UGH. fantasy. I'll take starships with audible engines sailing between the stars in a matter of hours thanks

I went to the book store the other day and they had combined scifi into the loving fantasy section. I marched up to that hambeast at the desk and tried to explain to her the difference between the greats like asimov, clarke and stross and the NERDY HACKS like roland tolkein. bitch wasn't interested

tolkein was an absolute fucker for telling everyone way more than they'd ever need to know and 90% of lotr is completely inconsequential bullshit that could have been better spent on character development and not descibing how loving grey mordor is for 9 goddamn pages

counterpoint: tolkien was really loving good at world-building to give modern europe a myth cycle, yet sucked at writing that myth cycle himself

i didn't read the book but the part in one of the movies where they find a skeleton army in a mountain is so loving deus ex machina and it would have been better without it

the movie was really bad about showing that it was their last desperation move and they really had no idea if it was going to work or not

Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

just finished The Telling by Ursula Le Guin. it's the last book in the Hainish Cycle and really good. soft sci-fi, little action and a very brief lesbian sex scene.

i never read the books but the frodo character was terrible in the movies. he didn't do anything special and got by because of everyone else especially rudy. he was like a goon who got dropped into a fantasy world and continually proved he was a buster
