Everyone
at Noreascon is dashing out to grab a membership before the
prices go up! |
The staff at Noreascon Four do say that their memberships make
lovely and thoughtful Valentine's Day gifts (chocs for me though,
please), and you could even run out and get one for your mom while
the rates are low and really surprise her for Mother's Day!
Memberships are available for at various conventions, through their
web site, and via the good old fall back for the technically challenged
... snail mail.
Memberships may also be bought on Noreascon Four's installment

Discworld
Divinity
An interview with the man with a trademark floppy hat. No, not Indiana Jones
(or even Dr Who), but ... Terry Pratchett. He talks about his latest works,
Discworld and, well, the art of being Terry.

McMullen'ing
it Over
One of the brightest new voices in science fiction writing to hit the genre

Hart
to Hart
Publishing guru David Hartwell, currently filling the hotseat as a senior editor
at Tor, chats with Stephen Hunt about why only one per cent of the SFF slush
pile is of publishable quality, the joys of owning The New York Review of Science
Fiction, and the contribution made by the Philip K. Dick Awards to the field.

Windy
Miller
Frankly, what science fiction and fantasy illustrator Ron Miller doesn't know
about fine painting could be etched onto a pinhead using nanotechnology. And
he's not really windy … we made that bit up because it sounded good as a title.
Paul Barnett of Paper Tiger interviews Ron for the Nest.

Fans Will Battle(star)
Fans fed up with Farscape being cancelled are now up in arms about the re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica. In fact, they're calling for a boycott.
(NEWS)
Darkness Falls
Darkness Falls is the latest slight and extraneous scarefest to hit the big screen in dull, meaningless fashion. Director Jonathan Liebesman helms a ridiculously familiar and arbitrary cheesy horror tale that doesn't effectively challenge the simple conventions of the fright genre.
(FILM REVIEWS)
Daredevil
There were elements of grandeur thrust upon writer-director Mark Steven Johnson’s
dark superhero flick Daredevil. Despite the anticipation of the famed stoic
blind crime-fighter’s arrival on the big screen, Johnson’s sensationalistic
fantasy is, surprisingly, another arbitrary stunt-infested movie that has plenty
of kinetic movement yet never really goes anywhere with its energizing format.
(FILM REVIEWS)
Dawn
After Trip's shuttlepod is attacked, he finds himself stranded on a rapidly heating moon with an already inflammatory enemy. More Star Trek Enterprise deconstructionalism from the pen of Timothy W. Lynch.
