Silly me: when the Nautilus show disappeared from the Amazon lineup, I was the impression that sanity had prevailed. Surely, I thought, somebody over there noticed what a galloping disaster this was going to be. And how bad was it, really? This bad:
And Amazon did notice! …So they sold it to AMC, which nobody really watches anyway. Which is one way to minimize the damage.
Don’t watch this. Just be aware that it’s gonna drop, and if God is merciful it will then promptly start a popular entertainment version of the Iran-Iraq War.
I’m waiting for them to put him in Sikh garb but make him devoutly Muslim – there’s always room for some more cultural insensitivity.
Oh, man, that would be like a double-sided lightsaber of offensiveness.
It’s been a while since I read 20000 Leagues Under the Sea all the way through. I honestly have no idea what race Nemo is. I tried reading it to my kids, but the unabridged version spends like 60% of its word count on describing the wildlife they pass and hunt.
I Will not present myself as an expert on publishing history, but as an avid consumer of printed material, I can state that the first author I am aware of having an editor is harper lee.
I know they existed prior to her, and several (Jack Campbell of course) are famous in their own right, but I put magazine editors in a different category than book editors, fairly or unfairly as you see fit.
So, anyone know anything about this? Who was the first book ‘editor’ as we view it today?
