This week I’m reading MaddAddam, the third part of Margaret Atwood‘s post-dystopian/post-apocalyptic trilogy that began with Oryx & Crake and continued with The Year of the Flood — although because Oryx & Crake and The Year of the Flood ran more or less concurrently, perhaps “continued” isn’t quite the right word.

Teaser Tuesday 6/13/2017: “Husk”
This week I’m readying Husk, by D.P. Prior, in which a bounty hunter “Maresman” arrives in the Old West alien town of Portis on the trail of an outlaw “husk”, or demon, who is apparently responsible for the deaths of at least five people. Hilarity does not ensue.
It’s right behind me, isn’t it?
Not A Review Of “The Tailor of Panama”
So this week we watched “The Tailor of Panama“, an adaptation (or maybe distillation) of the John le Carré novel of the same name.
Teaser Tuesday 4/25/2017: “King of Thieves”
So this week I’m reading King of Thieves, by Evan Currie.
Not to be confused with Star Wars or Rogue One. Or maybe it is.
Not A Review Of “Event Horizon”
So October seems to have been my month for getting caught up on movies I should have seen long ago, but didn’t. A few weeks ago, it was 1997’s “Contact“; and on Halloween, I finally got around to seeing the cult SF/horror film “Event Horizon“, also from 1997.
Event Horizon: Coming soon to VHS!
Teaser Tuesday 10/4/2016: “The Lost Fleet – Dauntless”
So this week I’m reading Dauntless, book one of “The Lost Fleet” series, by Jack Campbell.
Is this the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy?
Random Rejection: Science Fiction Age Magazine, “The Fold”
So seeing as it’s been quite a while since I reached into my vast pile of rejection (and occasional acceptance) letters, and we haven’t had many amusing movie-related interactions* here lately, I thought it might be time to dredge up an ancient rejection letter. Random.org said I should choose this one, from Science Fiction Age:
