Okay, so some of my blogger friends were posting this a while ago and I'm just now getting around to reading it... been a bit distracted. The subject of their blogging was: the Science Fiction Film Canon, based on the reviews of a guy named John Scalzi. Apparently he's been a film reviewer for the last 15 years and he wrote a book called The Rough Guide to Sci-Fi Movies. This, in his opinion, is THE canon... or in his description of these titles: "the 50 science fiction films you have to see before you die."

My friends decided to mark the titles they had already seen with bold fonts and leave the ones they hadn't seen in plain italics. I've followed suit and these are my results:

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? If you are, then you'd be looking at the movie watching habits of a woman who may very well have never had sex in her nearly 35 years of life. EVER. In fact, if I didn't have the 3 kids, I'd be highly suspicious of my own accounts.

That's by no means ALL of the sci-fi flicks that I've seen. Hells no. This list is but the tip of the cyber iceberg. For all I know now, I've really never had sex and have made it all up as a cover for the small androids I've created out of hundreds of latex condoms (tossing the packaging around to look as if I've seen action) and spare Commodore 64 parts that I've been saving over the years. Or maybe I'm just a human version of a tribble. They are born pregnant, after all.

I've said enough. Time to go feed the unicorn. (Is that a new euphemism?)
