Ghostbusters premiered in the USA 7 June 1984.  It was such a stupid movie back then but I enjoyed it immensely and it’s moving into different spheres. I borrowed it a while back and told the kids not to watch it as they might laugh, wrong move, they watched, they laughed and have now bought the game for their Xbox. Don’t hassle me, I didn’t buy the machine.

Jurassic Park premiered in the USA 9 June 1993. I know this movie has been dissed by so many people in so many different ways, I know there are problems with the foundation of using DNA to get dinosaurs but the movie was great. The idea of having dinosaurs onscreen like that and having actors interacting with them was just fabulous. I’ve watched the extras on the DVD and it just made me enjoy it more.

Jesse Francis McComas (June 9, 1910, Kansas City, Missouri – April 19, 1978, Fremont, California) was the first editor of SF & F, or Science Fiction and Fantasy magazine, in 1949. It was groundbreaking and has encouraged many new writers and readers.

Joss Whedon Joseph Hill “Joss” Whedon born June 23, 1964. Anyone who’s seen Buffy, Angel or Firefly knows the genius that is Joss Whedon. His latest attempt is Cabin in the Woods, I’ll be seeing it on 14th June along with Nullus Anxietas 4, if you’re in Melbourne that night you can join us, advance bookings are here.

The last item in my calendar for June is Mercedes Lackey Mercedes “Misty” Lackey (born June 24, 1950).  Lackey is a fantasy writer. She’s not that old but has already written over 100 books, my nephew swears by her so she must be good, I haven’t had the chance to read her yet I’m sure that’s a joy for me when I get there.

I’m sure there are other people and events but this is all I have for June. I’ll give you a round up of another month another time.
