I was once on a Winnipeg bus and overheard someone explain his theory that everyone has a loser friend who they maintain their relationship with only out of pity. However, he said, for balance's sake, everyone IS that friend to some other person.
I think about this from time to time.

1000 Women in Horror

I like the show this to my students to get them thinking about genre and marketing, since clearly some commercials present it more as action and some more as SF. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL3g...

A new Star Trek made for TV movie is coming out tomorrow — starting an Oscar winner — and I do not sense a trace of anticipation anywhere. Even Paramount barely seems to be promoting Section 31.

A man in Prince Edward Island got doubly lucky last July, recording a meteorite's impact on his home security cameras. The space rock also landed in the exact spot he'd been standing minutes earlier.
