It's a different guy. Mr. LaFountaine passed away a couple of years ago.
This is a great post. Need more like this during Nanowrimo!
I make a similar list of the emotions and/or general themes that mean a lot to me and that I want to come out of what I am writing. Then I spend some time trying to condense that list list into a sentence or two to help focus the writing. Something like: Smart and greedy people can make stupid mistakes out of indifference, but the more powerful they are the more likely it is that someone with less power will have to pay for their mistake in a very bad way.

Go Noles!
Final picture. Guy holding the script looks like Shannon.
But they could be seeing us now as a weak and ineffectual threat because we can't control our environment. Divided and unhealthy equals weak. But if we join together and fix the problem together and gain better control over our environment, we could be viewed as an even bigger threat. Then we are doomed.
@wendigo69: Thanks.
The first two book are good enough, but the third book is just terrible. It reads rushed like Koontz just wanted to end the series. Plus it has a mutant character that is Jar Jar Binks level bad and annoying.
And now I read that Koontz is also working on a second trilogy following the events of the first three books.
@LittleDragon: Looks like a shot from the chest-buster scene in Alien.
"House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer. In a dystopian future, a nation between the US and Mexican borders is run by a drug lord who keeps clones of himself for replacement parts. One clone figures out that he's next, and makes a run for his life. Also North Americans trying to cross the the drug lords country to get into a more prosperous Mexico get turned into mindless slaves to work the fields.

@Russ Ring: Forgot to add one more:
Of the 10 warmest years of the 20th Century, 5 were before 1950 and 5 were after 1950.
@Russ Ring: Very well done and accurate list.
Great topic.
Perhaps there needs to be an SF equivalent of an Oprah. Someone who has the respect of a large number of SF fans to recommend once or twice a year an SF book.
Max Headroom?
Maybe I blinked and missed them but what about The Invaders with Roy Thinnes and
Kolchak: the Night Stalker, and the original BBC Life on Mars?
Why no love for the Horta from Star Trek TOS?
Idocracy. First ten minutes are classic. The rest, not so much.
Alexander Skarsgård (Eric) = Thor. Better than that skinny little Papa Kirk they chose.
I read chapter 1. It was incredibly dull.
He's out of the running...unless he's posturing for more money.
$3.99 for a weekly? May pass and wait for the trade paperback.
Looks like they they purchased some Star Wars: the Clone War stormtrooper Halloween costumes.
