…Geez. Did *nothing* happen today?
I was expecting at least something interesting or of note, but apparently not. All right: open thread. Tell me what I should do with my Amazon birthday money.

The March Patreon stuff is up!
This was a complicated month, so I put up the first three chapters of my next novel (GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND), as well as the latest stuff for ASHES OF EMPIRE. Honestly, I can’t wait for the summer. There’s been a lot of stuff going on lately.
Patreon!Tweet of the Day, I Think @SonnyBunch Is Maybe Right About The Razzies edition.
I’ve never really liked the Razzies all that much. The original idea was funny, but mean – and since then, it feels like the funny has leached away, leaving only the mean. Which should be instructive, I guess.
In honor of Bruce Willis they should disband entirely. https://t.co/ghHDN4AVvY

In the Mail: The Night’s Black Agents Director’s Screen / Resource Guide.
All hail birthday money!
I picked up a couple of other things, too, but the Night’s Black Agents Director’s Screen / Resource Guide showed up first. I’m thinking of running NBA at a con, one of these days: I have to skip WashingCon this year, but there will be others. I want to run an actual Carnival of gore and betrayal, with literal bridges burned, so I guess it’ll be in… Venice? I could make that work, I think.

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER cast reveals a truth…
To wit: actors just can’t resist that sweet, sweet Marvel money. Even the big names:
“[Chris] Hemsworth is returning to the title role, alongside Natalie Portman, returning as Jane Foster, and taking on the mantle of Mighty Thor; Tessa Thompson, returning as Valkyrie; Jaimie Alexander as Sif; Karen Gillan as Nebula; Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Sean Gunn as Kraglin; Waititi himself as Korg; Luke Hemsworth as Asgardian Thor actor; Sam Neill as Asgardian Odin actor; and Matt Damon as Asgardian Loki actor. They join newcomers Christian Bale, who will play Gorr the God Butcher; Melissa McCarthy, who will play Actor Hela; and Russell Crowe as Zeus.”
…I raised an eyebrow at the suggestion that Waititi is reusing the ‘actors recreating the last movie wheeze,’ but casting Melissa McCarthy as Hela is a good enough visual gag that I’ll allow it.

PS: Hmm. Do I want to see this one in 3D? I might, rabbit. I might.

The SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Honest Trailer.
I wanna push back a little on Honest Trailers: the studio did its level best to muddy the waters on the Big Reveal of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME. They did better than I thought they would on that front, too. Also note: there’s some big spoilers in this video. I assume everybody’s already seen it (it’s a fun flick), but You Have Been Warned.
