a surprisingly sly take on gender relations. The covers are extremely embarrassing and I used to rip them off.

Neo Rasa posted:They did manga style cover illustrations for the Japanese release of all of the Honor Harrington novels. I was reading a bit about it and it seems a lot of fans prefer these because the character design/other stuff going on on the cover is more accurate to how things are described in the books. People didn't like this cover?

However, I guess he had to pay the bills, because he took a heavy turn into franchise and videogame novelizations.

He did some Star Wars, Star Trek, and Alien Nation in the 90s, but what video game stuff has he done? I don’t really count the Blade Runner sequels since he had a good relationship with PKD before he died.

The Bladerunner sequels are odd. Like, it's a cash-in on someone else's world but Jeter is pushing the limitations of his remit hard, making for some weird way out there plots. As in, the second sequel is about the filming of Bladerunner, being watched over by Deckard as a creative consultant.

You could almost miss the motorcycle in the background - there's a lot of racing bikes around the outside of the building, which is a massive arcology. But that massive camera is the weirdest thing in the picture

When I was a dumb kid who was dumb, I thought after all that criticism MJ went through, it was weird that he'd shoot a music video where he's worshipped like a god-king and man, that one song on that album that was just a tantrum Even the dumb kid thought it was weird and meant something I'm not 100% sure this is sci fi:
