I have been suffering eye strain headaches so the posting here might be a little sporadic this week. So here are just some random thoughts.

• The Netflix movie Stowaway is not good science and not engaging fiction. Just streaming something else.
• Game of Death, a horror movie about seven young adults playing a boardgame that compels them to kill people or die themselves, is even worse and I did not finish it. More than 10 percent of the movie’s running time is wasted up front and watching the characters party but without performing any establishment of character development.
• The GOP doesn’t care if you die. Remember that in the voting booth.
• 20 years on The Wire is still spectacularly good television.
• WorldCon this year has been moved to December and I have no intent of experiencing Washington DC in winter. This makes me sad.
