Dune: Part 1 is a long movie covering only part of an even longer book, with a ton of history behind it, and I am writing this without having read the book. In 2025. And, frankly, there’s so much baggage here that I am not equipped to talk about. You can tell it’s not a story written in the modern day.
Well, “Joy to the World” gave me a little more Doctor Who, but now I must wait, yet again. The new season won’t be starting for a while now—and all I’ll have is the trailers. Or, in this case, a teaser trailer. Which, as far as I can tell, just means it’s way shorter.
Hello, dear reader. This is a story about power. Howard has a lot of it now, and his experiences with it are strange and intense.
Too strange—and too intense, in fact.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was not a movie I was expecting to exist. I only have vague recollections of the movie where we first met our evil penguin antagonist. But Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget returned, so why not this?
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is inescapably a nostalgia grab of a movie, relying on people like me and our fond memories of the original film. If it weren’t for that history, I’m not sure it would’ve been that big of a deal for there to be a new kid’s movie about chickens attempting to escape being eaten.
This is a story about the end of the world, and of lying. One is more obvious than the other. Sometimes, a lack of information can be its own sort of lie. A hidden truth, told in half-truths.
I always look forward to the newest Doctor Who Christmas special—and this episode, “Joy to the World” was no exception. It has already been too long since that last episode. Already too long since I got to see some adventure with the Doctor.
Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!
To finish out this year, we have one more story. One more tale. And, because this is Sci-Fi Bloggers, it only seems fitting to make this one a science fiction story. But it’s being told in a slightly different way than you might expect.
I went into Crypt of the Moon Spider not knowing two important things about it. The first is that it’s not a monster story, not really. It’s a medical horror book tinged with cosmic horror elements.
It’s been a little while since our last horror tale, has it not? Something brutal, spooky, or nightmarish hasn’t graced our Friday Fiction section since (arguably) we found out what a “reverse werewolf” curse was.
Well, that changes with this short tale entitled “Chalk Drawings of Monsters.”
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
It’s become a bit of a tradition around here for Brandon Scott to write a Christmas tale. And this year, he’s been hard at work making sure it’s another good one.
I said in my recent Foundations article that elves were really strong—and I proved my statement. I got Mythic with a standard white-green elves list. And, since it is the holidays, I figured it only made sense to pass on the gift of a strong deck.
