Film

  • Hollywood’s capacity to retroactively jack-up a perfectly good film never ceases to amaze me, and they’re at it again. It turns out that one of the most truly frightening film produced in the last decade, The Descent, is about get a sequel which will evidently completely ignore the ending of the first film.

Literature

  • I have to make a note to stop checking io9, because, yet again, they’ve posted a list that has me panting to get to the bookstore. My wallet is going to survive many more of these… This time it’s 20 Science Books Every Scifi Fan (and Writer) Should Read.

Television

  • One of my favorite authors, J. Michael Straczynski, rails against the system in his latest rant, What the Networks Don’t Know About Science Fiction.
  • Should Blake’s 7 really get a remake? I say hells no, and yet, no one seems to care. Forward defensive screens to full!
