Gay Cruise Spots In Baton Rouge

Essentials of science fiction 2: The time travel

Machine to travel back in time with Rod Taylor (1960)
The journey through time, one of the most popular science fiction. Since novel The Time Machine by HG Wells (1895), travel time is an endless source of inspiration for thousands of films, television episodes, novels or comics. Among my favorite tracks are:

The Adventures of Blake and Mortimer: The diabolical trap Edgar P. Jacob.

In this comic, Dr. Mortimer inherits Chronoscaph, a machine to travel back in time created by his enemy, Professor Milos. Listening only to his scientific curiosity, Professor Mortimer take place at the controls of the aircraft that became his prison time.






Star Trek: The city on the edge of forever.

This episode is probably one of the best in the original series of Star Trek. Inoculated by mistake with a powerful stimulant, Doctor McCoy flees the Enterprise to the nearest planet. On this last, he came across the Guardian which is a portal into the past of the Earth. McCoy in the crossing, is found in 1929 during the Great crisis. The doctor by his actions will change the course of history to the Nazi victory in winning the second World War. Kirk and Spock have no choice but to find the doctor to repair his blunder.

The enigmatic scientist
La Jetée by Chris Marker

This short film of 1962 was designed like a picture story. In a postapocalyptic world, a man is sent strength in the past. The majority of subjects who experience the process does not survive or undergo extensive cervical lesions, except the latter. Scholars believe that it survives the trip because they have childhood memories are very strong. One of his memories, is the man who was shot on the pier of the airport. This film will be the basic framework of the film 12 Monkeys Terry Gillian and the main source of inspiration for the Terminator James Cameron.

You will find below the film in its entirety.


To this list I can add the episode Little Green Men Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, 1969 Stargate SG-1 and an honorable mention to Blink Doctor Who.

But the question is: it would be your destination if you had a machine to travel time?
The TARDIS Dr.

Do you have the urge to travel a few days in the future to take note of the winning lottery numbers? What would you do if a consultant in the newspaper next week you will see your name in the Death of The Press?

Are you'd rather you tried to make an omelet with eggs of dinosaur? Would you the intention of sabotaging the brakes of the car to Hitler? What would you do if you fell in love with your great-great-grandmother?

It is true that the temptation to change history would be great, but it begs the question: Is what life would be better if I kill Napoleon or Hitler? But that's a philosophical debate in which I'm not going to get wet. For cons, I think many would go for a walk in Judea around 33 AD, just to see ...

What are the historical figures you'd like to meet? Martin Luther King, Sigmund Freud, La Bolduc or Elvis?

Me, I heard an excerpt from a recent recording of the St. Matthew Passion of Bach himself. It would probably be satisfied with the quality and professionalism of today's musicians. For cons, I think he was suspicious of my iPod. Instead, I try to engage me as an extra in a film by Charlie Chaplin.


Maybe that explains this sequence shot during the premiere of Cirque Chaplin. Watch this lady who seems to speak to her cell phone!



I think if I had a machine like the TARDIS from Doctor Who, I would use it for watching trips. There are so many concerts that I would have liked to see! I would go see the creation of Beethoven's 9th symphony in 1824 and moved me 100 years later to see play Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue in New York. I would probably go to walk in London January 30, 1969 to see the Beatles performing live on the roof of the building of Apple Corps.

I would also attend a concert of André Mathieu Auditorium Plateau in Montreal. I also want to visit my hometown for years 40. I would take the tram and I would walk in the streets of the La Petite-Patrie, Villeray and Plateau. Who knows, I could see my parents or my grandparents!

Always in Montreal, I want to see Jackie Robinson on his uniform Montreal Royals. Apparently there was a whole atmosphere at De Lorimier. Until that visit this time, I will not fail to see Maurice Richard after 5 goals in one game. Hot dogs at the forum were to be cheaper at the time at the Bell Centre today! One should not forget that my camera!




But deep down, perhaps after all these trips I will say that there is finally nothing like this!
