SF Tidbits for 11/1/07

• Larry Ketchersid (Dusk Before the Dawn) responds to our list of the 16 SF/F Authors with The Highest Number of Hugo and Nebula Award Wins with his own decidedly different number-crunching list, 14 SF/F authors with the Highest Hugo and Nebula Novel Wins, which looks only at novels.
• Martin McGrath gives a very detailed (and spoilery) account of the politics in Scalzi’s Old Man’s War books. “…it is notable that democratic institutions and principles are quickly cast aside by even the likable characters in this universe and Scalzi retains a distinctly American regard for the legitimacy and importance of the military forces.”
• Locus Online has posted the contents of the November issue of Locus magazine.
• Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Dark Knight top the list of Most Anticipated Movies, which includes many other genre flicks. This is expected, though, isn’t it? Genre fans tend to be more rabid than, say, Meryl Streep fans.
• The second X-Files movie will finally see the light of day on July 25, 2008.
• Ridley and Tony Scott’s Scott Free Productions is developing Tell-Tale, a modern-day version of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic “The Tell-Tale Heart“.
• Digital Nobody lists The 5 Greatest on/off science fiction romances of all time.
