I should probably do something about that.<br /><br />The questions you, and these works, pose here are profound ones. The world's a mess right now, to be sure. Are the answers within ourselves? Could we fix things if we simply understood ourselves better? The questions seem so simplistic and yet most people seemingly never consider them. They just consume, then whine when they can't have exactly what they want. Look where that's gotten us.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-33420833025076846542022-12-06T20:39:18.271-07:002022-12-06T20:39:18.271-07:00Thanks, Squid.

Over the past few days I've been in contact with Jerad Walters of Centipede Press, and he's expressed interest in featuring an article about Bill Edwards for the Weird Fiction Review. Beth and Sally, you're clearly the ones who could contribute most about Bill's work, though it seems some other people in this thread may have worked with him. If you would like to contact Jared, his email is jared@centipedepress.com. Personally I and probably many others here would love to see a tribute to Bill's talent. Thank you all for making his name known to me.<br />TNepenthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021941054084057279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-7726186167725531302022-02-27T10:28:38.433-07:002022-02-27T10:28:38.433-07:00Sally, I don't know if you will get this, but ...Sally, I don't know if you will get this, but this is Bill's daughter Beth (defythemachin3) - hello!!

When she turns the tables on her own rescuers in the original movie: "Somebody has to save our skins..." It's one of the most wonderful heroine establishing moments in all of cinema.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Rowling's creation. I think the original seven novels, and the films based upon them, will hold up just fine for succeeding generations. I'm not sold yet on the long-term success of the materials beyond that.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.com
