@OleTimeHardball I know he's hardly a star, but Jhonkensy Noel as "Big Christmas " is perfect.

@45PedroMartinez I know it's recent, but last year's #Orioles walkoff after almost being no-hit. A bright moment in a terrible season.

@LefkowitzSyS @Hotshot_Movie I think what made PKD stories great are the ideas, the premises, the concept. You don't read it for the fine prose. Perfect fodder for adaptation.

When I was working on Sideways (which was adapted from a book), I asked the director, Alexander if the book were any good. "No it sucks. You don't adapt great books. You adapt shitty books that have an interesting premise, or a kernel of something that you can exploit and improve. Good books don't make good movies. You have to build a screenplay from the ground up. And nobody is gonna be mad at me for changing the details of a Rex Pickett novel. But God help you if you try to change 2 words in the Lord of the Rings." Brilliant dude.

As this mess deepens, it’s becoming increasingly clear to me that we’re all characters in The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, by Ursula K. Le Guin. If you haven’t read it, it will help you understand the context of your own life. Guaranteed.

Gormenghast is the greatest work of fiction you’ve never heard of. The story of a vast castle & the strange family who lives there, it reads like a collaboration between Tolkien & Dickens and features one of literature’s great baddies. A work of mad genius, abundant in pleasures

@Roto_Frank Last year I tried the "Franken-ace" strategy and it flopped. How can I make it work?

@dionjerrod Thanks! My idea was to retell the Titanic story as cosmic horror. It's a pretty weird novel, and I say that with pride.

Raymond Redstreet is imprisoned in an insane asylum for claiming that the Titanic was sunk by a black magic cult. With the help of his renegade psychiatrist, he must stop the cult from striking again. #Questpit #H #Q #S #DR

Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
