    In reply to Give Me A Biotech Apocalypse That I Can Believe In
    I got Queen City Jazz from a garage sale when I was 12 or so, I love the shit out of that book and possibly moreso becuse it is set in Cincy so it was familiar. I never read the others though so I am taking a trip to Barnes to get them.

    Minority Report is still one of my favorite movies, it was just fantastic though there were some off parts but I feel the same way about A.i.

    Ribofunk, by Paul Di Filippo... not exactly a biotech apocalypse, but it's got some concepts that I still can't get out of my head, years after reading it.

    I would like to order a stampeding herd of carnivorous, genetically engineered cows with a side of man-eating, Seymour-type killer plants. Medium well, please. Oh, and a nice Red wine with the meat-eating cowpocolypse, thankyouverymuch.

    Disappointing as it was, the made-for-TV remake of The Andromeda Strain had an interesting idea along the lines that you're referring to. Not quite as exciting as some of the suggestions you made, though.

    Here's something that occurred to me just from watching the teaser: he pulls the trigger and the bullet goes right through his head, but he's uninjured.

    Is the bullet not real? Or is *he* not real? He now needs all his detective skills to find out what is real and what is not.

    @A Telephone Pole: Harry Dean Stanton as the Caterpillar is kind of brilliant. Not as brilliant as Alan Rickman in the upcoming Tim Burton movie, but still...

    Ahem... MATT FREWER MATT FREWER MATT FREWER!

    Why does everyone forget good ol' Max Headroom when it comes to chatting up how many stars are in something? Completely unforgivable considering his character is mentioned (he's the white knight), and that this is a scifi news site. ^_- C'mon Meredith... show poor Matt some love and edit his name in there.

    As for Potts, I loved him in Primeval... so it's nice to hear he steals the show with this one.

    Great. A version of Alice where the Mad Hatter is about one Ed Hardy shirt away from being on Hot Chicks With Douchebags.

    @Plague: he wasn't that bad honest. think of it more as NY hipster trash not LA hipster trash. But you could easily argue that these are both bad things, but I think one is a lesser evil.
