Comment on FILMING THE ODYSSEY by James Mottram by Sofoklis
This Norse adaptation of the Odyssey is not my thing. I will wait for a Mediterranean one, preferably a Greek as well.

Comment on Film Review: Rogue One (2016) by ajira
Rogue One proved that Star Wars could grow up. It balances the nostalgia of the original trilogy with a dark, mature, and visually stunning narrative about the high cost of hope. If you haven't revisited it recently—especially after watching its masterful prequel series Andor—it is well worth a rewatch.

Just read it. I absolutely agree with all of the above (in the review). I really choked up at the end because it is a shocker.

Comment on Earthman Come Home by James Blish by Outsider
Great review, Mark! I completely agree with your take on the unevenness of the "fix-up" format and Amalfi's almost god-like leaps of logic. Your comparison to Asimov's Foundation is absolutely spot on, especially regarding that grand scale of human expansion and the Campbellian focus on human ingenuity conquering all. I'm actually doing a deep dive into Earthman, Come Home and this specific era of…
Comment on Classic Review: The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester by Mark Yon

Comment on Classic Review: The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester by Joe Haldeman
Just watched the TV version of The Count of Monte Cristo (May 2026), and had forgotten about its connection to The Stars My Destination -- which wiped me out when I read it as a teenager in the 1950s. I had totally forgotten about the simmering sexuality just under the surface of Bester's novel, which of course becomes up-front on television's version of The Count. (Would be wonderful to have the…

Thank you for the insight.
Comment on Time for the Stars by Robert A. Heinlein by Anonymous
