MonSFFA Programming Change

Please Note: A correction was made since this was first posted. I had stupidly pasted the June meeting smack into the middle of the May meeting.

We have swapped the programming for the May and June meetings. This is so that our book sale will come after the SPCA booksale. I usually get some really good books off the SPCA sale to add some new content to our sale.

If you have books to donate to the sale, please bring them early on the morning of the 12th of June. Set up will begin at 10 AM. As usual, volunteers at the set up get first crack at the books!.

This is the revised schedule for the next three meetings.

Apr 17: We have an early start, NOON, with the return of the Sunday Movie Matinée, hosted by Keith. Following the classic film, and discussion of its merits, we will have a presentation by René Walling on the Bandes Desinées, AKA les BDs. And then, the culmination of 9 months work: the actual filming of our very own Stop Motion Project.

In the course of the program, the participant gathers creative feedback on their writing and free viagra on line advice on their career objectives. You can buy Booster capsules, Kamdeepak capsules and Mast Mood oil https://www.unica-web.com/DEUTSCH/2016/presidents-letter-april.html no prescription levitra using a credit or debit card. The ideal dose of this medicine is 50mg and the doctor may prefer to increase the cipla cialis canada dose to 25 mg or 10 mg. First of all, it is completely normal for experiencing ED symptoms when you are stressed or tired, make generic cialis sure that you visit your doctor in case the user feels uncomfortable side effects, he should see a doctor and get relief from the side effects. May 15: Cities of the Future! will be hosted by Sylvain St-Pierre. Mega cities like Trantor, cities in the clouds (Star Trek, Star Wars) underground (Caves of Steel) how has SF, past and present, viewed the future of urban life? How realistic are their predictions? If we travelled back to the founding of Montreal, how would the colonists react to our predictions of current life here?

A panel discussion will follow: Seeing the Past through Rose-Tinted Glasses. A bit of nostalgia–remembering the books, comics, TV shows of our youth. How well do they pass the test of time? Why did we love them so? Would our kids enjoy them at all? The classic age of SF is said to be about 15… Would you agree?

Board Games: Various members will be bringing their favourite SF/F-based board games to share.

June 12: Our Annual second hand book sale! Donations of gently used books are gratefully accepted. After which, we have tentatively scheduled a game of something or other to be determined by the group.

Denis Coderre at unveiling of Comicon GoH

From Montreal Gazette, March 25, 2016

William Shatner takes command; Gotham cast members take wing

Montreal city hall had some very special guests Thursday morning: the Hulk, Deadpool and Chewbacca were there, along with several of their associates. Oh, and the mayor was there, too. Denis Coderre helped unveil the lineup for this year’s edition of Montreal Comiccon, taking place at the Palais des congrès from July 8 to 10.

The Quebec film Turbo Kid will figure prominently in the festival-within-a-festival Comiccon Obscura.

Two new contributions from Josée Bellemare! First, a costuming tip, the first to arrive under the costuming /Cosplay tab. Let’s hope for more of the club’s contributions to that page. The second is an article expanding on one of the themes discussed at a recent panel– The Ark of the Covenant.

Costuming:  As for the sewing patterns I mentioned Sunday, here is the web site. This is just for Simplicity patterns. Besides the usual generic costumes designs, there are costumes inspired from various movies and TV shows. Have a look and see if you find anything of interest.

MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE:  We are actively looking for your costuming tips! Also looking for photographs of your costumes, props, and so on.

“In 1961 a group of Minnesota college students took Moses seriously enough to construct an ark according to his directions. Their instructor had to have the model destroyed because of the dangerously high electrical charge it developed.”

This quote is the only mention I have been able to find on the subject. Many have heard of this experiment but no information can be found to substantiate this story. Did this really happen or is it an urban myth. If it’s real, the students in question would be collecting old age pension by now.

By Brandon Anthony: There is a lot to love about the genre of sci-fi and space fiction, particularly on film. Distorted colors and shapes, (literally) out-of-this-world special effects, and incredible feats of technological ingenuity allow viewers to reimagine the universe. And when intergalactic conflicts arise, impressive sparks fly.

He then goes on to list the movies he feels have the best space battles.

I’ve always liked the space battles where ships blow up, lasers lance through the dark, but we hear not a sound.  Now, that is alien!

