Yes!

Okay, that's pretty damned silly. Also, impressively nerdtastic.

I don't remember which one, but it was by Andre Norton.

I saw this back at the Boston SciFi Movie Festival/Marathon, and really enjoyed it. It was full of bitchy dinner-party dialogue like some kind of "Edward Albee in the Twilight Zone" kind of thing. I found it a really well-done small-scale movie.

Eastern Nevada, along US-93-Alt, is pretty awesomely dark, too.

I AM SO SICK & TIRED OF FICTION THAT'S ALL ABOUT MEN HAVING DADDY ISSUES.

Gas masks alone aren't enough - you end up needing to cover every last inch of skin. Horrifying weapons.

Now when I think about WWI, I think of the early chapters of "A Higher Form of Killing", which talks about the development of mustard gas and other chemical weapons that were first widely deployed in WWI. Just horrifying.

Alas, now that Giger is dead, we can't see what he'd do with that. It would've been epic, I suspect.

"Montauk Time Tunnel"? Is that related to the alleged HAARP-related facility out on Long Island? Or am I misremembering and somehow conflating it with Tesla's facility?

The US Navy's plan for putting nuclear bombs on propeller driven A-1 Skyraiders launched from ships is positively whackadoodle considering the lack of (as far as I know) involvement from Teller:

When I am QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE, I will decree that there should be an X-Men/Wolverine movie with some kind of excuse for Hugh Jackman to sing and dance in character as Wolverine.

"Somehow, I imagined she'd be a woman on the top and a fish on the bottom." "No. That's the stupid way around."

Nearly everything JJ Abrams did in "Alias", too. Most of his long-form episodic narrative stuff has a bad case of "oooh, interesting conspiracy! MORE INTERESTING CONSPIRACY! ... oh, wait, nevermind. ignore that. OVER HERE IT'S THE NEW THING!"

Any word on the actual body case? Did they decide it was foul play or a particularly whacked out suicide?

Sometimes a train is just a penis.

I HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE AND ENJOYED IT GREATLY! It played at the Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival this past February. After seeing it, I described it as "Edward Albee in the Twilight Zone", with sharp dialogue and strange events.

The Johnston Ridge Observatory at Mt Saint Helen's, in Washington State. Literally built to withstand an eruption. Single road access, so easy to defend, and plenty of nearby forest area since things recovered faster than initially expected.

I *heart* data wonkery like this.
