  • The Wiseline Institute imagines the (surprisingly Stephen Baldwin-heavy) Creation Science Fiction Channel fall lineup<\/a>:<\/li>\n

    With the schedule set, King plans to go on vacation until the end of the season. “There won’t be any changes, since CreSyFy has a rule against things evolving,” King explained.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

  • “The thing I dream is this: That some night, a hundred nights, a hundred years from now, there will be a boy on Mars reading late at night with a flashlight under the covers. And he’ll look out on the Martian landscape, which will be bleak and rocky and red and not very romantic. But when he turns out the light and lies with a copy of my book, I hope, The Martian Chronicles<\/em>, the Martian winds outside will stir, and the ghosts that are in my book will rouse up, and my creatures\u00e2\u20ac\u201deven though they never lived\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwill be on Mars.” – Ray Bradbury<\/li>\n

    Evolution of The Martian Chronicles<\/em> cover<\/a>. I think the 1950 (original?) cover is my favorite, although a battered copy of the 1984 version is what I own. Though I’d love a copy of the new one<\/a>. [via<\/a>] <\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

  • So…first Pride and Prejudice and Zombies<\/em>, then Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters<\/em>, and now Wuthering Bites<\/em><\/a>. I guess it’s officially a trend now. With this, and the Twilight<\/em> connection<\/a>, I have to wonder: has Emily Bront\u00c3\u00ab ever been this popular before?<\/li>\n

  • Speaking (sort of) of popular vampires, I have to say I think I prefer True Blood<\/em> as a sitcom<\/a> to the alternative. I guess you almost have to admire its willingness to be flat-out batshit crazy, but I lost interest after the first couple of episodes.<\/li>\n

  • And finally, with today being Support Our Zines Day<\/a>, I found this questions<\/a> — is it a bad thing that small presses are usually built around one individual? — worth considering. Kaleidotrope<\/a>, after all, is a one-man operation…<\/li>\n
