I had not realized it was so easy. But Dylan Saccoccio, author of The Boy and the Peddler of Death (The Tale of Onora #1), has discovered the formula and is well on his way to notoriety.
First step: write a book. It doesn’t matter how good it is.
Second step: find a negative review.
Third step: meltdown online.
See? Anyone can do it.
Nichelle Nichols is hospitalized with a stroke. This is absurd. Don’t they know they could just use the transporter, subtract the clot from the buffer, and fix the problem?
Also, she’s 82, which is unpossible. I’m sure there’s also a maneuver, an appropriate slingshot around the sun, for instance, that would rewind time.
We just got back from Mad Max: Fury Road.
I was disappointed. Everyone kept telling me it was some kind of crazy feminist movie. I kept waiting for the castrations, the misandry, the “I HATE ALL MEN” shrieks, the long didactic lectures about the superiority of women, and the goddess worship, and it didn’t deliver. Instead, we got a lively action movie with non-stop pacing, and an ensemble of men and women working together as equals, and being equally human…
Oh. Hang on a sec.
I guess that makes it a radical feminist movie. It was pretty good, I recommend it. Just go in expecting what it is, a vivid rapid fire thrill ride that manages to avoid tired tropes, using women as props for men to be manly around, or being patronizing.
A new show is coming to television: Lucifer, based on Neil Gaiman’s version of the Lord of the Underworld.
I do love me some Prince.
It’s surprisingly upbeat for the topic…but maybe a hopeful note is what we need right now.
The video got blocked overnight — here’s an official source where you can hear it.
Here it is, explained for Americans who watch Game of Thrones. It’s exactly the same! Except for the lack of incest, naked women as backdrops, and bloody torture and execution.
We’re going to find out. Red Dwarf is coming back, with the original cast.
Does anyone else remember that comic book? It was about the far future, 4000 AD, at a time when humanoid robots are ubiquitous, and they go bad, very bad. Magnus was a human with amazing martial arts abilities, who’d run around in every issue destroying the robots with his bare hands. That was pretty much the theme of the entire comic book: page after page of Magnus demolishing robots. He’d often rip their heads off, and then you’d get a panel with the standard sound effect of a robot getting decapitated: “SQUEEEEE!”
If you’ve ever wondered where that word came from, I think that’s it.
It would be a great comic book to turn into a movie, except that it’s already been done. It’s called The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
