http://diluvium-ignis.livejournal.com/3684.html
Updated book per month list coming! I will be adding books to the book per month list very very soon. So soon. Since the Leibowitz sequel was so bad I really want to go to the library and flip through the options before I make a final decision. So.look for the new list after the weekend. And as always, suggestions are encouraged! I will have to check out these Sagan books. :]. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

May discussion - A Canticle for Leibowitz: diluvium_ignis
http://diluvium-ignis.livejournal.com/2820.html
May discussion - A Canticle for Leibowitz. It's about time to get this discussion revved up. Theocracy /lj will probably have a lot of input, since he's a religion scholar. Please fire out some questions or comments to get us started because it was a couple months ago that I read it. That's about it for now.I might add some more later after I flip through it again.

anime hour: diluvium_ignis
http://diluvium-ignis.livejournal.com/4295.html
A couple of weeks ago I watched Memories. An anime three-parter directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, who also directed Akira. Each of the stories have apocalyptic elements that I love, from 1984. Ish faceless combat in Cannon Fodder. And a wonderfully comedic presentation of an accident in biological weaponry in Stink Bomb. To a profound, black hole like, spacefaring, mindbending odyssey/ghost story in Magnetic Rose. That reminded me of the movie Event Horizon. Not kiddy, cutsey anime (well, maybe Cannon Fodder.

And because I refuse to allow this to be a stodgy, boring old community, take a look at THIS! This poor kid met his untimely end when his head got lodged in this Orobouros's.er, boa constrictor's.throat. Too bad it's probably not real but it's still fun to look at. If you just ate, though, I'd skip it. Http:/ www.blackbearheaven.com/snake/sn. Http:/ www.blackbearheaven.com/snake/sn. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post.

I intend to open up discussions about the "big three" dystopian masterpieces of the modern age a bit later, as they are intimately bound up with the subject of apocalypse. They will certainly be on the reading list. These are, of course:. Below is an excerpt from the coolest blog ever. This isn't a political community BUT it would be a shame to leave reality out of the subject of (impending! By Mike Malloy addresses some of the key ideas used by Karl Rove in the Bush speeches.

zombie movies/fiction: diluvium_ignis
http://diluvium-ignis.livejournal.com/1107.html
What do you think of the threat of zombies? Seriously, I would like to discuss the prevalence of zombies in apocalyptic scenarios. We all know where that comes from, right? Other than the obvious psychological explanations - the fear of death and the fear of losing one's humanity. What I really love about the zombie craze is that it is such an obvious criticism of man as his own worst enemy - he is his own death, disease, and decay. This is explored very well in the movie 28 Days Later,.

reading list: diluvium_ignis
http://diluvium-ignis.livejournal.com/561.html
This is how it will work: a book will be assigned to a month, and then it'll be discussed approximately one month later, although whoever finishes the book first or wants to begin the discussion can go ahead and make the first post. So for instance, A Canticle for Leibowitz. Here's the list for the next three months:. May '06- A Canticle for Leibowitz. By Walter Miller, Jr. June '06- Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman. So, like, go to the library. Or find an online library. Or give Amazon.
