This book, The Works of Vermin by Hiron Ennes, was a challenging read for me. It reminded me some of Gideon the Ninth in style, meaning I got a bit lost and frustrated in parts but at the end loved the ride. I also love bugs the grosser the better so that was a slam ass dunk.

You just know the most popular Earth movie on Erid is Galaxy Quest. #ProjectHailMary

#ProjectHailMary better clean up at the Oscars

The book Yesteryear had a great twist ending I loved. Have heard Anne Hathaway has bought the film rights and will star in the film, gonna be hilarious.

God this made me laugh.

I loved the book, but the Project Hail Mary movie was an absolute 10/10. It is so rare to see the joy of science depicted in such a way.

Love the podcast this author, Caro Claire Burke, cohosts called Diabolical Lies and amused by the premise of her debut fiction book, #Yesteryear —modern trad wife ends up in the actual past she venerates.

The entire story of #DarkMatter summarized in this photo from season two: Protag explaining something to his justifiably skeptical wife.

The difference between Xavier and the Mailman is Xavier listened to his wife and trusted her judgement. #Paradise

Laughed hard at ending of #Paradise season two, Blucifer rules!

Okay so Jane is a scary Bene Gesserit #Paradise

Big fans of Prince of Darkness (1987) in my house but not fond of the bug slander.

The night people in FROM remind me a lot of titans in Attack on Titan. Same unnerving smile, same vicious violence. Still on season one and will be interested to see where goes. A demented version of Lost, I dig it.

Was a little concerned I have a covid mention in my first book (too soon?) but then just read Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel and am no longer concerned LOL. Great book, like the meta elements. Must have been very weird for her to experience the pandemic after writing Station Eleven.

I love that FROM season one just throws your ass in the middle of the insanity. Big fan of crazytown in medias res storylines, and will be using in future books.

About halfway through The Last Policeman (2012) by Ben H. White, is excellent. Has the hookiest of hooks: Why care about solving a murder when everyone is going to die in six months by asteroid.

AI is trained on our stories of AI and what do most AI do in our stories? www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

Finally watched In the Mouth of Madness, 10/10 for Lovecraft jokes.

Loved Predator Badlands, using the ecology of a hostile planet to your advantage . . . hmmm why does that sound familiar. LOL. Not a criticism, if writing fiction has taught me anything, it’s there‘s nothing new under the sun.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms A+ love that Egg n Dunk but I still don’t forgive #GOT season 8, I’m petty.

I love writing science fiction because what do you mean the Moon doesn’t yet have a time zone?

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. #QuestPit #A #H #MY #Q

Read Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix, excellent setting combining the horror of birth and the depersonalization of 70s America for teen moms, toss in witchcraft because why not, no one else is helping.

Thank you universe, I needed this badly www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Just preordered Ballad of the Bone Road by A.C. Wise, v interesting concept. I appreciated also as a pedantic plant ecologist and gardener the correct depiction of peonies on the cover, has a location called the “Peony Hotel” in the book. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790198...

Adrian Tchaikovsky is incredible, am devouring Shroud, another five star banger. As a writer he is the author I’m most jealous of.

I love really weird apocalypses, the two best I’ve read are in Tom Sweterlitsch’s The Gone World and QNTM’s There is No Anti-Memetics Division.

Carol is my spirit animal. #Pluribus

Discussing posts where people claim humanity isn’t stupid enough to make a virus from an unknown alien transmission—have you met humanity?

Saw this book, There is No Antimemetics Division, immediately grabbed by title. Thought, this sounds like the SCP Foundation, so look up author, they’ve written a bunch on there. About halfway though book—LOVE.

Explaining family sitch of Boromir/Faramir/Denethor to kid: “You know that thing narcissists do with the golden child/scapegoat dynamic? Yeah, that.”

Watching LOTR Two Towers with kid. At point where Sam and Sméagol are fighting about the rabbits Sam caught, kid quips: “This is a lot of being with your friend’s friend who just fucking sucks.”

The actor that serves the most in any/all media is Sam Reid as Lestat in Interview with a Vampire. I will not be taking questions at this time.

It just randomly occurred to me I was promised ice spiders big as hounds and didn’t get them. Curse you Game of Thrones crap Season 8.

Those older models were always a bit twitchy #AlienEarth

Forgot to toggle on the “hey they died” notification on your child synthetic didn’t you? Oopsies! #AlienEarth

“An invention no one wants” I guess the lore of the Snuggie did not survive the corporate wars of the future? That blanket with sleeves sold 5 million units Sir. #AlienEarth

It is a truth universally acknowledged in my house the greatest movie review of all time was for the 2012 movie Battleship. It reads as follows. Battleshit

I was very worried the makers of the #ProjectHailMary movie were going to change the ending that happens in the book, but after listening to their panel at Comic-Con I am not. They didn’t say that explicitly, but their approach to the adaptation makes me think they wouldn’t.

Watched Untamed on Netflix, mystery set in Yosemite National Park. Was V good and had more Sam Neill than Apple +’s Invasion *Spoiler* which killed his ass in 10 minutes after he gave a speech about his life’s purpose. LOL.

In a recent Hollywood Reporter article one of #ProjectHailMary ‘s directors summed up the story this way ““It answers the question, ‘If the universe depends on it, can adult men make friends?'” HAHAHAHA OMG

My kid said today “The most subversive thing a woman can be is gross,” referring to Power in Chainsaw Man. I’d say Vigga in The Devils also qualifies.

I’d describe V.E. Schwab’s Bury My Bones in the Midnight Soil as Interview With a Vampire x Bridgerton x The Hunger (awesome 80s Vamp movie). Entertaining escapist read and sometimes that’s what I want.

The part I liked most in R. F. Kuang’s the Poppy War is when Rin burns her uterus out. Relatable.

Saw #Superman was great. Finally a Lex Luthor that is not only a genius but also self aware.

TNG “Parallels” Season 7, Ep 11. Worf multiverse jumping episode. At start Worf expresses to Riker his concern that it’s his birthday. Gen Z kid comment: “What, they beat their ass on Klingon birthdays?”

Spoiler alert for Abercrombie’s #TheDevils . The high tower surprise is a surprise in a high tower. Har har har.
