Or tonight you could watch the results of the first-ever pretty much nationwide US presidential primary. Instead of the Iain Banks thing, I mean.

@super_bryant: It's not really a show. It's sort of a doodle that gets broadcast on TV.

@Frozen-Tex: Yeah. It's a Tiptree short story.

The NGC thing would be horrifying to me. Not b/c of Baldwin, but b/c my incredibly overpriced house is gonna be underwater in that scenario. Seriously, it's like a neck and neck race between the end of my mortgage and global warming.

OTOH, maybe it'll only rise enough that I'll finally have that beachfront property I always wanted! [/saw Superman I over the weekend]

@charliejane: As I recall, (SPOILER) it ends up being an alien conspiracy to de-populate earth.

I keep waiting for the Masters of Horror series to have some actual masters of horror doing them. Or for them to be actually scary. Or for that matter, watchable.
These things are so terrible I want to punch a baby.

(waits for Annalee's Flash recap...)

@charliejane: I love this Masters of Horror series -- I actually own the Stuart Gordon one. Too bad the Masters of Science Fiction version never took off. There were four in that series, and damn they all pretty much sucked except for "Jerry Was a Man."

@Frozen-Tex: I consulted a couple of different TV listings, and they had this labeled as a new episode, but you're probably right. I do remember a whole run of new masters of horror eps aired last summer.

@Buji: Yeah, I saw it before as well, several months ago, actually, like in the summer.

I'm pretty sure that episode of Masters Of Horror is a repeat: "Screwfly Solution"

I'd prefer six degrees of Kevin Bacon
