I just finished watching THE FANTASTIC JOURNEY series she was story editor for. 1 2 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

LadyCrimson Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I remember Rene best from Benson. I thought he was the funniest thing ever in that show, at the time, the way he straight-man bounced off Robert Guillaume. His DS9 chr. was one of the things I liked about that show. “Things are as they are.

injurai Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Syd Mead, 86 Easily the greatest Sci-fi artist of all time, and probably forever more. Now the vision of the future is so diluted, over-shared, crowded. Never again will their be such a stark authoritative vision of the future brushed into the zeitgeist. http://sydmead.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Wasn't a huge Rush person, outside of those few earlyish hits, but another one of those "my childhood past is dying" reminders.

Agiel Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 "Neil! Play the Drum Solo of Life!" Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Christopher Tolkien, who managed to posthumously compile, edit and publish much of his father's Middle-Earth work, passed at the ripe age of 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Of the JRR-Christopher books, I only ever read Hurin, which was pretty messed up but decent. Never was the biggest Tolkien prose fan, but nevertheless RIP. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
