  1. Riddick is probably the best out of those four: a lean, efficient B-movie w/no pretensions. Prometheus is an interesting failure.

  2. ...and here's what a brand knows when you login via facebook

  3. It's really worth seeing Godfrey Reggio's Visitors on a big screen if you can. Second only to Koyaanisqatsi among his films, for me.

  4. The entire surface of Planet Hillary is apparently covered in living human skin. A good SF story in there somewhere.

  5. suspect that for even the best writers, choice between Twitter and blogging is choice between nuance and immediate feedback.

  6. I wonder to what extent Twitter has replaced blogging, to what benefit or detriment.

  7. Caught myself composing tweet on subject best suited for paragraph: deforming the idea to fit the format. Driving a nail w/a pair of pliers.

  8. Great piece from the Paris Review by Scott Spencer on the book and its (doomed) movie:

  9. Like: why would a father of two boys casually refer to "this Xbox thing" in spring 2001, when it hadn't been released?

  10. Enjoying it, though his constantly inaccurate videogame references force me to repress my pedantry.

  11. Being snowed in gives me a chance to (finally) read Pynchon's Bleeding Edge.

  12. First instance of a countdown clock in film is Woman in the Moon (1929). Tho' for a rocket launch, & no voice, obviously.

  13. IIRC Golddfinger has a bomb tied to a countdown clock, though no voice, and Bond defuses it. (2/3)

  14. The extent to which traffic can accommodate occasional failure to follow laws is actually impressive. Though brakes also help.

Loading seems to be taking a while.
