A podcast is certainly a possibility…

My search for the scary story has ended! Aaaaaand it’s sufficiently terrifying. I’m glad there are a few references that date it to mid-century; they provided a measure of psychological safety.

Speaking of unctuous, how about Deadwood mayor and hotel owner E.B. Farnum, played by Larry from Newhart? He and his two brothers Darryl were some favorites of yours, if I remember correctly.

Don’t Look Behind You by Frederic Brown in 1947 was in Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories Not for the Nervous.

I am just now watching Deadwood on HBO GO and thought you and Remy might discuss cable series from days gone by. And I read your fiction underwater scene, and although a little unctuous, I pretty much liked it. Try some fiction out on us.

Or tell us what movies you just can’t stop watching whenever they are on, even though you’ve seem them a hundred times, and tell us why. Mine would be Braveheart.

Geoffrey, glad you decided to start commenting more—excellent start! Thanks for all the ideas. I would love love love to try table top gaming. That’s something I have no experience with, either. Remy and I don’t live close enough to each other to do it together, so we’d have to work something out with that. There are definitely kernels of awesome in your comment that I think might lead somewhere. The gears are turning.

Trashcanman, the film on which Remy and I strongly disagree is the Holy Grail of Unreality. We have searched and searched, and we don’t even have the benefit of Sean Connery or Nazis on our tail.

Come on, you know there’s at least one film that you LOOOOVVVEEE that Remy thinks is garbage or vice versa. You don’t even count as friends until you find out what it is. That’s a hell of a list of resolutions. If you manage to accomplish even one of those bad boys, you’ll put to shame the legion of people resolving to do something dumb like losing weight and then going about it by eating more and doing less.

A fantastic set of resolutions – I’d love to get to a PAX or a Comicon, but the convention scene in the UK isn’t quite as strong as that in the US just yet!

I’d like to see you and Remy try new ‘geek style’ things and rate them for us readers. I’m a big gamer and starting to get into comics in a big way, and it would be good to see you perhaps pick up something new each week and let us know how it would be for beginners. For example I’m tempted by table top gaming, but don’t know where to start etc – having you guys have a shot at one and let us know would be great. You could expand it as much or as little as you wanted (gadgets through to lifestyles etc?).

Alternatively you could kick around ideas for comics or games/films of your own- get in other artists to flesh them out and see how they go each week?

Or a podcast version of Unreality!

My new years resolution is to comment more. So far so good!
