This time around I’m using a fat Jack Nicholson for the Baron, an older Benedict Cumberbatch as Thufir Hawat, Keanu Reeves as Dr. Yueh and Robert Pattinson as Feyd-Rautha.
I’m into Book 2: Mua’Dib. It is different enough from the movie that it’s genuinely exciting! I know I read this but it was obviously long enough ago that I’m getting thrills!
Netflix digs deep into francophone literature, ok deep as in I had never heard of it, with Lupin: https://youtu.be/Y3tVDKuORi8My quick research says he was a thief of several novels though the preview has a look of a Marvel character or a vampire.
It’s official, I just purchased a used paperback copy from Clean Earth Books through Amazon. It should be here by the 9th.
I wish Boudicca had had an ending so well. But Rome did so many things well. Some of their roads are still in use, we repatch/replace ours frequently. Here is some new dark and epic looking Marvel from Hulu: https://youtu.be/BvqJQaJ6i0w
Hey Ian! I hope things have gotten better for you. I’m keeping my head down and getting through it all one book, one step, at a time.
Neil Clarke, publisher of the award-winning Clarkesworld magazine, presents a collection of thought-provoking and galaxy-spanning array of galactic short science fiction.Galactic Empire allows science fiction writers to ask (and answer) questions that are shorn of contemporary political ideologies and allegiances. This simple narrative slight of hand allows readers and writers to see questions and answers from new and different perspectives.
Really looking forward to some SciFi!
Finished the Challenger documentary - there were no dry eyes on episode four. 😭. Excellent documentary!
If you haven’t started the Challenger documentary on Netflix you should. It’s made beautifully and feels more hopeful than today. They dreamed big.
Visually stunning nuns in India/Nepal(?): This is an unusual place and we should expect unusual things.

This is the technicolor version: https://youtu.be/CZRzcLK1Ar0
All based on Black Narcissus
That was a good scene Canavan.I had forgotten how aware they all were of the fremen beliefs and their plans to exploit them as a last resort.
“To hold Arrakis,’ the Duke said, ‘one is faced with decisions that may cost one his self-respect.’ He pointed out the window to the Atreides green and black banner hanging limply from the staff at the edge of the landing field. ‘That honorable banner or could come to mean many evil things.”
And one of my favorite lines on politics in general:
“The people must learn how will I govern them. How would they know if we didn’t tell them?”
It’s a new wound on country scabbed and bleeding... festering.
I’ll dive back in tomorrow, Peter Hamilton has me the neck right now.
The glamorous and bloody French Revolution with a paranormal twist; oh Netflix, what have you done now?!? This could be good or it could be ridiculous: https://youtu.be/IsxWB4IDTrs
Gangster Irish priests! https://youtu.be/dfk6VNDby8YThere was something hilarious about Alec Baldwin in an Irish accent saying “These guns aren’t gonna shoot themselves!”
Part of the twelve step program - finish all unfinished books. I have a ways to go too.
Likely anywhere the Spacing Guild went. A woman’s work is never done.
I’ve only read the Butlarian Jihad: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...They are too easy to put down due to comparison. The writing was fine and there are some memorable characters. There is a reason Kevin J. Anderson is trusted with some of geekdoms most treasured stories.
