Comments on Norwescon Saturday: Report Two
That woman looks like she ate Rogue.
Dr. Doom is in the rooooooom.
I'm enjoying these reports, Paul - thanks!
I was hooked on that Dickens novels after Simmons read the first chapter, too.
@1:
Perhaps, to be generous, we may assume she accidentally absorbed some of The Blob's super powers?
And I'm sorry, but the idea that Victor Von Doom, despotic ruler of Latveria, super-villain of super-villains, and one of the most EVIL mo' fo's ever - would deign to wear a freaking participant pass or whatever that is around his neck is just so - WRONG!
Jebuz, fella, at least toss it behind your cape for the photo ops...
I give Doom props just for being Doom instead of some lame crap like Johnny O' Shinyjumpers over there.
So Paul did you have to ask her to turn to her right? Or did you just take 20 shots and delete all the ones where the cameltoe was too hideous to bear?
I'm thinking the one with the veil was both snaggle- and buck-toothed. No?
Simmons is an amazing writer. You should definitely read Hyperion.
To argue that Tolkien didn't want his work published is a bit misleading, because the man hardly wanted ANYTHING he wrote published. He could have easily spent his years writing and rewriting and never publishing. That's what he did.
His pen had to be wrestled from his hand in order to get pages to editors.
Not to say the man doesn't have a valid point, but I don't think Tolkien is the best example for the person in the audience or for the panelist to use here.
Dan Simmons is a colossal douchebag, actually.
You can't go past "Song of Kali" and one of the most under rated books of all time "Phases of Gravity"... if you can, read them today.
Douchebag or not, Simmons is an amazing author, and I'm bummed I couldn't make it to Norwescon this year to hear him. I got a huge kick out of the Hyperion cycle (Hyperion/Fall of Hyperion/Endymion/Rise of Endymion) and the scifi-meets-Shakespeare-meets-the Odyssey mashup of Ilium and Olympos. Definitely worth reading!
