You Need To Watch Dynamo Dream
The first episode of Dynamo came out yesterday and it had not really been on my radar. I saw footage of CGI being worked on for this, but I didn’t know it was for this title. There’s a scene where the main character walks onto a lift and is brought down a few levels which had been all over my Youtube quite some time ago, so you may recognize that scene as well.
Little did I know that it was f

| This felt quite refreshing. A mythological tale of a world from a Raven perspective, weaving in folk lore and traits about ravens, and how they came to be. All with an epic scale story with philosophy and history of humanity, and each section of the ...more | |

"edit - I can't stop thinking about this book, so gotta bump it to 5 stars.
This book has a weird and beautiful melancholy to it that’s so hard to put into words. Henderson’s expertly juggling themes of grief, depression, rejection, longing and accepta" Read more of this review » |

Anthony's status update
Anthony
is 75% done with The Left Hand of Darkness: I’m finding myself slowing down a bit as I near the end of this masterpiece, mostly because I’m wanting to savor and immerse myself in one of the most surprisingly magnificent sequences of writing I’ve ever encountered in any novel: the depiction of two people on a harrowing, lonely trek across hundreds of miles of ice.

| This was still fairly interesting, and even managed to include a trans story that I expected to be handled pretty poorly mostly due to when it was written, but ended up fairly well. It continues to be much more prescriptive than the movie, but manage ...more | |

| The movie is one of my favourite (somewhat) hidden scifi gem, so I thought I’d give this a go. Interestingly, much like Contact, for me, the movie is superior; mostly because the movies increase the subjective elements and add scenes for character wo ...more | |

“The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

“And so Ikne walked away from his idyll and got a job sharpshooting for the Perambuco guerrillas in Salvador. It wasn't an easy life, and one day he got shot in the stomach by a lead bullet. The bullet fell in love with him, of course, but she couldn't stop the slow bleed of his gastric cavity into his pancreas, and she felt terrible, which was too bad, since he'd known all along what would happen.
He died; he always said he would.
Someone had to take out the bullet.”

“Balot was gripped by the Doctor's words, not even nodding now. Choice--right. She felt the two words spinning around like hands on a clock, then snapping into position together. A magic moment. Magic that would transport Balot to a different place. In the interior workings of choice and right a number of complicated cogs spun together. The doctor was one of those cogs.”

“Anger didn't do it justice. It was rage and hurt and grief and something hot enough, brutal enough to melt a man's conscience. Whatever damage I was fighting, he knew his own demons and saw them when he looked at me.
I'd never felt so close to him as I did in that moment.
And I never wanted to beat his head against the table so much.”
