coalescentThere's a great interview with Neal Stephenson here, including that story about that time he fought William Gibson.
Please let this rumour (Keith Richards to play Captain Jack Sparrow's Dad) be true. Elsewhere, the film rights to Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell have been sold.
Films can be just as much Art as books, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is brilliant. I hope we can all agree on these two things.
Old news that I missed: there's a contents list up for the Clarke Award Critical Collection, hopefully due in time for the next Worldcon. Looks good.
Gordon van Gelder gives his opinion of the new Interzone.
There's an interesting, and probably at least partly true, theory about why fantasy is currently more popular than sf at criminal english.
I watched part one of The Peacekeeper Wars last night; it was great. I'd forgotten how good the Farscape writers were at getting away with daft situations by having smart characters. Favourite line of the evening: "this is your universe ... this is your universe on wormholes." Hopefully part two will be waiting for me when I get home this evening.
Oh, I've put the final (or at least current ) results of good or bad are up. We now know conclusively that liquorice covered in salt is bad. Some may say we did not need a poll to tell us this. I say it's always good to have evidence.
