An Exhaustive Defense of Fanfiction

Deep thoughts are important, especially in these times. Sarah Z has such thoughts regularly. Let’s see if we can accommodate them here as well. This post is about fan fiction and the question of whether it is art. Have a look here:

Only the Fridge hears my Sighs

Fulmen Grancolline closed the fridge again. Another ice cream. The how many on this day? He had lost count. It didn’t matter. Everything didn’t matter. He was frustrated. Things didn’t go as planned. Poor Antonia. She had been quite busy by Yefimov. She hadn’t imagined it that way either. But what happened?

The anniversary day should be special. The old space station VERI’S BASTION should go into operation. again. There was a hyperspace radio relay on it. Through this radio relay the transmissions of the ASTROCOHORS CLUB were to be sent through the ether and distributed all over the world. Actually not a big deal. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience. In fact, the relay also worked with all the sub-divisions of the CLUB. Only with the transmissions, which went through the headquarters in Iceland, something went wrong. Antonia Bagliarotto, Yefimov’s assistant, was forced to transmit each and every one of these broadcasts by hand. This was not what they had imagined.

Fulmen had a suspicion. The shipments of the departments were processed via an external system. The system belonged to the CUYEL group. The relay also belonged to a corporation. With the troubling events taking place on Earth and in the solar system, the solar division of ASTROCOHORS had now begun to take over systems themselves. They even bought the land on which the various bases stood, such as the ATLANTIS. That guaranteed they were in control. Of course, the corporations didn’t like that. Fulmen suspected that automation via the relay was being slowed down on purpose in the hope that ASTROCOHORS would then continue to use the services of the corporations. But that shouldn’t be the case!
The corporations continued to siphon off profits that ASTROCOHORS made. The independence of the head office was bought at a high price. Fulmen hoped Antonia would persevere. These were bad times, ASTROCOHORS had to remain stable.
While he was pondering these dark thoughts, Fulmen had returned to his office from the kitchen. He also had work to do. Then he saw the text on the screen: “Warning, transmission from headquarters”.
Oh dear, he thought, Antonia is still working too.

DUNE (2021) Why it Worked and the Others Failed!

In my previous video about Dune, I outlined how this newest adaptation managed to succeed with critics, audiences and importantly at the box office where the previous versions didn’t. In this video, I’m getting stuck more into the actual movie and exploring how the creative decisions by the filmmakers resulted in the best Dune adaptation fans could have asked for.

First Rule of Dunning Kruger Club is…

We have to bring a certan sense for science back. The world is in bad shape for that. People who believe that the earth is flat or that the moon landing was faked (or both) are nails in the coffin of modern society. In this way it goes straight to the Middle Ages with superstitions. Let’s look at an example.

How DUNE (2021) Did the Impossible

The newest adaptation of Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve has finally hit cinemas – and HBO Max, but you should probably see it on the big screen – and against all the odds it has been a huge success, with Dune Part Two recently being green lit. While I will be releasing my thoughts on the movie – basically my review – later on, for this video I wanted to examine the marketing, box office trends and other factors which contributed to Dune becoming a hit when it seemed like such a difficult thing to pull off. After all if Dune can do it, maybe some other supposedly “unfilmable” projects can do it too.

EVERY James Bond Pre-Title Sequence RANKED

James Bond is a pop-cultural icon. Of course we have to take care of such things here as well. We have Calvin Dyson here, a big fan of the British agent. He looks at everything this franchise has to offer. Now that Daniel Craig will no longer play the agent, this marks a break in his story. Maybe we’ll come back to that here from time to time.

In this he takes a look at some of the most memorable action scenes in all of cinema but which is the best?
