+ Interstellar
This really was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The style in which they told the story, how the plot unfolded, along with relativite time and black holes...not to mention how they demonstrated the limits, pitfalls, and amazing acts humans are capable of. The plot, the acting and the visuals were very impressive and Impactful. I just love a good science fiction story so much..

+ two sci-fi heroes die this month
Jean Giraud aka Moebius
Jean Giraud, an enduring figure in European comics whose fantasy and sci-fi work — which he signed with his alias, Moebius — deeply influenced alien-world imagery throughout pop culture, has died. He was 73.
Giraud died Friday night or Saturday morning after a battle with cancer, according to a statement from his publishing house, Dargaud, which went on to say the comics world had lost "one of its greatest masters."
In America, however, he is best known for his interstellar visions, which reached these shores in the monthly R-rated pages of "Heavy Metal," the English-language version of "Métal Hurlant," a magazine Giraud helped launch in 1975. He made it a brand name with characters such as Arzach, the silent figure who glides above alien canyons astride a great, leathery bird, and the cosmically surreal story of "The Airtight Garage."

and star wars illustrator Ralph McQuarrie..
Conceptual designer and illustrator Ralph McQuarrie passed away yesterday at the age of 82. McQuarrie was instrumental in the original design of the Star Wars universe. George Lucas said in a statement:
“Ralph McQuarrie was the first person I hired to help me envision Star Wars. His genial contribution, in the form of unequaled production paintings, propelled and inspired all of the cast and crew of the original Star Wars trilogy. When words could not convey my ideas, I could always point to one of Ralph’s fabulous illustrations and say, ‘Do it like this.’”
