My favorite Christmas movie = DIE HARD. Yours? Why do we love to watch Shit Blowing Up?
I know I do! Where did that come from? If you think about it, it seems decidedly counter-survival to be drawn to big, loud, fiery blasts. I mean, for millions of years of evolutions, that pretty much meant lightning strikes, forest fires, and erupting volcanoes. [...] The imminent release of the movie Surrogates provides the latest corroboration of Victor’s Law of SF-Film Adaptation: The best way to get your work adapted into a science fiction or fantasy movie is to: Do a graphic novel. Surrogates falls into the former category. As for the latter, I also believe (call it a corollary) [...] “You dog! You speckled-shirt dog!

I didn’t look forward to texting them to get used to the idea of wearing their lungs on the outside or anything.
Possible preparation for [...] So that Larry can finally stop bugging me. Yes, tonight (Saturday, January the Last, 2009) I laid me down and watched the pilot. Then again, along with many other good things he’s done for me, he’s the party guilty of giving me the Firefly full-season DVD (buy it). So I reckon the man’s entitled. He shoots [...] So I finally did something I should’ve done weeks ago: went and saw Iron Man. Just up front: if you haven’t seen it, it’s a great movie. Also if you have.
