Shouting into the void about books ,shows,movies




#Pluribus E3 . Did it add any new info ? Still glorified zombies aiming to please. Toxic positivity to the max .
Grocery store scene felt pointless. Well choreographed for sure. So what does the hive eat ? All the same (vegan) dishes or do they vary . In which case individuality is allowed?

Pluribus tomorrow.
So the joined are constantly watching Christmas movies? Yeah, Carol is understandably losing her shit . Go off some more, girl !

Was tired enough to just put on the first cringey ass Christmas movie of the season . Ugh . Might convince me to forgo any more of these . Rec only if tired and brain dead . For eyeroll exercises .

I had a great time as a guest on Nevermind the Music – this was a really cathartic conversation for me, for this moment in history.

Don't worry if you haven't seen Superman yet; no spoilers, and we mostly talk about other things!

Lots of fun music clips, too.

Listening to Nevermind the Music pod’s episode with Elysia on hope punk and it made me think up another label for the 📚I am reading (Urth of the New Sun half way through) : Gene Wolfe is genre-punk .

Watching Down Cemetary Road and it’s no Slow Horses ( meaning I didn’t get the itch to immediately read the book) , but I like it ,has some absurd moments and Mr.C some incredible ehem lines . I am sold on Emma Thompson as the silver fox detective.

And now I am giving a chance to this new show that after watching the first ep in 2 parts I still hope to get on board with . It’s The Last 11 of Us

I gotta sit with The Book of the New Sun for a bit before starting a reread ,that is expressly recommended by GW ( I wrote you a bible thingy , do with it what you will lol). Why write a sequel though? Second coming doesn’t have one😏
Lining up Urth of the New Sun because completion

Forgot to say ,I watched GDT’s Frankenstein too and I think it’s a sin against cinema that they don’t release it more widely in theaters. Also it took me back to the play with Cumberbatch & Miller. Same vibes with more gore .

Alt: Jacob Elordi as the ‘Monster’ in the movie Frankenstein , wearing a dark hood is removing his mask to say ‘Now .. Run’ to a dark figure with his back to the screen . There is wind and snow happening .

There were not in fact 500 pages , more like 50 so I finished The Book of the New Sun and at the end some things were a bit predictable, some were further mind bending, some eww cringe wtf moments , but hey it’s timey-whimey . GW is yo-yoing with genres and also drinking a lot of catholic juice .
Do not plan impossible things . Still 500 more pages of Book of the New Sun .
Severian has been found by the Supreme Intelligence, found God on the road to Dam.. the H Absolute by being kissed by a Rose on the grey . Also according to GW if you can’t find Jesus you become nonbinary. Hmm .
Very tired these days . I am not much present on here . Update : today I started my day by purchasing a ticket to Predator Badlands .Friday will do double feature with that and Frankenstein . Reading now Citadel of the Autarch (on chapter XXVI) , planing to finish by the weekend.

Watched Predator :Badlands and liked it . Just a fun movie on a Friday evening , fast paced , resolves what it sets out to resolve , integrates well into the Alien&Predator universe.

Dislike button?
Why ?
People should learn to scroll the fuck away from shit they don’t like and if muting and blocking work properly than why? Invitation for asshat behavior? I thought this place was better than that .

Finished Sword of the Lictor yesterday and : wild . Wild shit is happening .Frankenstein spotted . In reverse , somehow .And a lot of JFC with a twist .
October 29, 2025 at 12:03 AM
Finished my complete rewatch of IWTV S1 and 2 . The long wait for Lestat season starts .
Tried the Mayfair Witches S2 and I am stuck mid ep 4 . It’s like after wearing a highly crafted hand tailored suit you have to put on someshit from Shein .
October 27, 2025 at 12:35 PM
I am up to chapter XIX of The Sword of the Lictor and while our protagonist/ narrator has matured some ,his deep misogyny is still alive and well 😒.
This series is in conversation with so many sci-fi /horror /fantasy stuff . The latest I detected some elements of 28 Years Later 👀

The blast radius of how much this is going to suck is going to be huge. Best practice for creatives in Hollywood, for crude self interested reasons alone, is to stay as far away from whatever the fuck is going on at Paramount as possible
David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:

“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

#Task final episode was excellent!
Lots of tension, well resolved, emotional , beautifully shot .

“exultants—exarchs, ethnarchs, and starosts”-WTF 👀
When you think you have a good theory of what one of these terms might be , the author just goes and yanks the proverbial carpet from under your feet .What The What !
