@ultra76: My boyfriend named it Adamantium when it came up in the movie. I look forward to seeing what "element" it ends up being.
I got a bunch of these via e-mail (possibly saved, possibly since deleted) that were of more fun, fewer daemons crawling from the depths. I would love to see this in person.
@justvisiting: I read Johnny and the Dead but have not gotten my hands on Only You Can Save Mankind
@justvisiting: Just finished Johnny and the Bomb last night, so I appreciate the reference. :)
@cljohnston108: But he doesn't call it science fiction. He calls it fantasy, and comic fantasy at that.
@Josh Wimmer: I can't see the benefit of writing about petty squabbles in relationships. Do you know of an author that does this, regularly, readably?
I'd also recommend The Number of the Beast if you want to read about poly family squabbles. Although I do grok that most people find the book deplorable, I enjoy almost all Heinlein that I've read.
@Josh Wimmer: Like, every polyamorous relationship he writes about is nearly perfect; if it's ever more complicated to have several spouses instead of just one, we never get any indication of it.
I disagree. Friday's polyamorous marriage was horrible, although that had a lot to do with her status in society. And Mama Maureen's experiences with Brian and his new young thing weren't the best either.
@AllOfUsAreLost.: Signs up as Pratchett rabid fan
@alchemisto: Redheads for the win. Always, all things. :)
@GreyHammer: Yes. It's to discourage the Germanic peoples from figuring out their language. :)
This will make the re-reading of the wonderful world of oz with my daughter more interesting. What's most fascinating here, I think, is that these all seem to be by the same artist. What a wealth of imagination to be had in that one mind.
this...could be ok. Maybe. ~has protective love of Little Fuzzy~
@RandomFrequentFlierDent: wait is that a book, Nation? I may be clueless but you can't say anything about Terry Pratchett and just leave it at that.
If I could recall
The rules of haiku I
Would write one to you
Full of win. The loneliness one is my favorite.
@atrus123: I believe that most of Heinlein's adult fiction isn't friendly to film, either because of ideas that are counter to modern culture or lots of internal dialogue/monologue in the parts of main characters.
Moon as a Harsh Mistress would be delicious, if done well, as a film production. But the juvenile books would make tremendously great brain candy, also.
I can just imagine some of the Boy Scout short stories put together into a nice short movie aimed at kids and the parents who love sci-fi....
@birdmocker: The villians on Dollhouse were, essentially, the corporate entity. Well, and Alpha. They weren't exactly kill or be killed kind of individuals (except Alpha).
@Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: ~gently reminds myself not to ask any difficult questions while on rooftops around here~
@MrGOH: Do you really want to know? ~LOL~
Oooh oooh! _I_ am in San Antonio! I had no idea this was going on, and I look forward to trying to attend some of the lectures.
@RandomFrequentFlierDent: Dora's a sweet girl, but Athene and Minerva were my favorite girl/machine/computer minds made human in the Laz Long books.
