This is the perfect kind of film for me: a Beckett play remade as a comedy.

This is easy:

Hooke is by far the most entertaining character in Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. And, to all accounts, Hooke and Newton were both raging assholes—but, then again, what do you expect from geniuses...especially geniuses who tend to reason out the same things at the same time? When questions of appropriate…

The Good: AMAZING effects and character design! The battle droids actually *looked* like devices built for live combat situations—heavily-armoured, heavily-ARMED, and just...heavy!

Yeah. We're definitely in the middle of a great anthropocentric extinction event. Every year we discover HOW many new species, and yet we think that the planet is *dying* because other more well-known species are going extinct? Pfft. I do not deny the fact that human impact has driven a huge number of species to…

I actually don't believe there will be any need for conflict with "legacy system" Humans since they will be, in essence, confined to a planetary environmental support system, while Digital Intelligences, cyborged or digitized posthumans, and other such networked sapients will most likely be robust enough physically,…

Once I go 2.0, I plan on treating others exactly as I treat them now: with complete and utter indifference, for the most part. I couldn't care less what someone else's version number is: he or she or it or whatever is free to live its life however it likes...provided it doesn't try to impinge on *my* freedom to live…

I *loved* Deadgirl...mainly for pointing out that teenage boys—as a microcosm for the Average American Male—are more monstrous than any zombie. It truly was a disturbing film. I cannot fathom why anyone would find the film misogynistic, since it seems very forthrightly misANTHROPIC.

I wasn't all that fond of Innistrad, after having reveled in the Lovecraftian/Barkerian horrors of the Eldrazi and New Phyrexia, but the *art* was certainly excellent, and this expansion seems to be kicking the whole ultra-Goth setting up to a whole 'nother level. I'll definitely check it out.

Verbal dysdecorum—so THAT's what I have! I'm always pissing people off by just saying whatever comes to my mind....Or maybe I'm just an asshole. :)

As a sufferer of fibromyalgia, I would gladly take place in the first round of human trials even if the therapy has a 75% of greater chance of fatality. I don't give a damn if it turns my skin green, makes my penis fall off, or renders me partially-paralyzed, I'd do ANYthing to rid myself of this pain.

Y'all want epic, heart-attack-paced "OW, MY BALLS!"-level fantasy, check out Stephen Hunt's The Court of The Air (and its follow-ups The Kingdom Beyond The Waves and The Rise of The Iron Moon), which are so packed full of action, development, and intricate mythology they will make your head explode!

Is it weird that I understand Cantorian transfinites (largely thanks to Rudy Rucker's book on infinities) better than I can understand basic arithmetic? I can add, subtract, multiply and divide omegas but can't even balance a friggin' checkbook WITH EXCEL DOING ALL THE NUMBER CRUNCHING FOR ME.

Oh, HELL yeah. With a title like "Autopsy Lake," that image is prettymuch MADE for me. Expect a 50-page novella in about a week.

My thoughts exactly! Why bother with a a galaxy full of rocks and dust and boring biological ephemera when you can explore a nearly-infinite range of simulated possibilities?

It's all a plot of the Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God! Wake up, you Frankenstein ear-phone radio slaves and know the truth!

Fifth one down looks remarkably like a gek-a-gek from Clive Barker's Imajica.

Naturally, if the entire hypothetical Homocosm (my own name for the virtual spaces running inside a hypothetical matrioshka brain) were running on one single piece of hardware, a fatal error in that hardware would necessarily take out the entire virtual species in one microsecond. However, why would you even *begin*…

By the 23rd Century, 99% of humanity will exist in the form of digital emulations and replicas endlessly proliferating within an infinity of virtual realms. The 1% that remain will huddle on what's left of the Earth, living little better than animals and wondering why the Sun is turning fuzzier every year.…