 

February 21st Meeting Recap

The theme for February was RED, and several did in fact remember to wear red. Josée won the points for best use of red as she had made her own  Valentine tee-shirt. We found several red tablecloths stashed in the closet and quickly appropriated them for the day.

Early Birds were treated to (or was it tortured with ??) episodes of The Wizard of Aus. It proved a dark influence, at least on one of our members who started using language she barely knew existed.  A wizard fed up with the constant warfare of his world moves to the sanest place he knows:  a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.  It does not remain sane for long….  And by the way, this is NOT the Michael Shanks we know from StarGate.

Josée Bellemare: Protecting the Magic

Josée Bellemare kicked off the meeting with a debate on “Protecting the Magic” Citing shows such as The Librarians and Warehouse 13, Josée got us thinking about magic, its uses and the dangers it could present in the wrong hands. Of course, being MonSFFen, our debate quickly spawned a slew of discussions on tangential topics, such as people believing in a flat earth, magic stones, various gods, and so on. What is it about the idea of magic that draws us to it? Why do perfectly sane and well-educated people carry good luck charms? If you believe in a magic relic, or sacred religious item, does it become real, at least for the believer? Can there be a God if there is no magic?

MonSFFA 20160221-15b panellists
Keith, François, Cathy, Fern–What drives us crazy?

Next up were Cathy Palmer-Lister, François Ménard, and Fern Novo, to lead a discussion on “What Drives you Crazy?” Fern had prepared a series of slides with some of his personal irritants, which really got people talking. Space monkeys, plot holes bigger than Montreal potholes, bad use of science, inconsistencies, budget slashing which leads to us seeing the same 3 ships flying across the screen in every episode, and so on.  Like the talk on magic, we probably could have gone on for another hour! Indeed, during supper, we talked about possibly having a panel on conspiracy theories, pseudo science and just plain bad science, and the strange things people want to believe.  Apparently, lots of things drive us CRAZY!!!

After the break and the raffle, we planned our March 13th outing to the Old Port to see the dinosaurs.

An immersive experience steeped in realism bringing to life 14 roaring full-sized and strikingly real animatronic dinosaurs. Go back in time more than 65 million years to what life was like on Earth and imagine their breath on the back of your neck. Explore spectacular prehistoric scenes telling the story of two major excavation sites, two skeletons, and twenty fossils. Discover newly revealed secrets about these giants by probing into the most recent and remarkable discoveries about their appearance and behaviours. Take command of an animatronic dinosaur and explore our four interactive stations.

We will meet at noon, in the main lobby and  buy tickets for the show closest to 1:00 PM (if shows are scheduled), and proceed to a search for snacks. (It does not seem that there are scheduled shows, but we are aiming for 1:00 PM. ) I called the science museum, we are permitted cameras, and we can get real food at a kiosk next to the ticket booths. We are also permitted to bring our own lunch boxes.

I recommend buying tickets on line, if possible, to save time. Information on parking is here. http://www.montrealsciencecentre.com/visitor-info

After that, we got into our stop motion project, which is starting to get more exciting as we move from colouring rocks and trees to the construction and testing of the “stage” for our puppets.  A broken pane of glass caused us some worry, but a solution was found. Our “art portfolio” now boasts cratered asteroids, exotic foliage, various rocks, and of course, our “puppet” dinosaurs.  If you have not yet seen our storyboards, you can download the package here.

  • MonSFFA members can now access photos from the Christmas Party and the Dr Who concert. The usual password applies, contact <president@monsffa.ca> if you have forgotten it. Our thanks to Sylvain and Fern for the photos.
  • Recently, people have been particularly conscious of the lack of diversity in fandom.  No women were nominated for the BD awards, the Oscars are lily-white, and the Puppies are barking at the Hugos–again!  Sometimes it seems frivolous, but now and then we have to stop and think, as for instance this article which appeared yesterday in the Montreal Gazette. Those graphs showing the difference in male/female roles in Disney Princess movies are scary, especially when you realize this is what might be shaping the future of our daughters.

“New research has uncovered a disturbing trend in Disney’s modern princess franchise. On average, men have three times as many lines as women, according to linguists Carmen Fought and Karen Eisenhauer. While that’s understandable in “The Little Mermaid,” as Ariel literally loses her voice — there’s a surprising irony to the lack of dialogue in a film such as “Frozen”, which features two sisters as the protagonists.”

No kidding–males speak more than 50% of Frozen–but the protagonists are sisters?
