Orc King / the Dame
Bob, Thank you for participating in Babel Clash. Before you go, would you like to take the opportunity to tell us about The Ghost King and the Dame? Why are these classic Salvatore must-reads? Morgan ...
Gremlins
The debate this week is about movies, and it has turned to elves at the movies. Unfortunately, we’ve had some gremlins in the machine. Just like an old-fashioned movie reel slipping off the track, we’ve experienced some technical difficulties. Bob Salvatore is still on schedule to post this week. Because...
Is it me?
As I sit here thiinking about those moments in science-fiction/fantasy movies that really caught me (”Close Encounters of the Third Kind” had about 50 of them, by the way), I notice that almost all of them are far back in time. Most of that is probably me - you see...
Thanks, all…
I’ve been reading the comments and finding myself nodding in agreement, or with appreciation as I came to look at something from a slightly different perspective. Great conversations, great feedback - particularly in that last post, “Is it me?” Off I go to finish another book… PEace, Bob Salvatore ...
Drizzt at the movies?
Bob, do envision Drizzt making it into a live-action film? Do you have favorite scenes that you’d especially love to see on the big screen? When envisioning scenes for your Drizzt adventures, do you consciously build scenes with cinematic scope or does that come naturally given the genre? ...

Aha, password issues resolved and here I am. I see that we’re discussing the best moments in sci-fi/fantasy films…I think I’ll show my age.

“Robinson Crusoe on Mars”: I used to watch this movie every couple of months on those Saturday morning monster matinees. The idea of the hero alone in a strange and hostile place is so terrifying…well, I guess it’s time to show why you’re the protagonist here.

Those moments of building a “home,” a place of reasonable security against such odds seem to me to be an essential element in escapist fiction. Sure, the world is big and bad and scary, but you can make that cave your home.

Similarly, the scene in “Lost in Space” (the series, not the movie), where the Robinsons, West and Smith first crash onto a hostile planet and have to carve out some sort of hope and home…the scene that most comes to mind is when they are all gathered in their all-terrain (all glass) vehicle exploring together, trying to find solutions together. I love that stuff!
