I Have A Presentation Idea
Oct. 31st, 2006 01:21 pm"First Contact in Film and Television: Crossing the Uncanny Valley"
It's going to partly be an analysis of first contact events in films like Alien and TV shows like Threshold and Star Trek with regards to the concept of the Uncanny Valley and how we apply it to fictional extraterrestrials. I may also offer speculation about what extraterrestrials might "really" be like, though I have a feeling that there's a lot to talk about in the first part.
250 word abstract to follow later today...
