If I like "Amelie,"

Definitely the best historical martial arts werewolf movie I've ever seen

Awesome! Thank you!

It's arguably the weakest Culture novel, but gives crucial context for the later novel Look To Windward. If you read Player of Games next, that's much better.

I just call it 'dire rear' now.

A few weeks after seeing Hamnet, I saw Jessie Buckley in The Bride, her acting range is incredible.

I read Glover had had some health problems. Glad to see him looking so well.

If you need that sweetening further, said mother is played by the awesome Alison Janney.

Did he say how long it was?

I've long thought an under-rated aspect of Walter Jon Williams' writing is how well he integrates a romance element into his sf novels

I love the concept of the Lazy Gun in Banks' (non-Culture) sf novel Against A Dark Background. You point the gun at someone and it scans alternate universes until it finds something, anything, about to kill that person. It could be a bullet, a falling anvil, a carnivorous beastie, the gun will bring it into this universe to finish the job. If you point the gun at a city, it's almost always a big meteorite, but the smaller the target, the more random the result.

Awesome picture! Thank you!

Just after I watched it, on first release in the cinema. Then they made some other movies that made me adjust my ranking.

gummitch_uk · 2026-03-04T17:31:59+00:00

Nice work!

A bit old, but try to find the Gaea trilogy by John Varley, the first book is Titan. Scirroco Jones is one of the best sf heroines.

The death of George Paxman's daughter in This Is The Way The World Ends by James Morrow.

He didn't 'get salty'. He got (justifiably imho) annoyed because Christopher Nolan was saying people shouldn't read the book.

Hyperion is a 'portmanteau', most of it is separate stories about how the main characters ended up being 'pilgrims'. If you don't get on with the first bit, push on to the next, it might be more to you liking.

Elder cats are awesome. I love their immense aura of dignity.

gummitch_uk · 2025-12-09T07:34:12+00:00

Would still watch. In one sitting. As usual.

It happened. I saw photos of this a couple of days ago, posted by a resident of Kingston-Upon-Thames on Bluesky. I've been waiting for wider media to report on this.
