- Two worthwhile posts from The Art Department today: one on multiple cover designs for The Mothman Prophecies and one with a quick interview with artist David Palumbo.
- Rick Kleffel of Agony Column podcast-interviews Dan Simmons.
- The recent post at “Garden of Nna Mmay” blog (name origin, please) titled In Defence of Science Fiction should not be confused with The BBC Action Network’s In Defence of Science Fiction, or Salon’s 1999 John Clute article In defense of science fiction, or our own post Science Fiction vs. Fantasy: Speaking for the Defense. Got it, Mr. Fancy Pants?
- A Chewbacca impersonator was arrested in L.A. after being accused of head-butting a Hollywood tour guide.
- The Phat Tree lists The 11 Least Intimidating Movie Villains. [via Cinematical]
- The seventh Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will not be available in e-Book format.

“A Chewbacca impersonator was arrested in L.A. after being accused of head-butting a Hollywood tour guide.”
The tour guide should have known better than to beat a wookie at chess.
Someone must have forgotten the ‘Let the Wookie win” maxim.
Great article on In Defense of Sci Fi…actually yours and hers were very enjoyable.
Mr. Fancy Pants looks to be a new addiction for me, thanks for the link!
Ah, we haven’t had the old “SF is about what it means to be human” dragged out in a while.
I’ve been human for well over 40 years. I think I get the point. I don’t need my SF to remind me.
Are you telling me my article title isn’t original? I’m shocked, simply shocked.
Thanks for the link–and the blog name (garden of nna mmoy) is from an Ursula le Guin story.
Ah! Thanks for the backstory, Andrea.
