The Earth has lost its last great dictator

R.I.P. Milo O'Shea, a man with great eyebrows and a way with a rape piano. I saw him first as the owlish-eyed Friar Lawrence in Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet (1968), but I remember him most vividly from Barbarella. This is probably unsurprising on some level. I have never heard that the 1966 Ulysses is a great adaptation of the novel, but I still want to see it someday.

I do not want to requiescat Iain Banks while he's still making personal statements, but I don't like this one. I still need to read The Crow Road (1992).

handful_ofdust, have a 1985 interview with Peter Cushing. Starlog has just gone up at the Internet Archive.

He should read your fic I mean, that's a very reasonable point of reciprocity to make.

D'Oh! When what he meant was MIMICRY, obviously...;)

Actually, I just sketched out part of the Dracula/Van Helsing knock-down drag-out for "The Narrow Bed" Part Two, and that's definitely going to end up getting conjugal. Horribly damaging, but conjugal. The great part about vampire-on-vampire is you don't really have to worry, because whatever you do to each other, it'll pass
