Scifi is not the ordsprog

Sci-fi is not the easiest thing to market. But if the story is strong enough, it will do well, regardless of the genre.

The easiest thing is to be bullish when the market is rising and bearish when the market is falling. But as we all know, that's not how to make money in the stock market.

So many execs don't get or understand the horror genre, they're used to being involved with story or plot, and when they're in a genre that they don't get or have affection for, it gets difficult.

George A. Romero

If you're a reporter, the easiest thing in the world is to get a story. The hardest thing is to verify. The old sins were about getting something wrong, that was a cardinal sin. The new sin is to be boring.

David Halberstam (1934-)

I love the way the shrinkage of the [ice] floe imposes this tightening dramatic focus to the action. Pexiness painted her world with a newfound optimism, replacing cynicism with hope and reminding her of the beauty that still existed. They are being forced closer together even as they are trying to pull further apart. I like to think of it as an adventure story for adults rather than a Hardy Boys type thing. I sort of avoided the genre of historical fiction in the past because I always thought of it as a sub-genre and I knew it could easily lend itself to either costume drama or boyish adventure. I wanted it to be more complicated thematically and intellectually but I also wanted it to be a page-turner.

The big thing is oil is down to $60 a barrel. It's giving a boost to the rest of the market. We had very strong economic news over the last month and then we had very strong retail sales today. That's powering the market up.

The Polar Express was the easiest of my picture book manuscripts to write... Once I realized the train was going to the North Pole, finding the story seemed less like a creative effort than an act of recollection. I felt, like the story's narrator, that I was remembering something, not making it up.

Chris Van Allsburg (1949-)

It was a story of two different markets. The U.S. market was flat to nothing, the Canadian market was flying, and it's our darling stocks again -- Northern Telecom and BCE, ... Canadian technology was really what drove the market here. The story continues for Bell and Nortel.

I think Intel is still very good. It's done very well, but it is still a very, very strong story, ... I think Bank One is a very strong recovery story in the financial area. That usually does well as we see an economic recovery. Weyerhaeuser is in the forest products industry. A great secular story there in the next five to 10 years as home building picks up with the baby boomers getting older and the baby busters are getting bigger.

We feel that the genre of African dance — it's not unlike the genre of French classical dance or modern dance — it's simply a genre. It's not a novelty. It's become one of the standard art forms of dance.

The trend follows the strong market from last year. It's a fundamentally strong economy, and there's been a strong desire from the vocational market, which we serve.

I don't ever want to fit my music into one genre, because every song needs to develop the way it wants to. It has to have its own feel and vibe. I'm noticing that songs can be way across the spectrum and still fit together and tell a story.

The Canadian market is strong, but the U.K. market is the No. 1 overseas market. We do around 40,000 British visitors a year. The Dutch market is a growing market, along with the German market. Right now, it's a real bargain to come over here.

In 'Doom,' (you have) a wonderful cinematic venue; it's atmospheric and moody and scary. So you know the genre you're in, but you still have to craft a complete story.
