EP S HE BLINDED M E W ITH SC I EN CE Aliens Marnie Stern shares her sci-fi fascination and explains how it applies to songwriting. I’ve always been attracted to the pure imaginative nature of sci-fi movies. Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw. I remember even really liking Inner Space as a kid. I wouldn’t categorize it as sci-fi, but it’s fun nevertheless. I guess the possibilities that science fiction presents to the world excite me, and I’ve always attached those kinds of possibilities to writing songs. It is easy to get caught up in structure and sometimes hard to let your mind go to that otherworldly realm where creativity catches fire. I even call it “being stuck in the Matrix” when I am too focused on accepted structures while writing songs. For a long time I was stuck on trying to do something new and different. And what I didn’t realize is that the only way to get to that new place is to take things from the past and the present. That can slowly turn into reinvention. PHoTo BY SHAwN BRACKBILL 14 Ripley is the greatest heroine I can think of. Not only is she the baddest ass of them all, but she is also seen in this movie as a mother to Newt. In turn, she goes up against the big bad mama alien at the end, and they throw down. Da bomb!!! Terminator The idea of returning somewhere to correct a wrong always makes for a good movie in my book. The Matrix This one gets those ideas of open-ended possibilities really churning. Blade Runner I watch this often. It’s dark, but the tone is surreal and lovely at the same time. Independence Day This is going to sound crazy, but I like Independence Day simply for the reason that it just keeps going and going and going.
