Wouldn't a book called The Dragon Lords be pretty niche to begin with? It's a pretty lucrative niche, though...

Wondering how to get electricity after the apocalypse? Just hook this one up to a generator!

The Dragon Lords, world's first 'cloud-sourced' novel, prepares to land | Books | guardian.co.uk Author writes book via Google Docs, with 13 000 readers commenting, editing and suggesting changes in real time. Clever marketing ploy or revolutionary new step in publishing?

Some guy named Ron Hubbard (no, really) is selling luxury bunkers to survive the apocalypse in style. In California, because where else. Why wait until then? Start feeling it right now and beat the rush.

My thoughts exactly. I like my apocalypses approved by the US government.

That's an interesting speculation, but of course the fact is that if the Earth was moving away from the sun that quickly, then the world really would be ending pretty soon - not to mention that our calendar wouldn't work either. Fortunately it's not. The difference is because the Mayans...

Chinese man plans to survive the apocalypse thanks to his huge balls

I didn't know there are bestselling Batman novels. Cool. Have to say I've never seen one on bestseller lists or in bookshops, but I'm sure they exist. I thought you came here to self-promote? If you were to improve your marketing skills, do you not think that would promote good (or at least...

Ah, that brings back memories of watching the debate on IMDB before the movie came out, and how some people thought this would basically be the sequel to Titanic, with Kate and Leo in a sweet story about the power of true lurrrv. Tee hee. Good movie. Absolutely fantastic book.

But of course, if that's what they both want. I wonder if the OP would consider that the right or the wrong message, though.

That's how I understood his statement that he was afraid women might get the "wrong message" that "entering a casual relationship which may or may not include BDSM will end with them getting married and will be perfect". Apologies if I misunderstood. At any rate, I think it's a massively...

A few recent movies: Argo. In which Ben Affleck casts himself as the enlightened clever hero who uses film to save the world. Not quite as Great White Hunter-ish as you might fear from a movie about Americans outwitting people with dark mustaches and weird languages, though the tendencies are...

So your big issue with the "message" in this book is that women you just want to have rough sex with might take it as a sign of commitment? I have to say that's one complaint against this book I haven't heard before.

Having seen The Hobbit, yes, there's definitely such a thing as an overlong movie. This might have made a brilliant 3-hour movie, or even a fun 6-hour one, but as the first third of a 9-hour movie... I really don't know how you can add so much padding to a movie and still have it feel stressed...

Thank you. :) Just for further service and clarification, then, I'd just point out that a) I can't recommend this highly enough for fans of cheesy horror comedy, faults and all, and b) in case that was unclear, I was of course referring to the Nobel for physics. What with everyone involved...

I had to watch this, what with it being free and all. OK, so it'd be a shame to call this a good movie. Because it's really not. Acting, direction, camera, script, special effects, it's all strictly amateur hour - nowhere near as bad as, say, Birdemic: Shock And Terror, but still, it's pretty...

:D The Bat Country Word, From an interview on Arpanet in 1976 with Jim Henson, Ayn Rand, Yoko Ono and (painter) Sidney Nolan. In which Jim compares Ayn unfavorably to Oscar the Grouch

IIRC, there was one 3-hour cut and one 6-hour cut that never actually made it past the workprint phase, so they were never actually finished movies. Lynch originally cut it to 3 hours, which the studio thought was too long, so they ordered him to cut it down to 2 hours. That's the theatrical...

That's a good point. I own a... lot of horror movies, and off the top of my head I can only come up with a handful that are over 2 hours, and even fewer that are well over that, and most of those predate the "modern" horror movie - Dawn Of The Dead, The Shining, Rosemary's Baby, the extended cut...

From what I've seen, most people who know the publisher in question are sure that he's being 100% serious.
