The problem is how do we let those people know that this area is irradiated and no good will come from settling here, rather than "those people sure had a weird superstition" or "perhaps this is a burial ground."

Yeah the only thing that ever keeps me coming back to a story is a constant threat of death.

This is how The Island of Doctor Moreau is supposed to look.

Every time I watch any of the movies in the Cornetto Trilogy I notice brand new jokes and gags.

No convincing necessary - I'm a playwright. Someone do my show.

Well if you're a theatery person and you know people that might be interested, I wouldn't be averse to setting something up. Chicago's wonderful, and there's a huge community out there that I think would be into this play.

What are you talking about?

It's worth remembering that Lando had to start somewhere.

Yes this too.

By which you mean...they cast a black actor in a major role in Episode VII and that's somehow the same thing?

INGLOURIOUS CLOANS

Also: Cast Donald Glover.

My play got written up in the New York Daily News! We're part of The Brick's Comic Book Theater Festival in Williamsburg, and we're very excited. (We also got a shout-out on #WeNeedDiverseBooks.)

Am I crazy or was there a really well regarded series of novels a few years ago that are totally sword and sorcery but as the books go on it becomes clearer and clearer that the magical races might actually be aliens and that we may not actually be in just another medieval Europe analogue, after all? What was this…

Yep. I watched this one night when I couldn't sleep. Got to the ending around 5AM, totally fucking alone in Buenos Aires. Had to turn it off and come back to it a few hours later.

I think with DC people were just kind of resigned, whereas the new Star Wars movie was new, fertile territory.

I'm good until, like, the last ten minutes.
