Deluge (1933)

'Deluge' is a now almost-forgotten early American disaster movie made in 1933. For decades, it was thought that all prints had been lost, but an export version, dubbed into Italian and shortened by ten minutes, was found in the 1980s, and is now available on NTSC VHS tape (there is no DVD release available, sadly).

Koga interesuju stari časopisi sa SF-om, na limundu imaju tri broja časopisa "Moji romani" u kojima je bilo SF priča.
Oni se relativno teško nalaze, ali ih je moguće sakupiti - ja imam sve brojeve osim, mislim, poslednjeg...

Oh, Science Fiction Horror Films...How Far We've Come!




Heather Massey of The Galaxy Express clued me in to this trailer for a 1960s film — and I use that term loosely — for The Wild Wild Planet, a film that was being billed as the first science fiction horror film. I guess since it features hideous human experimentation (like fusing together a man and a woman to eradicate all the imperfections) we are supposed to overlook the terrible film-making. I mean, I guess I can see the direct lineage between this and, say, the Alien franchise...but not without copious amounts of alcohol and hallucinatory drugs.

Check out the trailer and see for yourself. But don't say I didn't warn you...

Women are vastly underrepresented in science fiction circles, especially back in the pulp days. While many point to Mary Shelley, her role is a real influence, but still removed from the modern science fiction market. As we move further up in time, the pulp era saw the first professional female authors who would continually shake up the genre. Catherine Lucille Moore was one of the earlier authors to have been writing, with her first stories published in the early 1930s.

Researching C.L. Moore was an a frustrating, but rewarding endeavor. Up until now, I've put together a fairly good go-to list of books for background information on my subjects, which generally requires some additional research by combing through author or book specific texts. In this instance, C.L. Moore is largely ignored by most SF History scholars. When mentioned, it's often in the context of being married to her husband, Henry Kuttner, who's generally considered a lesser author. There is no formal biography, and the information that I found for this piece was spread out among a number of sources – a bit of information here, a bit there, and so forth.

More research was – and is – needed. Contacting Indiana University's archives, I found the existence of three previously unknown stories, and other online searches found a considerable amount of anecdotal information on Moore and her works.

Read up on The Many Names of Catherine Lucille Moore over on Kirkus Reviews.

John Campbell Jr., 'Astounding Magazine' and the Start of the Golden Age

At the beginnings of the 20th century, science fiction entered the pulp era with a bang: Hugo Gernsback was one of many editors who had created major avenues for authors to publish an enormous volume of science fiction stories, while authors such as Edgar Rice Burroughs and E.E 'Doc' Smith wrote numerous and long stories that found a major audience, while others, such as C.L. Moore, inspired by the stories that she read in pulp magazines, began to write their own fiction. In 1938, science fiction would run into another personality who would change science fiction again: When 28-year-old author John Campbell Jr. was hired to edit Astounding Magazine. Campbell's influence in the magazine market is commonly cited as the beginning of the so-called Golden Age of Science Fiction, and represented a major shift away from the conventions of Gernsback's pulp era.

In December 1929, L.W. Clayton introduced Astounding Stories of Super Science, designed to compete with the new, dedicated science fiction market that Gernsback's Amazing Stories magazine helped to put forward. Edited by Harry Bates, the magazine was a typical offering in the pulp era, featuring science action stories, a cheap price and flamboyant covers. In 1931, the magazine simply became Astounding Stories.

John W. Campbell Jr. was born in 1910, and had become a notable science fiction author in his own right throughout the pulp era. His first story, "When the Atoms Failed," was published in the January 1930 issue of Amazing magazine and was followed by a number of other stories in a similar vein before shifting to a new, less campy style in 1934 under a pseudonym, Don A. Stuart. Along the way, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and Duke University in North Carolina, eventually earning a degree in physics in 1932. With few positions for physicists available, he continued to write, eventually producing some well-known stories, such as "Who Goes There?," which would eventually be filmed three times as The Thing from Another World and The Thing (in 1982 and 2010).

In 1933, as the Great Depression took hold in the United States, the Clayton magazine chain hit hard times. Astounding had been shifted to a bimonthly schedule to help save money, but it was too little, and too late: The publication vanished from the newsstands abruptly. However, by October, Astounding was sold to another company, Street & Smith, who placed one of their veteran editors, F. Orlin Tremaine, in charge of the magazine. Tremaine brought the magazine to new heights: continuing the pulp elements of the publication, boosting circulation with popular features such as a new sequel to E.E. 'Doc' Smith's Skylark series and popular authors such as C.L. Moore and Don A. Stuart. By 1934, Astounding magazine became the leading SF publication on the market.

Evo ovako... da se vratimo malo palpovskim korenima.

U novopokrenutom časopisu Galaxy's Edge, Mike Resnick - u rubrici "Reč urednika" - iznosi nekoliko interesantnih anegdota, dogodovština, i tako sličnog iz palp ere.

Code Select Expand


http://www.galaxysedge.com/ked.htm

Preneo bih ovde jednu, s napomenom da ovo nije bukvalni prevod već sam, manje-više, prepričao događaj.




