TJENESTER for digtere

og andre listefolk

 

INFO
Jeg opretholder forskellige lister til gavn for digtere – og lidt for andre listemagere, også

[service] Bogbloggere, Lyrik, Science Fiction 1, Science Fiction 2
[service] Folket små boghandlere
[service] Litteraturmagasiner i Norden A-A
[service] Lyrikdebutanter 2000-2022
[service] Lyrikdebutantinvesterende forlag
[service] Lyrikudgivende Bogforlag
[service] Poetiske SCENER i DANMARK 2016…
[service] REFUGIER (opdateres ikke længere)

og for film-interesserede

[service] Tidsrejsefilm [under offline-opdatering sep 2022)
[service] SF-serier (løbende opdatering)

Det sker frivilligt, ulønnet og uden reklamer. Jeg opdaterer, når jeg har tid og ork. [Evt gå til NewPub eller bogbrancheguiden.dk]

Du kan hjælpe rigtig meget, hvis du angiver ophørte bloggere, forlag og døde links i kommentarfeltet under listerne, eller hvis du har spottet gode, NYE anmelderblogs om DIGTE, eller selv er én, NYE digtudgivende forlag, NYE scener osv… 😀

Efter bedste evne opdaterer jeg debutanter hver gang jeg hører om en ny, digtudgivende forlag sjældnere, og har en bogblogger været inaktiv 6 måneder, skriver jeg “PASSIV”, mens “OPHØRT” angiver, at bloggeren har meldt ud at være standset, men bevarer sit anmeldelsesarkiv. Forsvundne bloggerlinks og ophørte digtudgivende forlag slettes fra listerne.

SKATTEREGLER for bogbloggere

I følge skatteminister Morten Bødskovs svar til Lars Løkke Rasmussens spørgsmål om betydningen af de “præciserede” beskatningsregler gældende for bogbloggere (2021), der tilsendes anmeldereksemplarer efter aftale, burde anmeldereksemplarer, der stemples “ANMELDEREKSEMPLAR” – på lige fod med  anmeldereksemplarer, der tilsendes anmeldere og bogbloggere uden forudgående aftale – frit kunne ansættes i værdi; om end denne værdi, f.eks. 0 (NUL) Kr., skal opgives til skattevæsenet.

Samt den her fra digter og jurist i skatteret Peter Dyreborg:

Oprindelig kilde for bogbloggerne: https://www.newpub.dk/ressourcer/bogbloggere-en-oversigt/ – men dén trænger til at blive opdateret.

Time Travel definition in fiction

– what to look for

 

This is my guide for my Time Travel Movie list – things to consider, when digging up titles.

NB: Be aware of plot-spoilers in method and tags – let people mess up their own viewing pleasure via imdb and RT.

PERSPECTIVE

Who is the POV of the story?
Evaluation of the Time Travel theme lies with this view.

Time Travel is a matter of perspective:
Who or what leaves the orderly progression of events, and who is visited by persons, data or objects of a later or earlier data?

Life lived out of sync
with everything else from the perspective of the observing eye – either ageing faster or slower in relative measurement.

HOW:

Entropic decay of bio-matter will co-exist with matter either younger or older life in relative terms calculated from the assumed beginning of the present cosmological expansion. Continue reading “Time Travel definition in fiction”

Good Science Fiction movies

– for whatever reason

You see the lists everywhere making clickbait articles: The twenty best… or The best of 2022… most based on stars awarded by film viewers on imdb, rotten tomatoes, Trakt or other movie databases, or “anticipated” by not being released yet AND pleasantly hyped.

Why not simply “good science fiction movies that I have actually seen”

This is what I did here. I took from the top – out of my 150 film reviews at imdb I only chose titles I had awarded from 8 to 10/10 stars, with a few 7s thrown in. I rarely bother with reviews of lesser movies, or even watching lesser movies. Even if I AM a movie fan I observe my liberty to NOT spend time looking for redeeming factors to my viewing…

I will further add to the list – I already know a few titles needing inclusion on the list, even if some of these are already well known and beloved and re-watchable in the rain eating ice-cream. But even movies with fantastic content can be good for a variety of reason besides crazy effects, weird characters or far-out storylines. Troubling, disturbing, difficult, mean is gooood! Don’tcha know?

9/10

A lovely romp of groundhog day insanity with all of the trimmings complying more than adequately with the genre tropes and maybe a little bit overdone head chopping, but which other result could possibly satisfy sword aficionados?! Also saw (a glimpse of an uncredited) Frank Grillo in Skylin3s yesterday (more of a photo cameo, really, in an otherwise insufferable, badly scripted film), and he is a fast growing clown fighter in my book – god timing, lovely body, sarcastic grin, and straight up undiluted in this role as a man fighting to live, alternating finding and losing purpose. And characteristically beautiful, Naomi Watts, though with a somewhat diminuative role, fills any role she does – above and beyond duty and this one to with the credible mix of intelligence and sensitive longing, but the biggest surprise: Mel Gibson – still the rascal, still Mel Gibson, even after anti-semitic slurs and a host of bad scripts, but boy how he won this role, fought for it nails and talons, razor sharp diction, THAT was impressive. A solid 9 for doing this lovingly and with great persistence and musicality.

And BTW: More than a loving nod to all of that simple, yet endearingly time consuming arcade games of the 80’s.

Best indie Science Fiction 1995-2019

– mostly films

I personally do not keep a list of relevant science fiction films – specifically I track Time Travel movies and Scifi+ series – but below is a worthy list of worthy films overlooked by many. In-depth, and taken very seriously. Thank you for that, emvan, user on imdb. And for giving me some good referrals, just as I was beginning to think there was nothing more to watch. Right now I am hard pressed to think of excluded indie titles of relevance.

The list included below is strictly  to create awareness (search results on titles and some traffic). For emvan’s in-depth comments and evaluations of content, please follow the source link below.

How a common cold can take you wonderful places

this is pretty much the last chance to tell the world not to use images on the net as springboards for links. Do not reverse-optimize image-connections. This is a message specifically recorded on this blog for the passing-by-future traveller with guts and a conscience, and a desire to affect big changes (even though they will never let you, but this will help): Now is your chance.

The Tesseract: Just prior to the invention of Spacetime

Charles Howard Hinton’s The Fourth Dimension (1904), is a book all about the “tesseract” – the tesseract being to the cube as the cube is to the square

timetravel.film

Then it happened. I spent a lot of money. On a domain.

At least I think I did. It seems that dot film is reserved for people, who are part of a union of filmmakers and/or affiliated with a certain movie title.

I will argue, if it comes to that, that my time travel film list counts as a service to film lovers on both side of the fence, and as a service to all who take a specific interest in TT movies and TV series.

To this end I need help program the database:

  • I have a list of titles with separation markers, making it ready for import.
  • approx. 11 fields pr. post
  • dreaming of more fields (greater variety of search results)
  • A WP database?
  • timetravel.film is presently empty, but I will soon need to install a WP and import the list from its present location
  • I would like a line listing like the original, with movie posters and stills thrown in
  • window shade pop-down of posts containing an in-depth view of data not seen in the line-view, eg. a synopsis and screenshots
  • search results, based on keywords, with options similar to the line-view
  • easy expansion of database to accommodate more fields
  • easy administration of database
  • comments as window shade pop-down
  • stars given to different criteria of a movie

= data feels accessible as one layer, right there waiting for you; there is a lightness to search results, and time travel movies is one menu, while tt TV is another, but content can still be combined by choice

How can you help, if you are interested?
