From this week's story on Strange Horizons, lol:

"You wanted a wig, you said." I pulled it from the canvas shopping bag, unfolding it carefully and smoothing out the strands.

"My favorite color. Will you put it on me?" I untied the scarf and fit the sea-green animé cut over her skull. I let my hand rest on her shoulder, and she leaned against it, eyes closed. "I love you," she whispered, quiet as a conversation in the terminal room.

I'm sick of Hollywood's fascination with fantasy films.  They pretty much never do a good job with 'em.

Also, I'm sick of women not sucking my cock.

Beowulf is supposedly amazing but it just looks like a cut-scene from a Final Fantasy game to me...and not even one of the recent FFs, but something like FFIX.

What's the odds of Thomas Covenent being remade, wherein the protagonist rapes a young girl within the first 30 pages of the book?

Think the people who brought us Eragon might do it?
