@danielt_illborn Above all else, the First Law trilogy is guaranteed to make you hear the phrase "You've got to be realistic" very differently once you're done.
Walked out of a super popular movie today.
Lots of action, but not tied to any character stakes I cared about. It felt like a video game I was watching someone else play. I left because I was drifting off and starting to snore, and that's not considerate to the other movie-goers.
THE MATRIX was released 24 years ago today. One of the most iconic and groundbreaking movies of its generation, the making of story is a fascinating one.

@DanSlott Monkey & Blake 7… this explains a lot young master Slott. Between those shows and Dr Who, this must be why I love your books so much. Time for another Silver Surfer reread!
We moved to England when I was 13, and a weird world of international TV was open to me-- and shows like MONKEY! completely grabbed my imagination. Along with all kinds of bizarre British sci-fi shows like BLAKE'S 7.
I wonder if watching MONKEY! as an adult would ruin it for me.
It's 2:30 in the morning. Can't sleep. And am finding that the greatest injustice to ever occur in the history of man is that the 1978 TV show, MONKEY!, isn't streaming anywhere.
