Evil Dead 4: Dead by Doc Ock

I saw Spider-Man 2 Friday evening. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Funny, emotional, thrilling, finely acted—great fun. The best, most exciting scene in the film, though, hands-down more visceral, throat-grabbing, and slickly directed and edited than any other, looked and felt as if it had been dropped in

"They Know No Depths"

Joe Conason's column in Salon today is very much worth reading, recounting as it does the nasty, nasty way the Bush campaign slagged John McCain—now apparently a Koolaid-sipping Bush stooge—back in the 2000 Republican primaries. Too many juicy bits to recount them all, but here&

I'm Just Sayin'

I stopped by Borders on the way to Petco, and I can now confirm that The Year's Best Science Fiction: Twenty-first Annual Collection is out and available in stores. I would never suggest that you buy a $20 book for the sake of a four-page story
