“For me, two of my favourite science fiction films are Blade Runner, which is fantastic, and Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. Both of those were smart science fiction films hitting more of a medium budget, and I desperately hope there is an audience for that kind of film because I would love that to be my next film, on that kind of scale.” KindTwoFilmNextFictionAudienceSmartScience FictionScalesMediumsFantasticBudgetsTwelveFavouriteHittingRunnersMonkeysBladesBlade Runner Author:Duncan Jones
“Blindsight is excellent. It's state-of-the-art science fiction: smart, dark and it grabs you by the throat from page one. Like a C J Cherryh book it makes you feel the danger of the hostile environment (or lack of one) out there. And it plays with some fascinating possibilities in human development, and some disconcerting ideas about human consciousness. What else can I say? Thanks for giving me the privilege of reading this.” GivingFeelsHumansArtBookIdeasStatesPlayReadingDarkConsciousnessFictionEnvironmentDangerPossibilityDevelopmentPagesSmartScience FictionPrivilegeThanksExcellentFascinatingThroatHostileHuman DevelopmentHuman ConsciousnessHostile Environment Author:Neal Asher
“Borges was unapologetically smart and equally sentimental; a proto-geek, blind to distinctions between low pulp fiction and high criticism, experimental but never arch, and always playful, with a humor as dry as dust.” FictionSmartLowsCriticismBlindDustDryDistinctionSentimentalGeekArchesPulpBorges Author:John Hodgman
“Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or and people said: "Wait a minute, he's actually smart and he knows what he's doing!" I feel that with Hostel, any time you make a film like that it's going to illicit a strong reaction and you can't worry about that.” PeopleKnowsFeelsSaidFilmStrongWaitingFictionWorryMinutesSmartReactionsPulp Author:Eli Roth
“Science fiction fans are the smartest fans in television. They just are. They're just so smart, and they know so much detail and information. They're a part of the story and they inform your character, as well. We all listen to the fans, and we love their feedback and the attention they give us.” KnowsGivingWellsCharacterStoriesAttentionFictionFansInformationTelevisionSmartScience FictionDetailsFeedback Author:Azita Ghanizada
“Going from memoir to fiction was fantastic. I had been afraid to move away from memoir; I'd written some novel drafts, but they weren't well received by my agent at the time, and it had been drilled into me that "memoir outsells fiction two to one" (not sure if that's true anymore, or if it ever was), so I felt like the only smart thing to do, professionally, was to keep mining my life for painful moments to recapitulate.” IfsWellsTwoMomentsMovingFeltFictionNovelWrittenSmartPainfulMemoirAgentsFantasticThings To DoNot SureMiningPainful Moments Author:Janice Erlbaum
“It's one of those things that if I was smart enough to explain it in words, I wouldn't have had to make a movie "World Of Tomorrow" out of it. It's a love letter to science fiction.” IfsWorldEnoughFictionTomorrowSmartLettersScience FictionLove Letter Author:Don Hertzfeldt
