So an old man spoke warmly about an author he enjoyed when he was a kid and mispronounced a name he didn’t know how to pronounce. Shocking. Gee, I wonder why the Hugos are more irrelevant each year that passes...

Am I the only one who's getting a strong "this movie is actually an adaptation of Kindred, we simply didn't want to pay the rights to Octavia Butler's state" vibe from this film?

I love True Detective. Yes, I’m including the following two seasons.

For another, it seems like a hefty ask, for players who might want an edition of their fun vampire module that isn’t culturally insensitive, to go out and buy a $99.99 collector’s edition.

I’m not surprised. August Derleth has to be one of the most ambivalent figures in the canon of modern fantasy. On one hand, without his work Lovecraft, one of the most influential and respected fantasy writers of the 20th century, probably would have faded out in obscurity like so many other failed writers. On the…

I know something awful will happen before the ending of the episode that will ruin Morty’s prospects of a date with Jessica, but damn, I really wish the poor boy would get a break and enjoy a happy ending for a change.

Lovecraft doesn’t translate well to images, sadly. Not surprising since most of his creatures are, quite literally, indescribable. You need a director with a strong visual imagination and lots of budget, and considering the extreme existential pessimism of the original source, the second is, to put it mildly, very…

I didn’t think it it was very Lovecraftian because the magic was... well... very magicky, and the elder gods sounded more malevolent than simply indifferent. But I liked very much the main idea behind the book, namely that for someone whose whole life has been abused, inspected, micro-managed and oppressed, cosmic…

I don’t understand any of the responses here. I’ve watched Land several times and I love it. Timely, as well. Dennis Hopper is basically Donald Trump. Diary, on the other hand...

What language that word is stolen from? “Latinx” is not Spanish.

So, um. They’re going to do a spin-off of a series that was in itself a spin-off, one that was a cult series that only people in their 30s or 40s is going to remember, and they’re going to center it on a character that was so boring they had to justify her lack of personality by making oblique references to tokenism…

If you don’t need it, then why put it?

That’s a lot of words to basically agree with the person you were trying to refute.

Chillax, dude. Or dudette. Whatever.

HELGA SURVIVED. WORD OF GOD.

House on Haunted Hill is, honest to God, one of my favourite horror movies ever. Not only it has great scenery chewing by Geoffrey Rush, and the presence of THE sex symbol of my early teens (Famke Janssen), there’s something about the production design and general vibe about this particular haunting that feels off.…

I really like Korra, both the character and the show. On the other hand, 90% of the time I spent talking about the series is about the stuff I hated about the series. Believe me, I can spend hours talking about that particular subject. I have in the past. And yet, I love the series

I’m surprised. There are a lot of books I am interested in this month. Didn’t happen in a long time.

The only problem was, it wasn’t as compelling.

(Note: I recognize there’s another very good song in Dumbo. But it’s part of a very very not good scene, so I chose not to include it.)
