    Who’s Ready for Black Elves in Middle Earth?

    1,480 words

    Tolkien world experienced two huge events this month.

    Amazon announced last week the diverse cast for its new Lord of the Rings series. Shortly thereafter, Christopher Tolkien, J. R. R. Tolkien’s editor and the guardian of his father’s legacy, died. (Hopefully, there was no connection between the events.) (more…)

    Ben Novak’s Hitler & Abductive Logic

    Ben Novak
    Hitler and Abductive Logic: The Strategy of a Tyrant
    Lanham, Md.: Lexington Books, 2014

    “Search your feelings. You know it to be true.”

    Ben Novak’s Hitler and Abductive Logic is one of the most exciting academic books I have ever read, a daring and imaginative synthesis of philosophy, history, biography, and literature. (more…)

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    3,115 words

    In memory of Raven.

    Even I didn’t expect Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to be this bad. It is simply a terrible movie: derivative, incoherent, arbitrary, superficial, and deeply boring and uninvolving—despite, or maybe because of, the frenetic action sequences, dazzling duels, and effects so special they’ll leave carbon scoring on your eyeballs.

    The Mandalorian

    1,271 words

    “Help us, Dave Filoni. You’re our only hope.”

    On December 20th, J. J. “Death Star” Abrams and Disney Corp. will complete the destruction of the Star Wars saga that many of us have loved since childhood, while raking in untold millions by cynically exploiting nostalgia for the mythos they are desecrating. So pass the popcorn, because I’ll be right there, dear readers, to review it for you. (more…)

    I had a bad feeling about this.

    It wasn’t just Solo‘s cursed production history: the original directors were sacked near the end of shooting, and Ron Howard was brought in to finish the movie, reshooting 70 percent of it. (more…)

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    1,707 words

    If only! This film can be called entertaining, but certainly not “good.” Most of the time I was holding my hands out in laughing disbelief at the shockingly vulgar, transparent, and trite antics of the producers in this naked cash grab.  (more…)

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    2,188 words

    The Last Jedi isn’t an awful film. Not Force Awakens awful. But it is pretty bad. Down there at the bottom of the scrap heap, with The Force Awakens and The Phantom Menace. The question on my mind was whether The Force Awakens was just a Phantom Menace moment, a rocky start to a trilogy that redeemed itself with two pretty good films. (Yes, I like Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Fight me.) But no, it was not to be. It was not hard, of course, for The Last Jedi to improve upon The Force Awakens. (more…)

    Rogue One is quite simply one of the best Star Wars movies ever. It has an interesting plot, a tight script, good pacing, uniformly good acting, excellent special effects, amazing sets, spectacular new worlds, and dazzling battle scenes. I really loved this movie.  (more…)

    Der neue „Star Wars“-Film ist genau das, was ich mir darunter aufgrund der Vorschauen und der Tatsache vorgestellt hatte, daß J. J. Abrams der Regisseur war, ein so vulgärer und kunstloser Filmemacher, daß er Jerry Bruckheimer wie Ingmar Bergman aussehen läßt. (more…)

    Archäofuturistische Fiktion 
    Frank Herberts Dune

    DuneFirstEditionEnglish original here

    Wenn Science-Fiction typischerweise „progressiv“ und Fantasy-Literatur „rückwärtsgewandt“ ist, dann brauchen wir eine dritte Kategorie für die sechs Dune-Bücher von Frank Herbert (1920-1986) – gar nicht zu reden von George Lucas’ sechs Star Wars-Filmen –, die futuristische Sci-Fi-Elemente mit den archaischen Werten und magischen Welten der Fantasy verbinden.

    Archeofuturist Fiction 
    Frank Herbert’s Dune

    German translation here, Greek translation here

    If science fiction is quintessentially “progressive” and fantasy literature is “reactionary,” then we need a third category for the six Dune books by Frank Herbert (1920–1986)—not to mention George Lucas’ six Star Wars movies—which combine futuristic, sci-fi elements with the archaic values and magical universes of fantasy.
