I mean, if anyone would be tolerant of the show’s excesses, it’d be a Gene Wolfe fan...

It’s similar to a quote from the Talmud: “He who saves one life, saves the entire world.”

Yeah, the name comes from the large images of the deity that are placed on chariots and paraded through the streets during festivals. The British used them as a metaphor for a large, malicious, unstoppable force, and the name stuck.

And God help you if you’re hitting his sister-in-law.

The Joker: Tell me something, my friend. Where’s the cheek that doth not fade, too much gaz’d at? Where’s the maid whose lip mature is ever new? Where’s the eye, however blue, doth not weary?

I mean... Baz Luhrman?

Maybe, or maybe it would have used Goodlife to strip the planet’s resources first.

I re-read the Howard stories recently, and I was struck by how chatty Conan is. The man doesn’t shut up.

I’ve recently realized that between four television sets and three computers, I no longer have a single device in my house that can play a disk of any type.

Oblivion was a rock-solid Berserker story. 

I saw this movie and, well, I’m starting to think that the Vikings weren’t very nice people.
