Herb Mallette: July 2016
http://herbmallette.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 8, 2016. It is far past time for people of conscience to stand up. Not against another people, not against a group or organization, not against any other human being - but against an idea. The idea of "us versus them.". It's an attractive idea with insidious allure and horrific staying power. But it's the wrong idea. There is no "them." There is only an us. And we need to convince ourselves and our fellows that every one of us is. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Sharp Edge of Memory. Simple ...

Herb Mallette: Not What I Expected
http://herbmallette.blogspot.com/2015/04/not-what-i-expected.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. Not What I Expected. I tried to give the album several more shots, then wrote it off as the work of a thoroughly indistinctive band that happened to exceed their capabilities for a single, lucky song. Because I'm a pack rat, the CD stayed on the shelf or in a box through four or five moves. I think I tried to sell it to CD Exchange once and they didn't want it. And darned if it's not a pretty good album! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Sharp Edge of Memory.

Herb Mallette: March 2015
http://herbmallette.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 23, 2015. I Have Not Been Selected! But thanks anyway to everyone who nominated my book in the Kindle Scout program. I still think it's a cool program, but I guess I'm just destined to do a little more legwork. I should be able to get Charms and Witches self-published in the Kindle store and in hardcopy form on Amazon in a week or two. It basically had to be ready to go for ebook publication in order to be submitted to Kindle Scout, so I just have to format the paperback version. Makes me w...

Herb Mallette: December 2015
http://herbmallette.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2015. More Than You Could Imagine. I was driving home from Plano, mulling over these complaints that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is just a retread of the original 1977 movie. So I decided to make a mental list of all the things in the movie that we've never seen before in any Star Wars film. Because I'm nerdy like that. Anyway, here it is. Please correct me if you can think of a single example of any of these things in the first six films. 1) a rolling ball droid. 21) the interior ...

Herb Mallette: Beyond Expectations
http://herbmallette.blogspot.com/2016/08/beyond-expectations.html
Tuesday, August 9, 2016. When I heard Simon Pegg would be writing the third of the reboot Star Trek films, I was cautiously optimistic. Optimistic because, well, Simon Pegg. Cautiously because . um . Paramount. I got a really strong impression that Into Darkness. Was initially written with the villain not. Being Khan, and that the studio had him shoe-horned in for completely cynical reasons. So even considering Simon Pegg to be a genius, I wasn't sure he'd be allowed by the suits to work real magic.

Sunday, July 20, 2014. My Report on Europa Report. Spoiler Alert: there are relatively minor spoilers throughout this review. Toward the end, I'll identify a major spoiler section that gives away almost the entire movie, so don't read past that point if you don't want the ending ruined.). I first read about "Europa Report" on Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy blog. I put it on my list of things to check out . even though he didn't really do his traditional good-and-bad dissection of it. Or is she just a sensiti...
