Apparently the film "Inception" was inspired or some might say a blatant ripoff of the paprika anime.

Cant wait for the anime and book review!!❤. Man have you ever read "Ultra Heaven" manga? You can only read online. Summary: In a world where all feeling is artificial and where everyone is a potential drug addict, nothing has really changed: the excess is near at hand and very few substances are considered dangerous and put under a strict control by a hygiene office, which has full power on the drug addicts, who are in extreme conditions. kunmanga.to/manga/ultra-heaven-ojmq4o

This is incredible. I live in New Hampshire and have never been to the southwest. Chris, your music is great. Have you heard of the Dungeon Synth scene that popped up some years ago? This fits right in that genre. I can go more into detail about it is anyone would like.

I got taken to Tintagel and found myself stomping the ground wondering if the cave was beneath my feet! WOW. (Must have read the Merlin books as a kid?)

This series of books is insane! So well written!

The music reminded me of Philip Glass; slow, but unstoppable. Visually it was magnificent, but I did keep expecting to see Jabba's palace come into view around one of the hills.

Reminds me a bit of early Klaus Schulze except the chord changes aren't every 15min. VERY COOL!

I've been to this place and its so amazing, fairly different than the adjoining landscape as well. How did you get all this footage without hoards of people in it? Love the video, cheers.

Another channel I follow recently just started a series on Dante's Inferno and all I can think about is Peter Murphy chanting, "Abandon all Hope, ye Who enter Here."

Thank you!

Sweet jam

Picked up a Daw today - John Brunner’s The Productions Of Time (#150) What a cover! And I agree about Andre Norton. She is everywhere! I was at a Goodwill book shop, and they must’ve had at least 25 of his novels, so I decided to try. Now I have Star Born, Crossroads Of Time, and Dark Piper.

Before going book shopping: Take photos of your collection with your phone, they're very high res and you can zoom in and check whether you have a certain book or not...so you don't rebuy it. 😊

I love travel hauls. I'm with you, i pick up anything from Wolfe. I mix up Ian Wallace and Ian Watson sometimes, the one i just read was from Watson, The Embedding. Excited for your video tomorrow, I've been to the Petrified Forest and agree its very alien-like, Goblin Valley in Utah is another one that blows my mind.

Wow, what a haul!

Glad you had a great time vacationing! Nice to have you back. Looking at those Wheel of Time books, I think that's why I never got into them. They look dauntingly long, lol. Are those like 2000 pages each? Great pickups though. Nice Daws too. I finally have Lictor and Autarch coming in so I can finish that series. The Anything Box by Zenna Henderson has arrived here for me to dig into, but in the meantime I'm completely immersed in Deathbird Stories by Harlan Ellison(Bluejay Edition). What a great read! The Remembrance of Earth's Past was on supersale on Amazon, so I snagged that set. Thanks to Netflix.

Book of the new sun videos would be awesome

Great review. And great channel. Happy I found you.

Just reread Something Wicked! Shear dark poetry! Bradbury is magnificent! Martian Chronicles too!

I thought this was a fun story. "Here I am". Yea, that was one bad uncle. I can't recall why they didn't get rid of him sooner.

Love Bradbury, especially his short stories.

Got exactly to 8:43 aaand now im reading it. Thanks for the recommendation

Its neat seeing you show that copy of Amazing with an earlier vresion of what would become The Dream Master. I have an issue of Amazing (or maybe Analog?) that has the first chapter of a book called Dune World by some guy named Herbert.

The Revolutionary was such a haunting concept. I've forgotten much of the rest of the book, but that sticks with me.

Criterion Collection was this beacon of light and high standards when I discovered them in he late 90's. I love Gilliam. Time Bandits is a top 10 of all time. Scary as all get out . . . .Returnnnn the MMMMap. Criterion as of late has started editing movies and removing questionable scenes which to me is garbage and sadly part of the woke agenda

I didn't expect your digression on artists' ownership rights but it was certainly entertaining :)

Love Terry Gilliam! As I told your brother in his last video, the entire Dreamers Trilogy (Time Bandits, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen) is fantastic. I think, of the three, Munchausen may be my favorite, though mainly because it was the first Gilliam film I ever saw (at around age 16). It just completely captured me and it made me a lifelong fan. His films always have such phenomenal casts and that one is no different. The late Robin Williams as king of the moon was just brilliant. Recently picked up The Man of La Mancha, which I recommend if you haven't seen it yet. Yes, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is another fave. Terry Gilliam and Hunter S. Thompson... two great tastes that taste great together. Fisher King was the second Gilliam film I saw; it came out right about the time I graduated high school, and again, Robin Williams... ~chef's kiss~ The thing I've always loved most about that film though is how it just randomly breaks out into a musical number right in the middle (in an airport, I think?), complete with Busby Berkeley-level choreography. That definitely shows his Monty Python roots, like the musical numbers from The Meaning of Life. Yeah, I don't have Apple+ so I won't be able to watch this series, but I get the impression I won't be missing much anyway. I assume you'll let us know if it's any good.

I don't know why they'd make a series out of this other than being completely out of original IP. Seriously, it's becoming laughable. That's what happens when you get risk-averse, money-hungry accountants running studios.

I love this film, first time I saw it I was a kid on hols with my family and they had cable in the resort so I'd never have seen this otherwise until years later (Ireland in the 80's lol), this and Brazil I think are Gilliam's most perfectly-realised films imo.

This is one of my favourite films ever. I am worried about the TV series but I'll watch it. I hope it's better than the Official Trailer.

Thank you so much for this excellent much needed deep dive! It would be wonderful to watch another from you, this time on "For A Breath I Tarry" which is a much shorter Zelazny piece, but also built upon the theme exploring all that we're losing about our human selves, as our technology gets more and more advanced! Thanks again for all your research and spot on takes!

