Awww, no love for Green River soda? That's a shame.

I'm more of a Tastee Ghoul man myself.

"Stand on Zanzibar" didn't seem quite as prescient as "The Sheep Look Up" to me. Still horrifying and brilliant, but its future doesn't seem so much like our present (at least right now).

And on the out-of-control "To be read" list it goes!

Gotta go with "The Sheep Look Up" by John Brunner; it was written in 1973 and it's the earliest thing I've read, fiction or no, that mentions antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It's also about how pollution is making more or more land unfit to grow food and all the various effects that will have on civilization worldwide

I'm planning this: For every book I read in 2017 written by a white man, I'll read one that isn't. If diversity is the metric to go by, my book shelves are pretty embarrassing.

I actually heard it from Zack Handlen, but he may well have stolen it from the best.

A friend once said the awards tend to go to MOST acting, not necessarily best.

I've had a half baked idea with seven criminals in Harlem taking out a corrupt police captain as a period piece called MAGNIFICENT '77. Probably never get made even if I had the discipline to write it.

My love of GYMKATA marks me as a sensitive, nuanced, intelligent person.

THE WARRIORS should have a soundtrack made up entirely of NYC punk singles.

Aww, nobody mentioned "Benson, Arizona". It's essentially a trucker song for long-haul space pilots who age less compared to the woman they let behind thanks to he effects of relativistic travel on time.

Ron Perlman as Victarion Greyjoy or GTFO.

David Warner is the best Satan that has ever been in a movie.

"Fallout Shelter" by Billy Chambers is a teenage death song along the lines of "Teen Angel" or "Leader of the Pack", but instead of a car crash it's about THE END OF THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

True Fact: Tropical Heat inspired a generation of Serbian political activists when it was broadcast there in the 90s. http://crewofone.com/2015/t…

I shaved my head after watching 12 MONKEYS; I have a pretty round dome and thought I'd look good bald. Kept the look for about ten years.

It's interesting just how much Michigan there is in this series; right-wing militias waiting for the end of the world make a lot of sense. And they're probably going to get turned into cannon fodder by the dozens.

Gyruss, maybe? Was the soundtrack "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor" arranged for the best off-the-shelf sound chip 1983 could provide?

All of the Westin Phipps missions in City of Villains made me feel like a monster. Among other things, you have to burn donated school books to keep people in the titular City ignorant and beaten down and turn a social reformer over to secret police to be tortured to death. I was used to acting like a villain in the
