All I could think the whole time was that this was definitely something an alt-timeline Wolf would have gotten himself into, which made me laugh a lot during the sex dungeon scenes.

The problem with the episode is that we know why Tek Knight invited Webweaver to the party: Webweaver has an orifice no one else has. You KNOW Tek Knight was all interested in that, because orifices are his thing. Webweaver’s suit has a convenient hole in it for that orifice. We then see Hughie walking around in the…
I am kinda gonna miss Wolf Tek Knight.
I love both Blade Runner films, for different reasons. Villeneuve is a beautiful filmmaker, and he was the only reason I was willing to see it, and I was really moved by it.
And I didn’t like the whole implication that there’s a whole Replicant resistance movement in BR2049. That’s just so trite like they are setting up a whole Replicant Rebel Alliance against the evil empire of Tyrell (or whatever Jared Leto’s successor company was). I liked how the original Blade Runner was small scale.…
Did they say that was their intention? Because if not, I don’t know if I’d buy that. People knew the Adam West Batman show was silly when it was on. I would say the costumes should reflect the character personalities and backstories.
It really doesn’t.
One thing to consider is that in the ‘70s and ‘80s, very few SF/F authors, even big name ones, had a lasting relationship with a cover artist to the point where the artists and their styles became associated with their books. Most genre novels had pretty generic covers; even if you look at, say, Philip K. Dick’s…
He did a lot more than just sandworms and landscapes. If you do a Google image search on “Schoenherr Dune” you’ll get character portraits and designs for the Fremen, the Sardaukar, ornithopters, etc.
I think the video serves as an important reminder to hesitate before doing the kind of logical nitpicking that often happens in these cases. I could certainly imagine people going, “Wait, you’re saying P Diddy managed to run down a hallway at a fancy hotel, grab a woman, and kick her twice, all while wearing a towel?…
This meandering essay does not resemble a movie review.
Funny thing to me is the Jerry Seinfeld I know and love from the show would never date an 18 year old. Not because he thought it was morally wrong necessarily but because he’s so hyper-aware of the rules of society I don’t think he could go through with it.
I feel like there’s this relentless need to anthropomorphize the technology when it seems to me like deeply unfamiliar territory. You can see that with ChatGPT and Midjourney, which can create text and images that seem remarkably lifelike at first, and then the uncanniness creeps in to the point where it becomes…
They’re technically immortal, except for the ones that are abused or tortured, or set off to perform fatal tasks.
One of the greatest Simpsons jokes ever:
Right, but Messiah was him writing without someone more powerful than him trying to talk him into/out of certain things, which Campbell was legendary/notorious for. The reason most of the super-famous Golden Age writers stopped writing for Astounding was because of ideas Campbell was not only enthused about, but kept…
I just want to share, because I think sometimes it’s easy to feel despair when dealing with these huge entrenched problems: In my experience the impact of ‘Me Too’ has been absolutely seismic.
Isolation was a commercial failure. It was a great game but a stealth horror game is never going to be as successful as an action game (which is why the vast majority of Alien games are shooters). The most recent game in the franchise is Dark Descent which is based on Aliens. Before that was Fireteam Elite which,…
