Movie Reviews with BBT Critic Jef Taylor

 

Two men, one a scientist and the other a greedy sexist dolt, volunteer to be the first humans cryogenically frozen–for three years. Wouldn’t you know it, something goes wrong and they are brought back to life 53 years later, after war has changed everything and women (gasp) rule the planet. Freed from male oppression, they are able to pursue genetics and archaeology, the only remaining sciences. They can also take their tops off and roller-skate in hallways with impunity.

Wickedly Yours: Fingers, Hands, and a Strawberry Man

Necon and a Jar of Flies

So much to share with you, and so little time. I was going to tell you about my extraordinary weekend at Necon, The Northeastern Writers’ Conference in Bristol, Rhode Island, but alas, as the cliche goes, "What happens at Necon stays at Necon." Suffice to say, I slept too little, laughed my arse off (if only that were literal), spent quality time with the best in the business, and can’t wait to go back next year. Just look at that line-up, kids…and they’re already half-sold-out for next year!

Now, to the Jar. My friend, Jack Kincaid, is doing a wickedly interesting writing project over at MySpace, JAR OF FLIES, which apparently, although unrelated to the story, it’s also the name of an album by Alice in Chains (I’m old and sadly uninformed). The talented and mysterious, Mr. Kincaid, is offering some of his fine work for the small pittance of a mouse click. It’s compelling stuff. He got me with the wild visual of the four-fingered man in our opening pic, and the excellent video trailer - HERE.

Jack’s just getting started with the first installments of the epic, so stop by and have a gander - JAR OF FLIES - Opener and Episode One.

NOTE: At the time of this writing, the links to Jar of Flies is glitching at MySpace. Hopefully, Tom and the MySpace minions will have the problem sorted out by the time you’re ready to visit. If not, please come back for another click. I’m sure it will be back in order…eventually. Argh…

Mr. Hands

Last week, I reported on the upcoming horror goodness of MR. HANDS over at, Yada, Too, but it deserves another mention here.
