Where the Heck is Barton? #1

Okay. This looks bad.
For November, I am going to run with a meme series that I have been thinking about, “Where the Heck is Barton?” It’s a reference to the fact that in the Marvel movies since The Avengers, Clint Barton – Hawkeye – has not shown up at all. Supposedly this will all be explained in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but in the mean time, I’ll be exploring a few of my theories on where he’s been.
This one is from Hawkeye #1, which if I were going to recommend a fun comic to you, this one might be the one. Every issue opens pretty much exactly like this.

It’s been a busy week, but hey, check out some of the updates to the site if you have a minute – especially my new Features page!
The above phrase popped into my head (though I suppose it’s originally a bit longer), and it was such a great moment… a really simple character trying to tell a complex story, trying to create conversation, to break the ice, to ease the tension. And the best he got was that the sky was blue…
Hope it’s all blue skies for you!
The Science Fiction Film Trifecta

I have been putting thought into doing more in terms of Science Fiction lately. More than anything, I’ve been thinking about doing more with my idea of Science Fiction Today. The idea being, take today’s problems, consider them in a Science Fiction setting, and consider whether we can be working on a solution to a problem in that way. I explained it all in more detail on Comparative Geeks.
This whole line of thought is where I started blogging from. My initial question on my Tumblr was, what would it be like for our presidential candidates (and other politicians) to present their beliefs in a Science Fictional sort of way – to say what they think the future would really look like if we followed their beliefs and plans into the future. I was contemplating writing it myself, but everything I thought of seemed like a Dystopia…
So this brings me around to the title. And some of my thinking is, maybe Science Fiction is doing alright on its own. Maybe it doesn’t need me championing the way it considers and explains the world. Maybe the big ideas I think are important are being shared with the public on a broader scale. My thoughts for this are based on three movies this year, each very different from each other, and all from big-name directors presenting big ideas. So read on for some of my thoughts on Noah, Lucy, and Interstellar!
