Election day in Georgia. Fuck all if we know what's going to happen. Our best guess is that the GOP blows it, but who knows? Polls had Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins in tight races, and both won easily. Ronna McDaniel and the RNC did do pretty good in November. We'll see what lessons they've learned and applied since. It'll be a mess, we think and will take a few weeks to sort out. Exit question, does it even matter and do we care?
Working on The Great Nuclear War of 1975 yesterday, we debated if we needed a new chapter showing a few places around the world during the first 48 hours of the war. We already do this for America in the prologue, where people see Air Force One in various places, Maryland, Key West, Colorado...Perhaps we should breakup those scenes with the international scenes? Haig in Europe, Thatcher being picked up by the RAF, etc etc. A then B. A then B. Hmmmm. Thoughts?
Mark Steyn reposted his old review of the sci-fi dystopian film/novel Children of Men. He's highly critical of the film adaptation of P.D. James' novel, and we largely agree with him. Still we enjoy the film on its own merits. The scenario presented is an original dystopian work, the best bit of world building since Soylent Green, itself a classic. Soylent Green is based on Harry Harrison's Make Room, Make Room. The book is actually better than the movie which has serious flaws. The plot is a boring police procedural and the 'scoops' are silly. But like CoM, the world of Soylent Green it is horrifying.
Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire are producing movies now. Here's the trailer for their first film. Ace seems optimistic. We we're wondering how Shapiro could pull this off, then we remembered he's an L.A. guy.* Surely an L.A. Jew knows where to get some entertainment startup capitol. This is what it takes. See also Vox Day's Arkhaven line of comics. The man has his own alternative media empire. When does he sleep?
*Not for long. He's moving the whole op to Tennessee.