                                  Predskazanje u rubrici "Pisma čitalaca"


1948.
Novembar.
Časopis Astounding.
Rubrika "Pisma čitalaca".
A u njoj pismo Richard-a A. Hoen-a.

Fenboj - naizgled -, kao i svaki drugi, Richard je s nemalim entuzijazmom hvalio časopis i kvalifikovao priče u njoj na osnovu sviđalističkih kriterijuma. I tako, na prvom mestu se - kao najbolja po njegovom mišljenju - našla priča Don A. Stuart-a (pseudonim John Campbell-a), "We Hail"; Heinlein-ov "Gulf" se našao na drugom mestu; A. E. van Vogt-ov "Final Command" na trećem; Lester del Rey-eva priča "Over the Top" na četvrtom; a L. Sprague de Camp-ov "Finished" završila (pun intended) na petom. Kao najgoru, označio je Theodore Sturgeon-ovu priču "What Dead Men Tell".
Pohvalio je naslovnicu, rad Hubert Rogers-a, i svašta još, vezano za časopis.


Ali za novembarsko izdanje za 1949. godinu! Naravno, ovih priča nije bilo ni u prethodnom, ni u novembarskom izdanju Astounding-a!









Pomenuti pisci su sve to propratili uz osmeh i uskoro zaboravili.
Ali ne i urednik, John Campbell.



Kada je osvanuo novembarski broj Astounding-a 1949. godine... pa možete da pogađate! Campbell je "naterao" - u pismu pomenute - pisce da napišu priče istih naslova!

I tako, pismo od pre godinu dana se naizgled obistinilo, te je njenu naslovnicu potpisao Hubert Rogers, a časopis sadrži sve pomenute priče (sem priče Don A. Stuart-a, koja je zamenjena prvim delom iz serijala Asimovljeve priče "And Now You Don't").
(dodao bih samo da se u pismu pominje i neimenovani članak iz pera R. S. Richardson-a, koji se takođe pojavio u "predskazanom" izdanju)








      I tako, ko kaže da naučna fantastika nema sposobnost predviđanja!?

Could the ancient Romans have built a digital computer?

The Romans were undoubtedly master engineers. They were experts at civil engineering, building roads, improving sanitation, inventing Roman concrete, and constructing aqueducts that adhere to tolerances impressive even by today's standards. Perhaps the best evidence of their aptitude is the fact that many of those structures still stand today, almost 2000 years later. They even began dabbling in technology vastly ahead of their time. Hero of Alexandria drew up plans for a rudimentary steam engine in his Spiritalia seu Pneumatica. He called it the aeolipile.





It didn't work very well. However, by the late 3rd century AD, all essential parts for constructing a steam engine were known to Roman engineers: Hero's steam power, the crank and connecting rod mechanism (in the Hierapolis sawmill), the cylinder and piston (in metal force pumps), non-return valves (in water pumps) and gearing (in water mills). That got me thinking: Could the Romans have built a digital computer using only the technology and manufacturing processes available to them?

Maybe the first thing you would think of is a mechanical computer, like the Babbage Difference Engine:

[Mica Milovanovic]

Smeš, naravno. Ovo je Sagita. Davaj tu sliku...


Ovo mi se dopada! Neko je pratio Amazing Stories 1926. u Beogradu i objavio priču godinu dana od izlaženja!


Gaffe, ima li negde taj broj skeniran?

[Gaff]

Ima. Ali ja više nemam onu listu linkova.

Lm, nije pod kopirajtom. Prošao je kopirajt, a obnovljen je na neka izdanja tek iz 1954, a neke priče iz 1932. Kopirajt na sam naslov (Amazing Stories) je ponovo preuzet te je nemoguće štampati išta novo ili reprintovati neko izdanje.

[Mica Milovanovic]

Веома занимљиво. Ова преузета илустрација потврђује моју претпоставку да је прича преузета директно из Amazing Stories.
Друге две илустрације су, очигледно, дело наших илустратора и по стилу су сличне осталим илустрацијама у часопису Реч и слика.
Превод је сасвим пристојан и очигледно следи оригинал.

Јевтро, да ли знаш да ли је неко изучавао популарне часописе средином двадесетих и анализирао одакле су преузимали приче?
Моје несистематично и аматерско прелиставање тих часописа (Забавник илустрованог листа, Криминална библиотека, Илустровано време, итд.), док сам покушавао да нађем научнофантастичне приче за нашу библиографију, углавном ми је указивало на француске изворе, мада сам наилазио и на текстове очигледно преузете са немачког и енглеског говорног подручја. Али то је више осећај него нешто друго.

Ух. Колико овде има простора за истраживање...

Zona sumraka - Aman, gde su svi nestali?!

(pilot epizoda)

Zdravo Gaff,

ispravio bi samo ovo pilot epizoda "Zone sumraka". Naime, u (odličnoj) knjizi "The Twilight Zone Companion" imaš opis toga kako je ovo postala prva epizoda serijala, iako tehnički nije bila pilot. Rod Serling je, zahvaljujući dramama "Patterns" i seriji "Playhouse 90" stekao dovoljno ugleda da CBS-u ponudi šta želi. U želji da pokrene svoju seriju, dao im je scenario SF drame "The Time element" koju je napisao nakon diplomiranja. CBS je otkupio scenario i pilot serije (odnosno epizoda "The Time Element") je emitovan 1958. godine. Konfuzija nastupa zato što je ova epizoda prikazana kao dio serije "Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse", iako se radilo o pilotu za "Twilight Zone" na osnovu koga CBS prihvatio seriju. Resume: prva epizoda serije "Twilight Zone" jeste "Where Is Everybody", ali to nije njen pilot, već je to epizoda "The Time Element".

Inače sam prije par mjeseci pročitao knjigu, a i reprizirao originalni 1959-1964 run (dvadesetak minuta - dušu dalo za doručak i zdrav početak dana), pa mi je svježe . Pozdrav.
