Helloooooooooo new nightmares!
I want this guy to do Transformers 2. That was truly when I realized that the nightmare of my life had just begun.
@AndrewMac:
Oh right, like the incest thing ever stopped the Greek gods from getting it on.
At first I was horrified, but then it struck me as kinda funny - these huge, scaly, spiky monsters, three times as big as a man, and then they have tiny little flesh colored dongs.
The reason I freak out about memory, and I imagine most people have these worries to some extent, is that all of our identities are bound up in memory.
I have a little narrative in my head that says I grew up in Colorado, I like reading books, this and that happened to me in high school, and so on.
But when I start to examine how little I remember of my average day-to-day activities, or someone tells me about something in my childhood that I've completely forgotten, I come face to face with how transient this identity is.
And it gets worse when I consider Alzheimer's and old age, and realize that what is essentially the sum totality of my life can get leached away thanks to biology. That's when I start to hyperventilate.
I used to date a chick that looked like Ms Pryor there in the number 10 slot.
Well, except for the hair curlers.
@Agent69: I've wondered that myself, sometimes, after reading Charlie Jane Anders' posts.
Man, I read the Da Vinci Code like three years ago, so I'm topped off for a while.
Wait, so how are you defining steampunk? Because Anubis Gates features magic and wizards around 1800, which I believe is a little before Victoria.
Like twenty years or so.
The Ultimates kind of started to suck in the third volume.
And by "kind of started to suck" I mean it was horrible virulent trash that jabbed knives of pure pain into my eyeballs.
@Nealjs: Aw, man, you beat me to it.
I just read the "Knight of Swords," wherein the last survivor of an ancient elf-like race sneaks into the ever-changing stronghold of a God of Chaos.
So, pretty much my typical Saturday night.
McFarlane is an ass, but that movie premise interests me.
@Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: Yes, and it's an EEEEEVIIILLL DiCaprio! With spikes and shit!
Did he reveal where he hid the good script for Hellboy II?
I kid, I kid, I loved Pan's Labyrinth.
I've been looking for another good fantasy book (the local Barnes and Noble only seems to offer Epic Heroic Trilogy bullshit), so I'll give this a try.
@txtracer: "A man writing an opera about a woman? How deliciously absurd!"
