whats the difference between this and hermit crabs using shells for defense or protective measures?
whats 19? Im trying to figure it out ..
Im still waiting for ANY new Jeff Noon book .. I guess 2010 will be yet another year without one. Sigh. Guys dropped off the face of the earth .. in all the articles on here, and all the variety of writers that are covered, have I never even seen mention of his name? ... a little more Noon love, please - the guy is brilliantly messed up.
God damn, someone give this man some money to make this shit. #doctorwho
you mean its hard not to feel sorry for eastman & laird as to how they completely neutered a great comic book into kiddy fodder? #teenagemutantninjaturtles
sounds like a fantastic idea - ill go looking for the book today, it was already on my list after your review.
I will join any effort necessary to help boycott this new show if they go ahead with this garbage.
id rather bump nasties with summer glau than sarah michelle geller.
There, I think this challenge has now been resolved.
turn Jeff Noons Vurt universe into a TV series called the Looking Glass Wars - can you imagine how fantastic that would be??
Ive never understood why they havnt made a tv series of Ray Feists Magician ...
What about a seven part mini series based on Pierres Anthonys incarnations of immortality?
... or a tv series written in Iain M Banks culture universe, adapt any novel, or just create a new story in it. Wow, holy shit - now THAT show would beat even Battlestar haha
I love that you guys call them whipits haha down here they are known as nangs ...
nang nang nang nang ...
The ozone layer destroyed by nangs, theres something hilarious in that terrible news haha
why do people always feel the need to put things into nice little boxes? Sorry, but this idea reeks of the whole "trying too hard" vibe.
kill it, please, kill it now.
what! I wholeheartedly disagree, I think this whole bandwagonism thing of wiping out stereotypes is getting out of hand now - wasnt the whole politically correct thing a part of the 90s, which we're well past now? This is the 21st century, and we should be open enough to embrace our stereotypes for what they are - broad, sweeping generalisations that we know have no basis in real fact, and not take them so seriously.
Take away the nerdy Librarian stereotype, never! Whats next, removing the stigma of science fiction geeks being highly intelligent people who wouldnt take such stereotypes seriously in the first place?
Exactly, just what I thought =P

... I was an extra on the set of Island of Dr Moreau and I can say with 100% accuracy that the above stories are all true ... and, if only I could repeat parts of it in a public place, only the tip of the iceberg .. i was at several parting as well as one at the red ochre bar and grill, with lots of the cast and oh my oh my... oh, the stories hahaha
Oh man, it was totally wild .. at said, thit would have been an amazing movie if Richard Stanley hadnt of been fired - the ideas and the script that it was before frankenfucker got hold of it was pretty brilliant.
no no no no no no nooooooooo.
looks BLAH.
hey all, I'm having a major argument with the people on my orums ... my question is this ...
In a fight between zombies and unicorns, which would win?
Its sounding like th showstopper here is the unicorns ability to heal - could it actually HEAL a zombie, or bring it back from the dead until it was.. alive .. but then it would be alive and it was a living dead ... but the zombie bite could turn the unicorn into a zombie and...
argh, my head hurts.
..... the only news im waiting to hear is if they are going to use the original sound track music, or at least bring back the composer - the soundtrack as much made Akira as the story and the animation.
Travis tho? wtf.
Is anyone else reminded of elements of Samuel R Delanys Dhalgren when they read through the ideas behind this movie?
wow, I cant believe that theres a post of Meggs exhibition on i09 - this guy and the Everfresh crew are doin some mad stuff around here in Melbourne. I went to the opening of this exhibition and it was pretty fkn cool :)
Its not "smeared bullshit" ... Meggs is a very well known street artist around here, one of the best - this stuff is a great direction for his work.
Theres even more exhibition pics up on their blog - [www.everfreshstudio.com] ... and go take a look at www.everfreshstudios.com for some other awesome stuff by the crews artist - its updated fairly regularly.
Yes, I'm a fan of their work, and this is a shameless plug for them on my favorite blog :)
okay, as far as I was aware, The Road wasnt a book about Zombies, right?
