Comment of the Day: Blasphemy!

James Nicoll:

I hear when Christ returns, he will be bearing a copy of [Duke Nukem Forever] in one hand and a copy of Final Dangerous Visions in the other.

He’s wrong of course, it’ll be Last Dangerous Visions. Also:

The Bible with a creator’s commentary track would be interesting.

“OK, what you have to understand about this next section is that I gave Moses a map, a compass and a set of directions, all of which he managed to leave on his dresser back in Egypt. Then he blamed Me because he wouldn’t admit he was lost for the next forty years.”

Both quotes coming from a typically freewheeling conversation sparked by Neil Gaiman’s somewhat overwrought’s George R.R. Martin is not your bitch post. Fanboy entitlement can be scary, but the view of the writer as artiste dishing out goods to the grateful plebs from on high isn’t nice either.
