Tell me I’m wrong.

Don’t all photos of George Orwell invariably make him look like a very polite man who is really eager for your approval?

A modest proposal for my sci-fi friends …

… if Donald Trump continues using secret police to pop up and snatch people off the streets, then please join me in referring to them as “the Morlocks.”

I’m kinda surprised we missed the opportunity the first time.

This is embarrassing. (I’m just bean honest.)

Please note — although the terrible pun in the headline is mine, the meme is not.  (Like every meme I share here, I found it on Facebook, and I am unaware of its original author.)

You guys hear the one about the Christian who conscientiously wore a mask every time he left his house?

He did not Covid his neighbor, he did not Covid his neighbor’s house, he did not Covid his neighbor’s wife, he did not Covid his neighbor’s manservants …

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but with a “winner.”

Please, try to see his Sydow things.

That crazy moment when you think you see a picture of YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE, but it’s really just a 1991 Max von Sydow.

I realized just last night that there are actually people walking around with the surname “Faust.”

I sooooo want a friend with that name so I can repeatedly ask them every weekend if they want to go bargain hunting with me.

We’d have a great deal of fun, is what I’m saying.

I’d challenge every opinion they express, on any subject — even the weather. When they got fed up, I’d wink and tell them I’m just playing devil’s advocate.

What a day it was for sci-fi 38 years ago today.

If you see an abundance of “The Thing” or “Blade Runner” posts today, it’s because both films opened in theaters 38 years ago today.

We … need a holiday or something. But “Thing/Blade Day” sounds too much like “Sling Blade Day.”

Anyway, both films resonate just fine in 2020 America. “The Thing” is predicated on paranoia about those around you. “Blade Runner” is technically about cruelty to illegal immigrants — and how “human” we all are depending on our reaction to that.

Hey … let’s not even get started on (the overrated) fan favorite “Tron,” also released in 1982. If you want to talk about a movie about a guy trapped in a virtual world and its parallels to the social media age, then I’m gonna need some more coffee.
