Turns out WHOOPS APOCALYPSE (TV 1982/Movie 1986) wasn't nearly ludicrous enough to keep up with reality.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

Does not include Quasqueton (from B1 "In Search of the Unknown"), I'm sorry to say, but this looks amazing despite that APPALLING oversight (it does have "The Tomb of Horrors" and "Castle Ravenloft," whatever those are, plus 11 others).

Excited about the Evil Corp IPO to fund their paradigm-changing Planet Destroyer tech. It's currently losing them a fortune, but once it's up and running, it'll either go wrong and blow up the Earth, or go right and Evil Corp. can blackmail us with threats of blowing up the Earth. Win/win!

Been working my way through Jan Švankmajer's short films. One that has particularly stayed with me is the quietly chilling Buñuelian allegory The Garden (1968), probably his most overtly political work. A man is invited to a country estate with a perimeter fence made of silent human 'volunteers'...

People forming a daisy chain around a grand country estate. The short is a biting Kafkaesque critique of totalitarian conformity and collectivism. It mirrors the stifling mediocrity, absolute submission, and absurd normalisation of oppression under Czechoslovakian communism.

Mixed feelings about my ATOMFALL novel. Delighted that it's out, less so that it was published four months ago and I only found out today. That aside, I think I did good work with this and, considering its less than barnstorming release, It's got nice reviews. ATOMFALL: THE SECRETS OF WINDSCALE

Cover of ATOMFALL: THE SECRETS OF WINDSCALE, showing the protagonist, journalist Jenny Coggins, regarding the Windscale plant in the distance. Blue energy emanates up from the ruined plant, and lighting strikes down from an angry cloud above.
