Schrödinger's Dinner Party

By: Kimmel, Daniel M.

In 2011, Daniel M. Kimmel's Jar Jar Binks Must Die took the sf world by storm, earning him a Hugo Award nomination and a permanent place in the pop culture pantheon.

Now, with Schr dinger's Dinner Party, Kimmel is back with fifteen more years worth of new film commentary. He covers the range of science fiction movies from the very beginning to the potential classics of today, telling us not only why we want to watch them, but in some cases why they shouldn't have been made. He casts his critical eye on films you probably know-Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars (again), and Planet of the Apes (old versus new)-films you ought to know-The Manchurian Candidate, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and The Brother from Another Planet-and films you'll be happy to discover-Heartbeeps, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and Coherence (which inspired the title of this collection)-as well as many, many more.

Was this movie an important classic or a better-off-forgotten? Will you love it or hate it? Most importantly, will you agree with Kimmel or not? You'll only know for sure once you open this book.

Film critic and award-winning author Daniel M. Kimmel is the author of the Hugo-finalist non-fiction volume Jar Jar Binks Must Die... and Other Observations about Science Fiction Movies, and the novels Shh It's a Secret: a novel about Aliens, Hollywood, and the Bartender's Guide, and Time On My Hands: My Misadventures In Time Travel. He is the winner of the 2018 Skylark Award (formally known as the Edward E. Smith Memorial Award for Imaginative Fiction), which is given by the New England Science Fiction Association for lifetime contributions to science fiction.
