Chuck Tingle is the hero the Hugo awards need!
From BOING BOING
For the second year in a row, a bunch of disgruntled "conservative" sf readers and writers are attempting to destroy science fiction's Hugo Awards by nominating slates of works that are, variously: rabid racist tracts; works by their ideological opponents; tepid military sf; works by bystanders; and weird porn by Chuck Tingle, a master of the form, who has nothing to do with any of this...
For the second year in a row, a bunch of disgruntled "conservative" sf readers and writers are attempting to destroy science fiction's Hugo Awards by nominating slates of works that are, variously: rabid racist tracts; works by their ideological opponents; tepid military sf; works by bystanders; and weird porn by Chuck Tingle, a master of the form, who has nothing to do with any of this...
Until now. When Tingle -- who publishes "bizarre niche erotica" in great volume -- discovered that his book Space Raptor Butt Invasion had been promoted to the Hugo ballot by spoilers hoping to discredit the award, he sprang into action. He created a new title, especially aimed at the "Puppies" (the two groups who want to kill the Hugos call themselves "Rabid Puppies" and "Sad Puppies" for fantastically tedious reasons you can look up for yourself if you care to): "Slammed In The Butt By My Hugo Award Nomination."
The crowning glory of Tingle's campaign, though, was his announcement that his Hugo Award, should he win it, would be accepted by Zoe Quinn, the reigning bogeywoman of the Gamergate/neoreactionary right. In other words: every time a "Puppy" casts a vote for Tingle's work, they cast a vote for giving Zoe Quinn a podium from which to address the entire World Science Fiction Convention about the importance of diversity and representation in fiction...
Shine on Mr. Tingle- you crazy butt slamming diamond!

J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot are restoring PHANTASM! That's awesome!
From BLEEDING COOL
Phantasm is a special movie. It rests at the axis of cheesy and sublime. It is one of the few films to actually work as dream logic and yet remain compelling. It also gave us one of the great horror heroes in the form of Reggie Bannister. It’s available on DVD, as are its sequels, but a Blu-ray release has never been announced.
But now, Ain’t It Cool News reports the film is getting a 4K restoration thanks to J.J. Abrams‘s production company Bad Robot. Abrams cited the film as his inspiration for naming Gwendoline Christie‘s Star Wars character Phasma; the armor she wears reminded him of the strange spheres used in Phantasm...

This scene from this episode of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER rocked 6 year old Al Bruno III's world!
When I was just a lad, long before I discovered DOCTOR WHO, this show, this one season wonder made me into the horror geek I am today.
And this episode The Spanish Moss Murders stuck in my head for years after KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER had been canceled in favor of more boring shows.
And here is the electrifying ending...

HOLY COW!!! The RPG.net Rants/Binder of Shame stories are 10 years old!
Ten years!
The first of the 'Rants' THE TEAM THAT COULDN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT was first posted on 3/21/2002!
I wrote it because I was at work, I was bored and a little depressed over my ever growing pile of rejection slips.
I remember posting it and then thinking to myself "I'll never do something like this again."
But I did do it again... twenty four times by the time I realized it was time to stop.
Ten years and folks are still reading and laughing over these stories these strange and somewhat true stories. I honestly can't wrap my head around it sometimes. You guys have kept these tales alive, repeating them, reposting them, linking to them, TV troping them, turning them into radio plays and gosh knows what else.
For a long time I felt like a failed writer but you guys and gals - whoever and wherever you are - helped me get through that. Maybe I won't be the next Clive Barker, Stephen King or Snooki but I told my stories and you heard.
I will always be grateful.
And for those of you that don't know what the Hell I am talking about here they are...
