Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.


This week's theme: Top Ten Sci-fi Movies


In honor of Sci-fi month in November, here are some of my favorite science fiction movies! I'm realizing as I write this post that I have seen way more sci-fi TV shows than movies...

One of my favorite sci-fi movies, plus the added bonus of having a spectacular soundtrack! This movie never ceases to bend my mind every time I watch it.

This movie was so good! I was blown away by the world building and the mystery and I got really emotional towards the end, which is rare for me with movies.

ET was one of my favorite movies as a kid, I just loved the idea of discovering an alien in my closet (even if he was kind of wrinkly and creepy looking).

Like most of my friends, I saw this movie in 9th grade Biology when we were talking about genetic engineering and the ethical implications. This movie is so sad but really thought-provoking and inspiring too.

I watched this movie when I was home alone, which was a terrible idea because I just sobbed that night. It was really good though!

Yeah, there are some white-savior-complex problems with this movie, but you can't deny it's a visual masterpiece and just filled with really cool worlds/technology.

I finally saw this movie last month, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't a huge fan of the weird bookshelf thing/non-answer about one of the main questions driving the plot but I did like the movie overall. I love how it focused on a father-daughter relationship, even if the whole "love transcends all" trope is a little overdone.

I've never seen such a stressful movie! My heart was literally pounding for half the movie, and I love how it contrasted the serene beauty of the planet earth with the life-or-death situation happening in space.

What's a sci-fi movie list without Star Wars? The latest installment is my favorite so far, because it taps into the nostalgia of the old movies but makes them way more relevant to my generation :) Rey is such a badass, and I loved Finn too! And of course, BB-8!!!

I love Marvel movies, and the Avengers was so much fun because I didn't even know that it was possible for movies to all tie in to a larger storyline until I saw this one. It was so funny and just plain fun to watch :)

The Insidious Side of the Golden Milk Latte

Okay friends, strap in, this is going to be quite a rant about cultural appropriation and all the interactions that have been bothering me lately. I am just sick of hearing from my (predominantly white) friends how indignation at cultural appropriation is so "extra" and unnecessary, so here is my attempt to explain through my south Asian/desi lens exactly what I consider to be cultural appropriation and why it bugs me. Basically it boils down to this: If I get fun of for a certain part of my culture or heritage, but a white person can do the same thing and is applauded for being "boho chic", it's cultural appropriation. If a bunch of white people start profiting off of a part of my culture or start a "trend" without acknowledging the source, that's cultural appropriation too. Golden Milk Lattes This beverage has been making the rounds on all the health-focused hipster health blogs, and is essentially an up-cycled version of a tr

The Supremely Fabulous Fantasy Subgenre Flowchart

Way back during Sci-Fi November , I made a flowchart of Science fiction subgenres so that everyone could find the sub-genre that they liked the most. The idea was that people could find recommendations in genres they didn't normally read, and maybe find a new favorite series or subgenre. It was way more popular than I imagined it would be, and a lot of you readers asked for a fantasy flowchart . Well, 6 months later, here it is! Again, some subgenres I made up and some are standard. I have read/watched most of these, but there are a few I haven't because I'm not familiar with every subgenre of fantasy. If you would like more suggestions in any of these genres, feel free to ask! I obviously couldn't fit all my suggestions on this tiny flowchart :) Fantasy Subgenre Flowchart You can always find the Sci-fi and Fantasy subgenre flowcharts by clicking on the SF/F Subgenre Flowcharts tab at the top of the page. Did you find a new subge

Way of Kings Readalong: Wrap-up

So it's finally over. That was an amazing book! Thank you everyone for joining in and making my first readalong so much fun :) I have said over and over again that Brandon Sanderson is a storytelling god. This book makes me believe it even more fiercely - it takes a mastermind to create such intricate worlds and piece together so many character and plot threads. He does such a great job of feeding you just enough answers/revelations to keep you happy, but keeps you hanging by dangling all sorts of questions for you to answer. Not to mention the bombshells he throws in at the end... Having read Mistborn, I really should have been more prepared for disaster and mindblowing moments towards the end of the book. The end was just bombshell after bombshell - some were interesting revelations, and others were shattering. The bombshells of this week: 1) Navani proves that Dalinar's visions are real , and says his unconscious decoding of an ancient language will help pave the
