Today's pulp question: which film do you think was more influential - Logan's Run or Tron?

I'm somewhat torn here. Logan's Run has a great dystopian narrative, and Tron really pushed the envelope on computer SFX. I'd happily watch either, but what do you think?
Well let's start with Tron: a tech-noir classic that pushed the boundaries of early CGI as well as using more traditional animation and post-production skills.

Get your light cycle ready...
"TRON" is a debugging command in some versions of BASIC and stands for TRaceON. It sounds cool and geeky.

Unsurprisingly the 2010 Tron movie sequel didn't use its complementary command: "TROFF"

"Fear is the mind-killer," but movie production is a close second. As Denis Villeneuve's epic movie adaptation of Dune pulls in audiences worldwide, I look back at an earlier struggle to bring that story to the silver screen.

This is the story of David Lynch's Dune...
Dune is an epic story: conceived by Frank Herbert after studying the Oregon Dunes in 1957 he spent five years researching, writing, and revising it before publication. He would go on to write a further five sequels.
Dune is a multi-layered story and a hugely immersive novel. It's about a future where the mind rather the computer is king, aided by the mysterious spice melange. It also has more feuding houses than Game of Thrones.

What do Batman, Spiderman, Bettie Page, Madonna and women wrestlers have in common? Well I'll tell you: they all feature in the life of today's featured pulp artist!

Today I look back at the career of "the father of fetish" Eric Stanton...
Eric Stanton was born in New York in 1926. His childhood was marred by many illnesses, and confined to bed he learnt to draw by tracing comic books. He was fascinated by strong Amazonian women like Sheena, Queen of the Jungle and soon began creating similar cartoons.
After high school Stanton joined the Navy in 1944, putting his skills to use in drawing aircraft recognition cartoons. Post-war he got a job with cartoonist Gordon 'Boody' Rogers, creator of Babe: Amazon Of The Ozarks.

In January 1919 a new magazine heralded the dawn of the Weimar era. Its aesthetic was a kind of demented Jugendstil, and its stories were dark gothic fantasies.

This is the story of Der Orchideengarten...
Der Orchideengarten: Phantastische Blätter (The orchid garden: fantastic pages) is probably the first ever fantasy magazine. Published in Munich by Dreiländerverlag, a trial issue appeared in 1918 before the first full 24 page edition was published in January 1919.
"The orchid garden is full of beautiful - now terribly gruesome, now satirically pleasing - graphic jewelery" announced the advanced publicity. It was certainly a huge departure from the Art Nouveau of Jugend magazine, which German readers were already familiar with.

Today in pulp I ask the question: what does life actually want, and what does this tell us about the superintelligent robots that will dominate the future?

Yes it’s time for some pulp-inspired idle musing. Twitter’s good for that…
First off: full disclosure. This is a live thread in which I’m thinking aloud. It will doubtless meander, cross itself and end up in knots. “Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself” as Walt Whitman used to say.
But the coming Singularity, when computers undergo an intelligence explosion and leave us in the intellectual undergrowth, remains a dominant idea in modern sci-fi. Much of which is very entertaining and well written I might add.

It's #LibrariesWeek this week, so today I'm asking you to something very brave and noble.

I'm asking you to visit your local public library... #MondayMotivaton
The Public Libraries Act of 1850 (And the 1853 Act in Scotland) established the principle of free public libraries for the self-improvement of all citizens in Britain, irrespective of their income.

It was a hard-won battle...
Opponents of the Act believed public libraries would become sites of social agitation: extending education to the lower orders of society would lead to libraries becoming working class "lecture halls" full of radical ideas and demands.
