Na Na Na

What a great song. What a great video.

I bought, read and enjoyed The Umbrella Academy (The Apocalypse Suite and Dallas). I was pleasantly surprised at how well written and inventive the stories are. Then Na Na Na comes along to show that Gerard Way has a wonderfully unique mind full of artistry.

Looking forward to Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

Onwards to Battery City.

October Country

It is a Ray Bradbury time of year. The seasons are changing. The cold of winter is peeping around the corner, teasing and tantilising with promises of chills to come.

I watched the film version of Something Wicked This Way Comes, which I had not seen before. Very good it was too. I had also re-read the book a couple of weeks prior to this.

Vampyr directed by Carl Dreyer is a very strange, but brilliant film. It also comes with a great commentary by Mr Del Toro; a favourite around these parts.

Babel-17 and Nova have been re-read. Samuel R Delany is a great, great writer. I have got Dhalgren awaiting on a large pile, with many other books.

The Stars My Destination is my next re-read.

The classics of SF are always worth re-reading.

Books are truly awesome.
