You Need To Watch Dynamo Dream

dynamo dream.jpg

The first episode of Dynamo came out yesterday and it had not really been on my radar. I saw footage of CGI being worked on for this, but I didn’t know it was for this title. There’s a scene where the main character walks onto a lift and is brought down a few levels which had been all over my Youtube quite some time ago, so you may recognize that scene as well.

One of the most realistic depictions of an immigrant experience. It manages to flesh out both characters so well that it actually feels more like the reading of a memoir, and the end manages to be simultaneously cathartic, sad, and endearingly charmi ...more

The voice takes some getting used to in this wild and weird story of a Czech astronaut. Deeply psychological, solipsism is the point (for once, heh). His thoughts devolve in his loneliness and they find a strange kind of rhythm that slowly becomes en ...more

The concepts are pretty interesting but I found I didn’t really connect with any of the characters. Just a whole lot of action, which is fun enough, but not as substantive as Ram usually is.

Around a 3.5. Pretty mixed on the remixed tropes—but also love the idea of the suit-and-nanotech-like cape-computer thing. It’s interesting enough that id keep reading, but as with Absolute Batman, it’s just fun, rather than revelatory, as some peopl ...more

Michel de Montaigne”
Laurie Stevens, The Dark Before Dawn

Richard K. Morgan
“The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

Things I Should Have Learned by Now, Volume II”

Alaya Dawn Johnson
“And so Ikne walked away from his idyll and got a job sharpshooting for the Perambuco guerrillas in Salvador. It wasn't an easy life, and one day he got shot in the stomach by a lead bullet. The bullet fell in love with him, of course, but she couldn't stop the slow bleed of his gastric cavity into his pancreas, and she felt terrible, which was too bad, since he'd known all along what would happen.
He died; he always said he would.
Someone had to take out the bullet.”
Alaya Dawn Johnson, The Summer Prince

Tow Ubukata
“Balot was gripped by the Doctor's words, not even nodding now. Choice--right. She felt the two words spinning around like hands on a clock, then snapping into position together. A magic moment. Magic that would transport Balot to a different place. In the interior workings of choice and right a number of complicated cogs spun together. The doctor was one of those cogs.”
Tow Ubukata, Mardock Scramble

“Anger didn't do it justice. It was rage and hurt and grief and something hot enough, brutal enough to melt a man's conscience. Whatever damage I was fighting, he knew his own demons and saw them when he looked at me.
I'd never felt so close to him as I did in that moment.
And I never wanted to beat his head against the table so much.”
K.C. Alexander, Necrotech
