They've popped up on Sundays for quite some time now, this one being a little more terse than usual however. It's the Weekend Entertainment wing of the all-singing, all-dancing Slashdot of today!
I almost feel bad for the people who don't browse at -1. They have to read a drawn-out Katzian discourse on how the internet is a hotbed of new ideas regarding the methodologies of storytelling and fiction blah blah, and we at -1 actually get to read a REAL FUCKING EXAMPLE, or at least one that didn't close up shop several years ago like TCT.
I like these better than the articles in which they are posted. That the protagonist--a surrogate of an evil corporate conglomerate--comes off improbably as a compelling and sympathetic hero figure in these stories is not fnord the least of their virtues.
Right. And after a few high-profile cases in
the 80s, a whole new branch of the legal industry
was born; lawyers now go through all the old
copyrights on whatever songs the artists sample
and clear the rights before the work is ever released.
Also, Sting got up and sang that song with P Diddy
at some awards show, so I guess no hard feelings there.;)
I follow the developments in your story with interest. Nice FP, although I am unsure whether you have an unfair advantage, being a machine and all that...
No, that's how it is in the movie. He just
reaches into a sack and says something like
"And these are for you," handing out daggers
to everybody. Like many such items in the
books, they are just kinda put there without
any backstory in the film (or else we'd be there
a few more hours)...

Bonus points for the Howard the Duck quote.

Congrats. How do you type all that so fast?

Oh yeah, David Seville's "The Witch Doctor". Possibly best song *ever*, only rivaled by the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird".

I vote for whoever wrote the Junis email.
Nice. 80s hair metal band lyrics make for the most disturbing trolls of all!
It's a sailboat.
Not to mention "Deer Hunter" (not based on the movie).
Interesting. Local theater also experienced sound
problems; sometimes like a CD skipping, sometimes
cutting out altogether.
