Month: August 2012

question of the day: Why have the works of Isaac Asimov had such a singularly bad record of getting turned into movies?

Tue, Aug 28, 2012

I’d venture to guess that Asimov’s name is synonymous with science fiction even among the general public who don’t read. It seems like a no-brainer for Hollywood to glom on to Asimov’s reputation to pre-sell films. So why hasn’t it?

Of course not. Hobbit houses have round doors, not square.

It’s nice to see that Arnie has landed on his feet now that that political thing didn’t work out.

question of the weekend: Do you like to drive?

Sat, Aug 25, 2012
no comments yet

If I have to drive, it’s a pain in the ass. I would hate to have to drive to commute to a job, for instance. And driving in big cities is pointless and exhausting. But an open country road? Bring it on.

In Soho. I like to imagine that feet have been trodding this path for two thousand years.
