Current reading: revisiting The Martian Chronicles by Bradbury. First read was back in my early teens, when I devoured Bradbury, Poe etc.
My SF Book Group choice for April. With the health crisis I've missed the last two, hoping to make this one & see everyone again.

This is kind of fun. How people came to believe there were canals on Mars. Particularly if you grew up (as I did) reading science fiction, and #TheMartianChronicles in particular. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/662-a-man-a-plan-a-canal-mars/

Watching a long vid on YouTube collecting the1980 tv miniseries of Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles".
The comments below it are mainly positive but I always hated the pacing & storytelling decisions of the tv series.
(I hadn't read any of the chronicles at the time. However, I liked the ideas in the tv series enough to eventually read them in the 90's. There have been adaptions in comics and audio/radio format, too.)It's still a hard slog (I'm over halfway through four & a half hours) as even its contemporary programmes were better paced. 70's era tv sci-fi suffered from wanting to mimic the liminality of Kubrick's 2001 and there were pretentions on how serious drama & acting should work with un-neccessarily long pauses that really never added dramatic tension.
Anyway, just got to the first actually good scene where a catholic-romanesque priest encounters Jesus in a church bleeding from stigmata but this Jesus is actually a martian with chameleonic ability. The priest is 'psychically projecting' a desire to meet Jesus "in person" but in doing so is killing the martian. Hm? Religious people destroying their own religions, maybe? Being prepared to destroy anything and anyone in order to live out a fantasy?
Normally, I'd put a #spoiler like this behind a content warning but if you haven't read or seen the Martian Chronicles by now then that's your own look out, mate! 🤨

Una lectura del libro, la más poética, es profundamente triste:
las máscaras de.los marcianos, su incapacidad para comprender nuestra presencia, su intrincada conexión con la naturaleza, que nosotros no comprendemos (bueno, dos sí lo comprenden 😉😉)... En fin, la incomunicación.
Algo de esa tristeza se palpa en la ilustración, y eso es maravilloso
