We spend too much time hiding illness. There is an assumption that I must always look the same. I hope to look better than I look now. But I’m not going to miss my festival.
Good for him.

Publishers Weekly interviews Warren Ellis:
PWCW: Many of the scenes in CLV [Crooked Little Vein] feature sexually explicit subject matter, including scrotal infusion and Godzilla porn. Were there any attempts by your publisher to censor or tone down the more provocative content?
WE: Absolutely none. Honestly, I think they wanted more sex. You know book people. They are all quite prodigious perverts.

We’ll return to our regularly scheduled lack of content soon enough, don’t you worry.
I feel about Spider-Man 3 basically the same way I felt about X-Men 3: it’s not a terrible movie, and there are things to like about it, but man, compared to the first two, that was sort of lousy.
Whereas Hot Fuzz, which I saw last week, was pretty terrific. And I was almost surprised by how cool the next Harry Potter movie looks.
