I wanted to like The Rats: A Witcher Tale because by-and-large I love Netflix's adaptation of the Witcher stories. There are three key problems: this is a flashback narrative, which means the fates of the characters are already known to the audience; Dolph Lundgren is woefully miscast;

I caught a preview screening of Hamnet this morning. How closely it tracks with known facts about Shakespeare’s biography is debatable and it takes some liberties with the details of the play, but as a work of fiction, it is a fantastic origin story of the Bard’s greatest work.

Meet the Alpine Salamander.
It may look like just another amphibian, but did you know they have one of the longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom?
Their babies take 2-4 YEARS to be born.
Yes, you read that right, up to 4 years of pregnancy.

So this. This right here. This is when my opinion of The Conjuring: Last Rites shifted from mediocre horror film to despicable propaganda piece.
The Warrens were not pioneering paranormal heroes. At best, they were naive cranks--at worst they were grotesque con artists.

Our friend the Southern Pygmy Toad is mostly found in the Nama Karoo Biome in the center of South Africa! They are also known to live in small areas in Botswana and Lesotho! They only grow to about three quarters of an inch long! (photo by Marius Burger)

I have a lot of mixed feelings about herp shows. On the one hand, it's nice to see the variety of amphibians and reptiles present, and I almost feel a kind of kinship with the humans who attend them; on the other hand, there are invariably animals for sale that should not be--like crocodilians.

Congratulations to Tom Baker on his Member of the British Empire award! (Given the number of times he’s saved London from aliens, it probably should have been a K.B.E. 😉)
