That sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure if I've seen it. I'll
keep an eye out for it.

I was able to watch "9" last night, and it was excellent! Thanks for
all who recommended it, I'm really glad y'all spoke up. Very cool movie.

For years and years, I was in a medieval recreation group. I keep
seeing people in Vikings that lok like people from the group. This
Athelstan is very different from the Athelstan I knew for so long.

You're right about Lagertha, she's pretty cool. And very scary.

I had a dream about vikings last night. Jo and I were vikings and we
were involved in a raid on a village. We captured some circus ponies.

I didn't say we were effective vikings.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll wait until I finish season 1 before
delving in.

Vikings is awesome! There are, of course, issues with the historic
timeline, but ignore that and you'll be fine. Lagertha is the best. So
it Athelstan.

Crap, I had a dream about Vikings last night--the show, not Vikings in
general. You just reminded me. But I know this is because I fell asleep
to the show Barbarians and it was in fact the Vikings episode.

I discovered AFTER the end of season 2 that one of my authors has been
doing recaps on her blog (because the editor never told me!). I haven't
read the recaps (except a few of her comments on the season 2
finale--she had the same reaction to a throwaway line that I
did--timeline issue). It's www.patriciabracewell.com

Instead of watching "9", I ended up watching "Battle of Los Angeles".
Oog. Now there was an awful movie. Almost worth watching because of
how bad it was.

This movie taught me that when an alien invasion force arrives and
it's invincible to bullets that I should instead use a katana. I
also learned that aliens use futhark runes for their alphabet.

This movie, starring Dylan Vox (who I hadn't heard of either), isn't
to be confused with "Battle Los Angeles". IMDB gives BoLA 1.9 stars,
which is generous and it gives BLA 5.8 stars.


On the positive side of viewing, I just finished season 1 of "Homeland"
and just started season 1 of "Vikings".

I started to watch "9" today. I got 15 minutes in and stopped. I wanted
to keep going, but I knew Jo would want to see it too, so I made the supreme
sacrifice and stopped until she was available to watch it. It does look
quite good though.

In the realm of seeing connections that don't exist, I was amused that
Elijah Wood did the voice of #9.

It's the pseudo-3D-like-ish animation I hate. "Brave" was very good, except
for the 3Dishness of it. (Also I hate that all the people had pumpkins
instead of heads.) Same thing for "How to Train Your Dragon" -- good story,
excellent backgrounds, fake-3D is stinkers.

I wanted to see "Up", I wanted to see "Monster House", I wanted to see a
pile of other animated movies, but the animation style was really painful.

Ah, but Bugs Bunny, "Treasure Planet", "Hercules", "Little Mermaid",
"Hunchback"... Now *that's* great animation!

After only a short bit of the film, it looks like "9" also has excellent
animation.

> Buy hey...obviously everything doesn't appeal to everyone.

Yup, that's true. In my encroaching old age, I'll retreat into crotchety-
ness and harrumph around that when it comes to animation I'm right and
everyone else is wrong and it stinks that I lost the animation wars.

Then again, if they're burlap... thingies... and not people, then maybe
it'll be okay.

Thanks for the additional recommendation. I'll be giving it a try,
probably this weekend.

That's two recommendations for, so maybe I should watch it after all.
Jo will be off being productive this weekend, perhaps I'll watch then.

Not enough umlauts or diereses.

I think the burlap is the saving grace. Burlap is a good, honest fabric;
how could a rag doll turn bad if it's made of burlap?

Hmmm..... Real recommendation or share-the-scorched-eyeballs recommendation?

Was the original Goth? I remember it being fae, but not Goth.

Great movie.

The original short film is also cool stuff.

Cheers,

My dvr has suggested a movie for me called "9". Here's the description
it has for this:

In a post-apocalyptic world, a sentient rag doll convinces its
comrades that they must take the offensive against the machines
that threaten to destroy them.

I am afraid to actually watch this movie. I don't want my eyes to melt.

I was glad to be sort of useful; I know some magazines and collections are available in libraries.
Too bad her short fiction has not been collected.

Cool, thanks! I didn't know about isfdb.org, but it's great useful resource.

It looks like Hood's work is scattered around a bunch of magazines, but not
collected anywhere. I guess that explains why I couldn't find anything by
her. Ah well, I've got "Food Chain Fandango" with the Dark Chocolate
Macadamia Nut Mousse Cake, and I'll be happy with it.

Martha A. Hood, to be specific.

Years and year ago, I read an excellent short story by Martha A. Hood.
It was called "Food Chain Fandango". That's the only thing I've seen
that she's written. Does anyone know if she's written anything else
or if she's still writing?

Thanks,
Wayne
