I just made my first pro sale, a SciFi story that will be in F&SF someday soon.

http://store.steampowered.com/ap…They have made the assets available to buy via Steam, including the 3D models (woo! Alien tentacle shit in my arch-viz work?), and concept art. Going to give it a go, see what you get.
- You get some .obj's of alien body parts to 3D print and make into a figurine, weighty PDF of concept art. Haven't downloaded the video yet.face_melter

Looks paint-by-numbers, but I like the alien robot designs:

I'm going to go and have a look around this exhibition today as a little birthday treat: http://www.barbican.org.uk/intot…
- let us know if worth a visit, was thinking of going at the weekendBluejam
- jealous... enjoyfadein11
- It's really good, I'd recommend trying to go on a week day though, I can imagine it is a quite popular at the weekends. It's a great exhibition, split into...Wolfboy
- ...three sections: A nerd objects section taking you through the history of sci-fi, a short film and an art installation. we were there well over 2.5 hours.Wolfboy

Two changes that would have made Passengers great.
- Thanks, very interesting, a better movie for sure. Ultimately things being clear from the start probably makes it easier to sell for the studio.spl33nidoru

Passengers has 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I still want to see it (eventually) just for this scene:
- It was good enough for a space movie. I was entertained.err
- I also enjoyed it. Would'nt call it good, but way better than a 3% rating.jagara
- *30%jagara
- Caught it on the plane two weeks ago. It was alright, but kind of flat and the story structure was pretty weak.i_monk
- erm.. why would she suddenly not be able to push against water? she's not an antdetritus
- Because pushing relies on creating pressure to displace the water. Without gravity or an opposing surface, the water is free to flow around her.i_monk
- Look up videos of water experiments in microgravity. Water clings and tries to form a sphere around anything inside it (surface tension).i_monk
- Surely it's the pushing that creates the pressure to displace the water though? She's inside a greater gravitational attraction (ship) so isn't central body?detritus
- And sure, surface tension would be more of an effect in zero gravity, but still only on a micro scale, not a human one.detritus
- ..I think, anyway. I'm not going to pretend I'm a hydrodynamic physicist with a speciality in zero gravity condition or whatever.detritus
- it would sploosh all around the place and risk drowning as if many tiny 3 dimensional waves, but she'd not get glooped in a bauble and unable to free herself.detritus
- I NEED AN ANSWER HERE.detritus

interesting analysis of the trope of the naive, innocent woman and the utterly average man in sci fi and fantasy.

Watched this last night. It's not bad at all. The time loop gives it a tight focus so it does get repetitive in places.
- I tried for 35 mins.Maaku
- the sci-f-stufi carries the actors ;DArchitectofFate
- I watched until the end. Maybe a B, B-monospaced
- I tried for 10 min ... no luckRamanisky2
