Classic Chops: August 1st Sci-Fi Special!

by Michaël Parent · August 1, 2012 · Classic Chops · 7 Comments

Good news, everyone!  We’re back with another edition of “Classic Chops” featuring only Sci-Fi films… check them out after the jump!

The theme for next month: Silent Comedy Classics.

Classic Chops comes back with this new edition with a new host and many many participants.  

Classic Chops enthusiastically welcomes any essay or post you’ve composed on a film classic—and even though Ivan originally set the criterion at films released in 1965 and before, we have “cheated” a little and included films after that date that we don’t think too many people would dispute are “classics.”  Simply send your submissions to classicchops@gmail.com by August 7th at 6:00pm EDT…and any questions, comments, suggestions and unwanted curtain rods should be addressed to that same e-mail address as well.

Also, since we have a new host, I would like to introduce each month a themed edition. It will be the first wednesday of every month. For the month of August I would like to begin with only Silent Comedy Classics. You can submit these entries until September 4th at 6:00pm EDT.

Tips From Chip
Here is a general post where I discuss science fiction prior to Star Wars and the distinction between “SF” and “sci-fi”.

So what do you think of the new feature? What do you think of the reviews submitted? Please let us know in the comments.

  1. The last link is incorrect?

    The theme edition is a good idea and seems to have gotten a good response. I think making it a once-a-month special feature, leaving the rest of the month open for general reviews, is a good idea too.

  3. Lesya says:

    I so wanted to take part, but time was my enemy. I hope to participate next week.

    Quick question: are only new articles/reviews accepted? I’m an advocate of writing specifically for this or that event, but I’d still like to know.
