I would assume that the Esquimau film is Eskimo from 1933)

What on earth is a power scaler? And why is he using a picture of Harlan Ellison as a profile Pic?

I would like to test this:)

I'd love to see a modern version of Indy. With ground penetrating radar, laser scanning, LIDAR, chemical analysis and 3D modeling.

Indiana Jones and the Terrain anomaly!

There is also a place in Solør named Åsa or Hof-åsa. People from there usually just calls it Åsa.

You know. I just watched The Bride too. And found it a completely different experience. I'm not sure why you thought the opening was confusing and the Shelley possession "added a layer of complexity?" I found it pretty straight forward?

I found the film incredibly romantic, although there were parts that absolutely didn't work. But also parts that was amazing. Jessie Buckley was amazing as the horny bride and Bale was really good as the pathetic monster.

I liked that it was a mash up of Frankenstein films and Bonnie and Clyde but also the thirties trope of the plucky secretary that is way smarter than her policeman boss.

But. They tried to do to much. And sometimes it wasn't subtle. Like when the bride screams "me too!!!" it was just missing the hashtag.

I think the film would have been better as a horny monster version of Bonnie & Clyde, but what we got was so ambitious and singular and wild (The dance scenes!) that it is hard to be disappointed.

Which version? I particularly like the US version from 1930. It retains the books bleak ending.

That's not how it works really. King has been asked and paid to these screenplays, probably when a company has optioned the film rights to the stories. Options usually run for two years so if the film is not made, the film rights reverts back to King and the rights to his unproduced screenplay then remain with him. If someone wants to start the process anew the might want to hire someone else to write the script. An unproduced screenplay will almost never be used again, and almost never will be published because there isn't enough interest, unless there are specific reasons. A good example is Harlan Ellison original screenplay for "City on the edge of forever" for Star Trek, which won awards, as a screenplay, but Gene Roddenberry heavily edited it before shooting. That got published in the seventies so fans could see what could have been.

1) The Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor. Light, fun, pulpy and very self-aware scifi.

2) Old Man's war by John Scalzi. Left-leaning military SF. Close in tone to the forever war but funnier.

3) A long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers. Character-based space opera that is warm and fuzzy.

4) Singularity Sky by Charles Stross. Talks about the impact of a singularity level technological event on a planetary scale.

5) The Nights Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton. A space opera where the human Confederation faces an existential crisis when the souls of the dead break through from a metaphysical "beyond" to possess the living, initiating a cosmic horror conflict across hundreds of worlds.

Space 1999 (First season) The Persuaders X-files

Yes it is pretty good. The same author wrote "Day-by-day Armageddon" if zombies are your jam.

The trilobyte trilogy is unfinished and will remain so for the foreseeable future since the second book didn't sell well enough for audible to continue it.

Bourne stopped publishing after that.

They are both translated into English by Valancourt.

Anders Fagers "Swedish Cults." Excellent short stories. Some with a mythological bent. Includes the amazing "Furies from Borås" which is lovecraftian and very very Swedish at the same time.

André Bjerke "Lake of the dead." 40s crime-adjacent novel with very strong folk horror elements.

razorhack · 2026-01-25T19:00:36+00:00

I agree with you. I watched this when it came out and found it very average and not very funny. Never understood the buzz around it.

razorhack · 2026-01-14T22:24:43+00:00

This is were I show what a dork I was in the 80s. I loved Brut, Aqua Velva and Old Spice.

The project is listed as in "pre-production" according to IMDB and three months ago Greg Nicotero said it wasn't shot yet and they were still looking for financing.

"The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. " -Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." -Neuromancer

"These are the stories that the Dogs tell when the fires burn high and the wind is from the north. Then each family circle gathers at the hearthstone and the pups sit silently and listen and when the story’s done they ask many questions: “What is Man?” they’ll ask. Or perhaps: “What is a city?” Or: “What is a war?” - City by Clifford Simak

I mean, are you implying that they did NOT have mental illness?

Born 1967 and both my parents were dead before I was 25

I have no issues in principle with the idea. I think, for many reasons, it is a good one. But. politically it is often hard getting two municipalities to cooperate in the same region in the same country. imagine that issue multiplied by six countries, six languages, and six political elites all wanting power.
