Epiphanies of Sci-Fi (Day 19)

Blogging blogging blogging.
I rather like blogging actually.
It makes me feel special in the “anyone can do it but they don’t so that makes actually doing it so much cooler because of utilizing opportunities” kind of way.

But that’s not what I’m here to talk about today, nor sir, no way.

Today I had an epiphany.

It is a well known fact that as a rule, I do not like sci-fi, or at least that’s what I thought.

I never really put much thought into it, but I have often called Sunday Sci-Fi Sunday, because ever since January I either end up taping or watching a movie from the channel. Now, I used to call it Werewolf Sci-Fi Sunday because I often happened to watch the werewolf movies after I had seen Ginger Snaps: Unleashed, and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, leading to buying these wonderful, unrated Canadian films of pure awesome, from my point of view. (But be cautioned, they are not for the faint of heart)

But then I branched out watching a REAL Vampire movie, starring one Lucy Lui, but for the life of me I cannot remember its name. (I say real because I don’t count Twilight as real. Rules are meant to be broken, but not in a psychopathic, overprotective way. Although I don’t believe I have the right to judge because I have not seen the movie or read the books, so I will be fair.)

And thus began the tradition of Sci-Fi Sunday

And this morning I saw a program called BloodRayne.

The description intrigued me so in I went and spent the next 2 hours, happily entertained in this mystic little world with plot twists and action. And then 2 hours after that less entertained (the sequel was not as good. They had vampires in the old west. It was just…meh)

When this was over I got to thinking why I liked the first show. And then it hit me.

I DON’T HATE SCI-FI!

I am just not fond of futuristic sci-fi.
I love the movies with the ancient temples and monks and pretty much everything before people started fighting with guns. Guns made fighting unfair. It used to depend on your skills, how long you lived on a battle field, and now it depends whether you have the technology to sit a good 300 yards away from a fight, hiding behind a lead wall. I just liked the olden days.

I’m still not much into the raeding of sci-fi, but now I like the movies, and it’s all just a step in the right direction.

Well, I decided to share my epiphany with you all today, more classic tales from the chronicle of Alysha tomorrow :)

Ps. Yay Sarah, you said my name right on your video! And I still want to see this picture, I believe it will amuse me.
