What are the best adaptations of his work?
>>223044824The I have no mouth and I must scream game
Sadly, no one has ever adapted his magnum opus, "Spending decades covering for my pedophile kike buddy Ed Kramer and viciously attacking his accusers even after he had been convicted of molesting kids and was caught trying to flee to Israel."
The Terminator
>>223046332He's the greatest sci-fi writer of all time and your seething cannot change that.
>>223044824were there any adaptations he did not dislike ?
>>223044824As this anon said >>223046372 it's 1000% The Terminator. The first Terminator is vastly superior to T2. Kyle Reese, to me, really is the greatest cinematic hero. That and it is SF at its finest.However, for straightforward adaptations, it is A Boy and His Dog. Paladin of the Lost Hour isn't bad either, but that isn't exactly an adaptation. He wrote the episode, and the short story.I am the Harlan Ellison loremaster around here. I gave his wife an LP to give him before they both died. That and when Harlan died, I'm the one who made a memorial thread for him here.
He's a great writer but I hear he's fruitier than Carmen Miranda's hat
>>223046823Don't let it go to your head anon few people in the world let alone this thread would care you gave an album to an ailing man
>>223046372/thread
>>223046332based. friendship used to mean something
>>223046703NTA, but you're so absolutely correct. There will never be another like him. It's amazing that he pissed off his own tribe so bad that his republishing legacy (and thus legacy in the public eye) will be so much lesser than people like Kurt Vonnegut or Ursula K Le Guin
>>223044824GREAT SCOTT!What a snappy dresser!
>>223046861Nothing gets to my head bro, he's the only one of my idols I ever got to do something for. All the rest died long before I knew of them. His house was amazing btw. That and you could tell his wife was totally a fucking sex kitten back in the day
>>223046703Dan Simmons’ Hyperion is far better.
>>223046945>he's the only one of my idols I ever got to do something for.Wow, something about this actually got to me a little. I wish I could do something for one of the few that are still alive for me
>>223044824What in the fuck is he wearing?What the fuck caused this?Cocaine?
His commercial spots for Sci-Fi Channel where he just ranted for 2 minutes.
>>223047218The 70’s were a fun time. Women in 70’s clothing makes my dick diamonds more than any other dress. Dazed and Confused being a prime example
>>223047218>What in the fuck is he wearing?see>>223046942
>>223046332>"Spending decades covering for my pedophile kike buddy Ed Kramer and viciously attacking his accusers even after he had been convicted of molesting kids and was caught trying to flee to Israel."Interesting, did not know this. I know of allegations against Arthur C Clarke who fled to...India? Indonesia? Guess it was a "thing" with sci-fi writers, fucking sickos.
>>223047380Dude the 1970s and the 1980s were two different animals.
>>223044824I just watched demon with a glass hand.
>>223046852>I hear he's fruitier than Carmen Miranda's hatWas. Not is. Was. I always wanted to tell him I preferred Gene Roddenberry's rewrite of "City on the Edge of Forever" just to see if he'd burst a blood vessel ranting. Dude had a very, very bad reputation, and was close friends with JMS of Babylon 5 fame. Makes you wonder what kind of skeletons JMS, writer of tranny Matrix brother's Sense8 Netflix show, has in HIS closet?Hmmmmmmm
>>223047267Those weren't commercial spots. They were segments on Sci-Fi Buzz, which was a weekly magazine format show about sci fi and nerd culture.
>>223047552What the FUCK does that have to do with what he said about 70's fashion, you fucking imbecile?
>>223046703>He's the greatest sci-fi writer of all time Gene Wolfe
>>223047675Let us know when you can follow a thread.
>>223047675the picture is from the 80s, not the 70s. it's the comment about 70s fashion that's a non sequitur
>>223046332Just jew things.
>>223047790You're a non sequitur
>>223046703>PKD>herbert>heinleinthe list could go on. this nobody wont even appear on greatest sci-fi writers lists you fag. no one but trek pedos even know who he is
>>223044824The stars my destination was neat but overrated
>>223047218>What the fuck caused this?It's called absolute fucking RIZZ.
