So did anyone see the last episode of Fringe

January 29th, 2009

OK, I finally got around to watching this weeks Fringe.  And I can’t help but think of a certain book called Snow Crash.  Don’t get me wrong for some reason I am totally sucked into this show and enjoy it greatly.  But a computer virus that melts people’s brains.  Cool, but I have to question the quality of brain matter that would randomly click on a pop-up window like that…every IT person’s dream come true worst nightmare I mean what would I do if no one clicked on that stuff!

John Scalzi’s list of books that should be movies

January 29th, 2009

John Scalzi, who should have put one his books on that list I mean come on Old Man’s War would be a movie I’d go see!…anyway, has an article on the SciFi Scanner blog of books that would make good SciFi movies.  And his first pick Snow Crash.  I have to admit that I’m still surprised that someone has not tried this by now, but maybe this is to Mr. Stephenson’s credit that a horrible movie has not been released and that we can hold out hope that eventually (before all the stuff in the book comes into being hopefully!) a quality motion picture will come out of this.

BSFA list

Ran across this post on Interaction by Andy, and guess who is on the list for Best Novel, OK I’ll tell you Neal Stephenson.  He is in pretty good company but I am also slightly biased too.
