Like the one we're living in now?

I should probably be more disturbed than I am that I find that prospect more comforting than either the Brave New World or 1984 versions.

Thank you so much. This is another Brunner book I've been dying to read, and I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

re - Simon Pegg not wanting to be in Star Wars: There's also that rather wonderful scene in Spaced where he slags off The Phantom Menace and loses his job for telling off a kid who wanted to buy a Jar-Jar action figure.

There was a proposed plot arc during the third Doctor's run (where the Master was first introduced) that would have had him sacrificing himself to save the Doctor, thus redeeming himself. Sadly, that story line had to be scraped due to Roger Delgado's death in a car accident. RTD decided to re-use this concept for…

Lovely artwork. At first glance it looks too narrow and tall, but that could work on Mars lighter gravity.

iTunes is supposed to have it, from what I've read.

Thank you for that! I have been on the fence, but have decided to see this one on the big screen (assuming somewhere in my city shows it, here's hoping).

I'm not sure if this counts, but the last time we saw The Master he had just saved The Doctor's life, so I'm including it. I really want to see him come back, and return to his wicked ways.

I've never seen Trevor look so happy.

It's called "Fall in the Light" by Lori Carson and Graeme Revell. Here's IMDB's track listing:

When I first saw it (luckily in the theater) I seriously thought one of them was going to die, it was just that kind of movie. I'm actually glad it ended on such a positive note. And the music they picked to go with that (wordless) scene was just perfect. Kathryn Bigalow might be known for serious action, but she…

With the poetry I occasionally hit open mike nights (if I'm feeling rather strong willed and thick skinned ; ) just to get a reaction, and to feel that same kind of empowered feeling, but I really want to finally finish something longer, like a novel. The problem I have is that I tend to lose the plot somewhat, and I…

I have the same thing, about a dozen outlines and vague ideas, ten pages here, five there. The best I did was forty disconnected pages of one story, but I cannot seem to make it gel, and I don't know where it's going. Then there's book stores: they tend to depress me a bit, when I see how much has been written, so I…

The bit about finishing something really got me. I have started so many things, and not finished a one of them (except for poetry). I really have to just buckle down and do it.

I watch it every year or so, and the POV scenes are still harrowing. There's that one scene I can barely sit through, it's so horrific. Brilliant, overlooked movie.

All I have to say to that is f^&* the Emmy's. And the Oscars too for that matter.

While I think Captain Jack works best in small doses, it's criminal (IMHO) how overlooked he's been during Moffat's tenure; I mean not ONE episode! Just think you much more awesome The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon would have been with Jack in it? I'd love to see how 11 and him react to one another, and not to…

I agree. I think of all the Culture books this one stands the best chance of being adapted; it isn't very long and the story is (deceptively) straight forward. It also has the nice contrast of two very different society's. One could even argue it as a parable of the US policy of trying to democratize barbaric…
