Goddamnit! I was just about to say: "Does it support eXistenZ?"

Wow, this sounds like a brilliant show. "Tune in this week as Firestarter...uhh, sets something else on fire." Woo.

I saw this on Monster Brains a couple of days ago and *loved* it. The Japanians really take Lovecraftian horror to the next level with an added dose of surrealism.

I will never, ever look at a glory-hole the same way again.

Huh. This actually looks pretty good! I'm down with the giant robot tearing up town....

I love WWII and time-travel in equal amounts, but my dislike to Connie Willis' 3rd-grade prose and inane plot maguffins (the "timestream," really?) is far, far greater.

I loved Smith's sci-fi books—Only Forward was actually incredibly touching—but, man, his "thriller" The Intruders was, despite its rather generic title, one of THE best mystery/horror novels I have *ever* read. Many details from the book also line up with my life in an almost freakish fashion. The hallmark of a truly…

Uhhhh...The Dream of Perpetual Motion—the *entire freakin' book?*

Wait, I thought the Martenses lived in New England. That one's a looooong way from Tempest Mount!

I am a total sucker for exorcism movies.

@Seth Williams: Wojciech Kilar's score for Bram Stoker's Dracula is directly responsible for my wanting to become a film composer.

This sounds really cool. The mythology of ancient Kem is sooooooo rich for memetic mining!

@rrbeck: Capitalism unchecked by regulatory agencies and commissions is inevitably bad, but NOTHING drives technological evolution faster than a competitive free market.

@Illuminatus: HELL yeah! Only if the break-off is done to Computer Club's cover of "Bizarre Love Triangle"!

Whoah, wait a sec—was that a *Sir Ian McKellen* Transformer?!

Hence the reason I'm never leaving this planet's biosphere in my current organic chassis. I will not set appendage in ANY vacuum environment if my corpus is not completely vacuum- and radiation-proofed.

ABOUT TIME the corporate world jumped on the space bandwagon. NASA is on its last legs: the *only* thing that will keep space research going is profitability—and now that corporations worldwide are finally springing up to take advantage of the orbital and lunar frontiers, we'll probably see the *real* Space Age…

Steampunk gunfight at the OK Corral? I'm sold!

John Brunner was *really* ahead of his time. Check out The Sheep Look Up and Stand On Zanzibar for early glimpses of the Information Age and social networking, as well as glimpses of our hypersexualized pop culture of "fame for fame's sake."
