Easy, Dune. I've read it once a year since my father gave me a copy at 12, so 19 times. It will be 20 this year. It's such a complex tale, descriptive and sometimes deceptively simple, I feel like I catch something new every time I read it.

So, that's two spyfi films with elements of comedy this year. Not bad!

This makes me feel quite hopeful. I've been attempting for some time to elbow my way to the writing table, but when it comes to length, I've always tried to strive for quality over quantity, which leaves my word count, at best, at the bare minimum for what's considered a novel. I want to put my words in peoples'…

A lot of people are not doubt already pointing out that the mind control parasites from Star Trek returned in the books, and while I don't want to get into spoilers, I will say that the written solution for that was just awful, and did a piss poor job of explaining the clearly extra galactic origins as they were…

Or, we could just have a black Peter Parker. Fury survived the race shift and became more awesome, so much so that it's pretty clear that the next cross-universe soft reboot will result in him becoming the prime universe Fury. The only people who will complain don't fucking matter anyway, and Parker's story is basic…

Microscopic glass beads? Two questions:

I kind of want to hire Leo to just narrate my actions for a day.

Using that comparison, Dead Island would be the amazing story rich and expansive game and Dying Light is the prettier but ultimately lackluster followup.

Shame he didn't do the soundtrack, too.

I don't know, but I'm sure they're pretty good at doing things with one hand.

My theory is, he was saving these in case he had to made a sudden trip back.

"I obsessively write backwards so others cannot steal my ideas."

I've been looking forward to this episode since they did some pre-season interviews and mentioned it. Well worth the wait, it was all pulled off brilliantly.

I would't go quite as far a ripped off. There was a great deal of exploratory space opera in that era, some of it serialized in pulps, all of which may have had some influence on the creation. Much more the clear rip off was Alien, which borrowed directly from one section of the book (that involves an alien life form…

Swift may have had better luck if he'd suggested an English Academy before A Modest Proposal. By that point, people were on to him. "Oh, Swifty, you're having one over us again! English Academy. Ha! Next you'll be saying that Mars has moons!"

I forget, does Matter Eater Lad ever eat a person?

I don't think we can be blamed for not guessing the connection between the staff and the twins—it's the infinity stone of Mind, after all. We've got no reason to think that would unlock latent biological abilities, unless what keeps them blocked is our own subconscious. Maybe it's actually the Reality stone, and…

I have to disagree with Star Trek. I'm not fond of the movie, but I think your interpretation of events is completely wrong. He didn't plan to get caught at all, he just went with the situation as it unfolded. He surrenders because every other reaction could result in the deaths of his people, whom he had assumed had…

And that comic is exactly why I don't read that line any longer.

That's certainly a shame, I always admired her clever way with words.
