&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When we find ourselves believing that killing a man makes us more of a man but loving a man makes us less of a man, it’s probably time to re-examine our criteria for manhood.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fritz Lang) This film is one of the most formative works of science fiction of all time, and its imagery remains potent nearly 80 years later. And now that there’s a fully restored version finally hitting cinemas — for the first time ever, outside of Germany — you can finally appreciate Fritz Lang’s vision in its entirety. With its uniquely weird storyline involving a worker’s uprising and a woman’s robot duplicate, Metropolis remains a source of fascination — but it’s also the source of much of the work that comes after it.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://io9.com/5619137/25-classic-science-fiction-movies-that-everybody-must-watch"&gt;25 classic science fiction movies that everybody must watch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1015779112</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1015779112</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:15:32 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>The top 20 essential science fiction TV shows</title><description>&lt;a href="http://io9.com/5622910/the-top-20-essential-science-fiction-tv-shows"&gt;The top 20 essential science fiction TV shows&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1015768863</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1015768863</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:13:03 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Inception explained for Mac users</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7oz5gP5ZO1qzz44no1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitpic.com/2hee34"&gt;I&lt;/a&gt;nception explained for Mac users&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1007271488</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1007271488</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Aug 2010 23:58:28 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>News: Legal Loss for Anti-Gay Student - Inside Higher Ed</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/08/23/psych"&gt;News: Legal Loss for Anti-Gay Student - Inside Higher Ed&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1004374679</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/1004374679</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:58:34 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>This Is What I Think: Traditional Marriage Perverts the Tradition of Marriage</title><description>&lt;a href="http://archielevine.blogspot.com/2008/11/traditional-marriage-perverts-tradition.html"&gt;This Is What I Think: Traditional Marriage Perverts the Tradition of Marriage&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/949454908</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/949454908</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:17:05 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"In an apartment bldg filming Castle.

&lt;p&gt;Mom’s written for years from the POV of our various animals to give updates to animal rescue friends and they’ve always been wonderful. Usually pretty funny, there’s also the more touching ones about our dearly-departed pets and some of the amazing rescue stories she’s been part of. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, who can resist adorable dog pictures? (Of course looking at these makes me miss my puppies sooooo much!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please pass along this link to other pet-lovers! It’d be great to get her some followers. :) If you comment, feel free to tell her that her daughter sent you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/909200141</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/909200141</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:05:31 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"Fringe: Fox executive Kevin Reilly has assured fans that the network isn’t concerned about the..."</title><description>“Fringe: Fox executive Kevin Reilly has assured fans that the network isn’t concerned about the ratings dip, and won’t be messing with the show. He also says what the show is doing is great, and he’s just frustrated more people aren’t watching “because people deserve to see the work.” Listen, I know it’s hard to imagine where we live in a universe where a Fox executive actually supports moderately challenging science fiction, but I say we roll with it.

Kartia was the very first RPG...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4wsqooL341qzz44no1_100.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&amp;section=&amp;q=kartia#/dqvuh3"&gt;The Dark Side of Kartia by ~Tuinen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kartia was the very first RPG game I ever had, it was also my first PSX game. However, many years ago I sold it (before finishing it) for trade-in credit. Recently I got the urge to play it again so I searched to buy it at a reasonable price. eBay paid off with someone selling it (yay buy-it-now!) for under $20.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just finished Lacryma’s version of the game and let me tell you, I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! It doesn’t hurt that the artwork for the characters is by my fav illustration artist Yoshitaka Amano. ;) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I’m now ready to go through and play Toxas’ story! W00t! I should have more time with Alana and Duran, both characters I’m interested in seeing more of. (I will miss Troy, though, who is totally my favorite with his sarcastic jerkishness and brilliance.)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/759875510</link><guid>http://scifiroots.enchantingmuse.com/post/759875510</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jul 2010 21:40:00 -0500</pubDate><category>videogames</category><category>rpg</category><category>gamer</category><category>geeky</category><category>deviantart</category></item><item><title>Floating World (FacePainting)</title><description>&lt;a href="http://splinterend.tumblr.com/post/749364670/facepainting"&gt;Floating World (FacePainting)&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;BRILLIANT, long post about racism and race-bending in the film industry, sparked by the very white cast in Avatar: The Last Airbender live action film.
