Four Inducted Into SF Hall of Fame

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the watch-for-mandroids dept.

maxentius writes "There are four new members of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Chesley Bonestell, Philip K. Dick, Ray Harryhausen, and Steven Spielberg. The Hall, once located in Lawrence, Kansas, is now a part of the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle. This brings to 40 the number of inductees; the newest members will be officially welcomed May 6. According to the SF Museum site, "The event will include a cocktail hour, seated dinner, induction ceremony, and after-party." The ceremony will occur in the middle of the Eaton Conference, a three-day presentation co-sponsored by the museum and the University of California Riverside's Eaton Collection. This year's topic is "Inventing the 21st Century: Many Worlds, Many Histories.""

    Philip K. Dick would, of course, find something darkly paranoid about this honor and would have accepted with suspicion. :)

      Maybe he'd work it into a book which Speilberg could make a movie out of.

    What the heck has [Spielberg] done for Sci-Fi?

  3. Slight typo by GuyMannDude · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sure, these aren't "hardcore" SF offerings, but its hard to imagine another guy, other than Lucas, who consistently churns out enjoyable Scifi fare.

    I hate to nitpick but your sentence seems to be implying that Lucas makes enjoyable SciFi fare.

    You are a moron. It doesn't matter what the "fans" want or don't want. Lucas could release a 2-hour movie of himself taking a shit, call it "Star Wars Episode 3", and you would happily wait in line for 3 days for tickets. So STFU.

    The slashdot explosion of rage when George Lucas gets inducted.

    The SF Hall of Fame won't be complete until it inducts writers not yet born. I nominate the hybrid clone of Bradbury and Zelazny.
