@evan @enantiomer " In 1983, author Harlan Ellison was hired to write a screenplay for a film to be directed by Costa-Gavras for Universal Pictures. After the project went nowhere, Ellison published this screenplay, titled "None of the Above," including casting suggestions that had Martin Sheen as Jack Barron and Sigourney Weaver as Sara"

Fucking Ellison! Because of course!

I would love to get a copy of the screen play...

(Probably should have added #dontgetmestarted early on. I should have written a thesis on Spinrad.)

@evan @enantiomer I think I have almost all of Spinrad's books and most of the novellas.
This one hasn't aged well in some ways, but probably in my top 5 of his. It's a very uncomfortable read but a powerful story.

@evan @enantiomer "Spinrad had difficulty finding a publisher willing to print Bug Jack Barron as a book. Publisher Michael Moorcock printed the novel in installments in the magazine New Worlds. The newsstand company WHSmith refused to distribute one of the issues because of the installment of Spinrad's novel. The Arts Council of Great Britain, which subsidized New Worlds, put public pressure on WHSmith and forced the company to distribute the issue. This led to denunciations of Spinrad, The Arts Council, and New Worlds in the British Parliament.[" (From Wikipedia)

I just stumbled on David Tennant's too-short lived Podcasts "David Tennant does a Podcast with..."
It's brilliant fireside chats with folks like Olivia Coleman, Billie Piper, and Ian McKellen. Highly recommend. #Podcast #doctorwho #davidtennant

@evan I'm actually not surprised that I never noticed the abbreviation is in the wrong order!

@evan you don't get to pick your wedding theme, but I feel it's absolutely your call on the funeral.

@evan noted!

@evan @spraoi So you're asking if we're dead naming X when we call it Twitter?

Hot take.
Jordan is coming back for a third vote because he made some sort of deal. He'll make it by a vote or two.

Outside of MLIS programs, I don't think most people are aware of the
"The Five Laws of Library Science"

1. Books are for use.
2. Every person their book.
3. Every book its reader.
4. Save the time of the reader.
5. A library is a growing organism.

@evan doh! I forgot about making the front page of Slashdot circa 1999...
Too late to change my vote?

@evan uh, I just got caught up on a few things. Can I change my vote?