I was underwhelmed by 'The Ice People'. Cool premise and ideas but a let down of a conclusion. The Demolished Man is awesome! I think you'd enjoy it.

Truly does sound like one of those gems you randomly come across that reminds you why you love SF so much.

inception is garbage. it makes no gd sense but even without that its just boring AF. 100% agree not as bad as others that get praise like dues ex or annihlation. Or the Dune movies which dont HAHA even mention eugenics or call him the Kwizatz Haderach got some little twink playing a conqueror who excells in hand to hand combat lol. we know how he got the job inthe bathroom of a nightclub. Lynch's was much better at least he got alot of it right. They were like "are we gona throw out tatooine yet. No wait we can recyle it ONE more time" scumbags thier job is to take beauty and make it ugly. to vandalize art.

Dune was my favorite until book of the new sun. your missing out so much. If you love Dune you also gotta try Hyperion series especially the first 2 books. My favortie Dune book is either 4-5-6 prolly 4. Is any other Herbert worth reading? i always assumed he put all his best stuff into dune. Brian Herbert was ok with House Atriedes prequels but after that he just stopped giving a hell. by the time he finished the dune series it was like i was readin a YA novel

IT is NOT a fantsy book man ur frustrating it is 100% sci fi. id have to spoil EVERything to prove my point tho. Please my friend this is THE BEST series ever written im reading for a second time. and you need to keep reading while it is all fresh. Ill tell you one thing youll learn the citadel, these old cathedrals are ancient rusty spaceships. there is no fantasy here just a man with a 16th century understanding trying to describe tech we can barley imagine that becomes clearer and clearer as it proceeds. U NEED to jum on right away or you will forget important points. Bro u gotta just knock it all out I PROMISE you. everyone smart enuf (its no easy read) should be required by law to read this series ahaha

There is great podcast that covers this all in depth called alzalpo soup. i recommend highly to all fans of Gene and new sun series

its not shadow, shadow or Nightside is the worst of the 5 book series/ Then you also have long sun 4 books, and short sun 3 books. Why are you taling about it like this reeeehhhhhhh got me sperging. By the time u get to book 3 it is the best shit ever written its prolly even better than Dune at least for the fact that he finished. it exposes GOT for utter literary toilet paper it is. so if you only read book 1 get on 2 id say its much better than 1, 3-4 are twice as good. jeez 4 is like mind blowing for real absolutely mind blowing. There is great podcast that covers this all in depth called alzalpo soup.

👿🔱😈.. Ive been trying to finish this book series since the 90s.. My friend read it and said i had to check it out..i thought the cover was cool so i gave it a chance.. I was thinking it would be a medeival story about a torturer.. Nope..a future world with make believe Concepts and words that the reader is supposed to understand what the author is saying and trying to convey... the author wants you to piece together his Little Riddles so you can figure out what the book is about and whats going on.. sadly this is a lot of the older Science Fiction and Fantasy Books that I've read from the past especially the 60s and 70s books.. 2 overly abstract in complicated for the reader... the author assumes that the reader will know what they are thinking or the author is being a dick and just making it hard for the reader to understand.. I wouldn't recommend it as a good read you'll probably end up like I did the same to yourself what the f is this about and what's going on

Attempted the audiobook dozens of times on RUclips. There’s something bout falling asleep to first person narratives that I really struggle with altho every other aspect of the novel is right up my alley. The opening description of the necropolis n its tombs n mausoleum are really great. I just struggle with first person story telling when I’m tryin to fall asleep Think I’m gonna try it one more time tonight n then I think il try n get a paperback n read it myself.

Sounds like they were riffing on Kirk's trial in Undiscovered Country. I always loved that film because it illuminates the line between ignorant prejudice and hatred born from personal trauma. And even though some fans didn't like that, I appreciate that nuance especially considering Kirk's outright prejudice against Klingons in TOS.

Shadow of the Torturer is _supposed_ to be thoroughly disorienting on its own. You really have to read all the books to becoming truly oriented, and even then, it's not all immediately apparent. This series is DEEP. Book of the New Sun is a truly great work that requires study to fully ingest and appreciate. Those mysteries for which you desire resolution? They only multiply. It's only after it's all done and you have time to think about it, and maybe read what others have said about it, that answers start to emerge. For instance, the building that the Torturer's Guild occupies (the Matachin Tower)...did you know that it's a defunct space ship? The clues are all these, but the book never _tells_ you that, because Severian doesn't know that. And no, it doesn't eventually become a plot point. It's just a thing that's there, a clue to the hidden layers of the series and the world it creates. Wolfe invents new words in these books which are constructed from the roots of much older words, and this itself mirrors the world he has created, while at the same time disconnecting the reader from their familiar reality. I agree with your friends who consider this to be their favorite work of all time (including the entire cycle). It's one of those things that grows within you through contemplation.

I knew what this book was, immediately, from the title of this video.

Excellent video. Please keep going. It is worth it. TBOTNS I first read when released when in my teens. Blew me away. And when you re read it... WOW ! It is one of my favorite ever book series. I keenly await your review of Claw. :)

The whole series is great, read it when it first came out...

Thank you for saying Sadako's name correctly. I've watched other reviewers, and they pronounced her name like Sue-dah-ko, even after watching the Japanese version where the pronunciation can be heard.

By sheer chance, I just found it on ebay for 3 dollars.

Also, Daniel’s channel is wonderful. I watch for his Lafferty content and then some. I am enjoying your channel as well and look forward to exploring your videos on non-Lafferty topics as well. Thanks for your videos.