We don't do enough acknowledgement to the brilliance of a coked out Mainard.
>>223047218Have you seen his house?
>>223047812How DARE you engage in Pattern Recognition!!!
>>223046823Seems like he was based desuhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsbiB_4AEqI
>>223047905>I have nothing but I must POOOOOSST!We get it, you just had this pic saved and you have nothing of value to contribute to the discussion. Many such cases.
>>223047996Seen it? I ESCAPED from it!
>>223047996>what kind of house you want?>just Myst my shit up, bro
>>223047547>Marion Zimmer BradleyThe 70s sci-fi scene was full of pedos.
>>223045844fpbp most likely, I don't even know of any others and I wouldn't know how any other answer would make sense really.
Literally everything interesting about IHNMAIMS comes from the videogame, but he was directly involved in making it so I don't know how much of an adaption it really is.
>>223048086>The 70s sci-fi scene was full of pedos.Sounds like the scene was just more open about it until it got cracked down. I'd wager it's still full of them. Sounds like the kind of investigation any youtuber could get a million+ views on just by scratching the surface of what's publicly available.
>>223048015No, he was not.>Is that a VIDEO GAME...with A GUN in it???>Ban this sick filth now!>Censorship for thee, but not for me!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD2HJxbF6Ic
>>223048098>literally everythingHow can you read that and not find it interesting?
>>223048192lol what a loserThere are toy guns and real guns you genius and there's really no relationship between the two unless you are retarded. I played lightgun video games and fps's and shit all my life and it never made me go out and join the army or become a criminal or anything.
>>223048176>Sounds like the scene was just more open about it until it got cracked down.In the case of Kramer, you can find old articles about him going around the Dragon Con floor with a retinue of preteen boys in tow and how nobody was surprised at all he was busted for diddling kids. I also specifically remember his excuse for having a mountain of cheese pizza was that he was looking for boys to star in kid's sci-fi movies.
>>223046814Besides his Outer Limits episodes I don't think he liked any adaption.
>>223046332>spending decadesThat scandal didn’t last for more than a few years and he was far from the only author who tried to defend him when the first accusations were aired.
>>223047854I can tell you are an out of touch retard if the first thing that comes to your mind is Star Trek. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream has become a zoomer sensation in the last few years.
>>223048888That doesn't make it better, anon.
>>223048192grok do an early life check
>>223046814A Hulk writer ripped off Solider, one of Ellison's Outer Limits episodes and rather than sue Ellison got put on the Marvel comp list for life. https://jimshooter.com/2011/06/plagiaris.html/
>>223048743He actually really liked The Terminator as a movie, but was mad because they obviously cribbed him. Like it’s not one thing it’s 5 things all very specific to things he did. Cameron is lying his ass off and totally plagiarized him.Terminator is the synthesis of:Soldier (Outer Limits, T1 steals the opening shot of it directly, and much of the plot)Demon with a Glass Hand (Outer Limits, travel elements and robotics )City on the Edge of Forever (Star Trek, time travel elements, even down to McCoy going back in time and accosting a homeless person just like Kyle Reese in Terminator)I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream (Short Story, all of Skynet. The whole idea of a malevolent super computer is Harlan Ellison’s, the influence really can’t be understated).Sad but true, he did love the film though.
>>223048888He got arrested initially in 2000, dragged it out with every bit of kike legal chicanery in the book until 2013 when they let him enter an Alford plea for whatever reason. He was busted again in 2019 for the same shit.
>>223044824I have no cock and I must rape.
>>223049070The benefits of the people doing that being willing to acknowledge the influence and working with them. Too many media companies refused to do that with Harlan. Another good example is how many films rip-off the visual style of Moebius, but never own up to it. While some movies had to pay him off with “consulting services” just to make it not a problem. With Harlan, the shitty Justin Timberlake movie In Time, was definitely kinda based off his short story, and just ideas he was the true originator of. Crazy how few sci-fi authors these days can match that. Harlen Ellison hated the term “sci-fi” and preferred “SF” for “speculative fiction”. We still have to use sci-fi though.
AM is LITERALLY me btw, if that matters.
