Space Aeons...Research!

[Uncle Mike]

Having finished the LPL for this year I can now do a bit more 'research' for Sci-Fi Aeons. Basically, I like to start out with movies and radio-plays, comics and books...but always movies first. My VHS collection is vast but for this week my starting choices are:

1. Escape From New York
2. Star Trek episode 19; Arena
3. Saturn 3
4. Runaway
5. Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone (with Molly Ringwald!!!)
6. Flash Gordon

Love them all except 3 and 5, which I have never seen...

You got so much good source material... Knowing it's impossible to watch 700 hours of Cinimatic Bliss- I have linked the best clips and trailers for the following movies. These are not spoiler free. I tried to cut this list down a little.

I suggest Dark City, Dune, Event Horizon, Thing and Aliens.

Prelude to Axanar (Trek)

2001: A Space Odyssey

Blade Runner

Dune (1984)

Aliens

Starship Troopers

Event Horizon

Total Recall

The Fifth Element

Dark City

Metropolis

Wrath of Khan

Interstellar

Gatticia

Thing

Serenity

Sunshine

The Fountain

[Dezmond]

Doom!





Also Dead Space



For which conveniently Kabuki Models already makes an Isaac Clark figure

[Ghool]

Flash Gordon is always best for any sort of sci-fi reference. 

[Dezmond]

Also The Green Slime





And don't forget Prometheus!



Well, *I* liked it anyway and it is very topical for Space Cthulhu

For that matter Pacific Rim. For when Threshold decided the best way to battle a Great Old One is to build a giant robot and punch it in the face

[Earther]

Spacehunter is a great film!

[Dezmond]

Jason X





Because the world *needs* a wargame scenario about a cyber enhanced supernatural serial killer loose in Starfleet Academy

[WallyTWest]

@Dezmond- Good Refrence with deadspace- I nearly forgot about that one, and I would assume it's very on point with the target audience and content.

X-Com should be brought up at some point-

[Mr. Peabody]

X-Com should be brought up at some point-

Please and thank you.

Hahahaha...I was going to mention Jason X but was sure Mike would punch me in the head...so I am glad someone else said something.

Apparently I am going to have to find a copy of the Green Slime...looks like my kind of movie.

How about some Roger Corman...Screamers and Galaxy of Terror?

[Dezmond]

Hahahaha...I was going to mention Jason X but was sure Mike would punch me in the head...so I am glad someone else said something.

Hey, cleaver wielding maniacs are a staple of Strange Aeons!

[Basement Dweller]

Hey, cleaver wielding maniacs are a staple of Strange Aeons!

That is very true...and therefore Jason fits in perfectly...

[wolfkarl]

Can I add my two-cents and suggest the movie "Lifeforce". Bad old aliens returning to earth every once and awhile to feed on humans, and also give use the vampire legends.

[WallyTWest]

One of Patrick Stewart's best early shitty roles... Between that, trek and Dune the guy deserves a mini in his likeness! 

[Basement Dweller]

Lifeforce is a great one...I think I have a copy here somewhere...
