The Sword and Laser discussion

Dune! Dune looks so good! Yay Dune! Save us! Help us escape! Actually, we’re pretty good on that front as Ten Thousand Doors of January is helping us all escape. And we’re also pretty bulllish on the team putting together a TV adaptation of Three-Body problem for Netflix. EVERYTHING IS GREAT!

The other movie Tom was trying to remember that was similar to Armageddon was Deep Impact

Maybe Dune should be the next laser read. Oh yeah you did that.

We could read National Lampoon's Doon

Yep. That was one of the earlier picks. I was on semi-long term work travel when we were reading it. I remember trying both audiobook and Kindle and not being able to get into either. I believe that was one of my first Lems. Interestingly (to me anyway), I was in Vernon, NJ, the site of (Tr)Action Park, which is now the subject of an HBO Max documentary, Class Action Park. Memories...

Three-Body No Problem. Is that like the porn version?

Or the Japanese Kabuki version, Three-Body Noh Problem.

“His.”

Re: Dune - I’m optimistic about the movie, I’m just bored by the Generic Blockbuster Trailer formula, which doesn’t do the movie any favors.

Tassie you beat me to the punch! I'm in Utah and don't have good internet connection, lol. OK, podcast should be OFFICIALLY published now!

One Punch Tassie.

Maybe Three Body Problemo will be like The Wandering Earth movie? That was based on a Liu Cixin novella, same author. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TDII...

That movie is utterly bonkers. Even more so than 3bodprob.

I'm hoping Three-Body Problem will be better than The Wandering Earth.

TWE was ok as an action packed popcorn flick, but I want more from TTBP. It is deeper and has a lot more thought provoking material.

There are some great action set pieces as well

All these, I thought it was "Bury your sword" as in, this feedback is really going to hurt.

Not to doubt your doubting, but Nancy Springer gets a writer credit on the Enola Holmes IMDB page ... :)

Michael J Sullivan's beta read for Nolyn is underway, but he mentioned in his latest update you can still apply for Beta and Gamma reading future opportunities.

(9/13 update in his 'review' linked below).

Springer is also promoting it on her website: https://www.nancyspringer.com/

IMDB isn’t always accurate, though, because anyone can add things, just like a wiki. For instance, for years it listed Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson) as a sister to Angela Cartwright (The Sound of Music, Lost in Space), but they aren’t related at all. That’s why I always doublecheck with other sources.

Man I've never read anything by Michael J Sullivan's. Missed my chance.

i made the show twice what a treat!!!

you guys are right TTDoJ is a treat for bibliophiles. all i have to say to Alix E Harrow is Pander to me baby!
