Predestination was not nominated for a Hugo this year. But because there is some confusion about its release date and eligibility, some folks are proposing to have it held over for eligibility next year as well. |

According to the comments on , the extension for Predestination has passed. It would be good to see this nominated next year, but the feature film competition is going to be fierce. |

It did not make the cut. Of the five that did (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ex Machina, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), I only saw The Martian and SW:TFA, and would support The Martian as the best SF movie I've seen in a long time (although I don't think suit pressure would actually shoot Matt Damon as fast as the filmmakers seemed to think). |

Bah. Predestination is the best re-creation of any Golden Era story, period. Philistines. |

"'All You Zombies'" belongs to the family of Heinlein Stories With Weirdly-Punctuated Titles, of which there are many. Truly he was Grand Master of the Em-Dash— |

BillMullins, you forgot Starship Troopers (really a parody of the novel) I have to agree with PeterScott Predestination is the best Golden Age film adaptation I've seen, too. I've seen A Sound of Thunder, but only on the tube, where it may have been brutally cut to fit the time slot. In that format, I found a relatively straightforward story rendered almost incoherent. Maybe the full movie is better. If you do include Something Wicked This Way Comes, I have problems with the script. Vast swaths of the dialogue were pure Bradbury, and while they "read" right on the page, they just don't "speak" right on the screen. For a while, we watched it every Halloween. I got to cringing. When our son got old enough to cringe, too, we retired that tradition. And 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is only very loosely based on "The Sentinel" (1948). |
