TILDA SWINTON in CONSTANTINE and 3000 YEARS OF LONGING
I probably saw her in something else previous, like Broken Flowers, with Bill Murray, but I first really noticed Tilda Swinton in the fan-spurned movie Constantine (2005), with Keanu Reeves, where she played the angel Gabriel. I really noticed her in the non-genre movie Michael Clayton (2007), with George Clooney and Tom Wilkinson, where her performance was so good—her climactic scene, where her character almost literally dissolved emotionally, was so powerful that she won an Academy Award.
REVIEW – SAMARITAN (minor spoilers) - Amazing Stories
As I write this, it’s Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, and Queen Elizabeth II has just died within the hour, after 70 years on the throne. My family lived in England at the time of her accession to the throne, and I still have my Coronation Mug (a souvenir all three of us got) somewhere.

MOVIE REVIEW —MALIGNANT (2021) (Major Spoiler Section) - Amazing Stories
Figure 1 – Malignant Poster IMDB précis says “Madison is paralyzed by shocking visions of grisly murders, and her torment worsens as she discovers that these waking dreams are in fact terrifying realities.” Which is true as far as it goes, but there’s a lot more to this film than that. Unfortunately, I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, because it ends up a B-movie slasher when it could have been so much more.
Anime roundup 8/12/2021: You Can't Even Quit the Game
Sonny Boy #4 – Word travels fast around the class about Nagara’s ability, and so everyone expects that he can simply take them home. He can’t, as it turns out, but what he can do is pop some of them momentarily into a dimension where other primates take up baseball and develop their own storied league. Aside from demonstrating that Japan really, really, really likes baseball, this episode does give us our first glimpse into Nagara’s worldview.

Alternate Israels: Five Historical Proposals for a Jewish Homeland
From our perspective it would appear quite logical for the nation of Israel to be located where it is today, in the disputed region of Palestine. The region has links to Jewish culture, history and religion, but that was not always important for Zionists seeking a Jewish homeland. Here are five possible Jewish homelands from history: 1. Uganda/Kenya In 1903 the British government offered territory in British East Africa to act as a homeland from Jews fleeing Russian pogroms.
MIND MELD: The Secret Sauce of Alternate History
[Do you have an idea for a future Mind Meld? Let us know!] Alternate History is fantastic. Authors take an event that actually happened, and then go crazy with it. Steampunk, supernatural creatures and myths come to life, wars that ended differently or in some cases never even happened. Alternate history is where we explore what never was but could have been. With that in mind, I asked our panelists the following question: Q: What makes for good alternate history?
