Todays post is brought to you by me supposed to be writing an essay. I’ll finish it in the morning, meanwhile here is some stuff:
First up Cyberpunkcafe brings you Cyberpigs:
Article which discusses the sexual advances and pornographic comments that barrage women who enter live chat rooms. When Mother Jones stepped out onto the electronic superhighway, so did a few cyberpigs. Sex and the Cybergirl
My essay is on personal ideas and issues present in the films of Tim Burton:
Q. What kind of personal chord did the material strike in you?
Tim Burton: I think it’s several themes and issues. You run it through your own personal mill. I was fascinated by the weird perverted optimism because it’s something that I started out with and has somewhat eroded, and (Ed Wood) kind of reenergized me. I liked the theme of duality in somebody’s nature: like in Batman, the idea of hiding what you have inside. And perception, how you perceive somebody-I’m interested in that theme. Also the relationship with Bela Lugosi - I romanticized it from what I read, but I related that to how I felt about Vincent Price. More of TB on Ed Wood
Always save the best till last: Greetings, pilgrim. I am Garth Marenghi, sculptor of nightmares. I hope you are sitting un-comfortably at your pc / laptop. Congrats: you have unearthed the official website of my imaginata. As many of my readership can attest, I invented the internet back in 1976 with my short story ‘Mindgrid’. Many of my predictions, alas, have since borne sorry fruit, and I, too, have spent many troubled hours distracted by erotica. Vist Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place (and I don’t mean his bumhole)
