RIP Jane Goodall

From my future self in 6/9/26.

We got hit with a lot of celebrity deaths leading up to and after my mother's passing.

It was really a helluva beat-down.

So, Goodall was part of a triumvirate of soothing PBS good-guys along with Mister Rogers, and Bob Ross. 

And she was part of the popular science communicator triumvirate with Carl Sagan, and Jacques Cousteau.

We never get a new one of these kinds of people.

They're always irreplaceable.

Like Phil Donahue.

In the case of Donahue and Goodall, they took an irreplaceable institution with them.

Like 60 Minutes.

We're not gonna get another one of those.

Thanks, Bari Weiss. 😡

There are evil people in this world who delight and revel in the loss of these people and institutions.

I have a hard time considering people that cruel human.

I'm ashamed of my anger, and try to be like Rogers, Ross, and Goodall.

It's go damned hard without them here.

So hard. 😔😩 

New tag for 2025.

"Weird-fiction-verse" which covers this whole Poe/Machen/Lovecraft/King quest I've been on.

Lovecraft coined the term, and fan-authors still use it. Even saw an anthology called "Never Again: Weird Fiction Against Racism and Fascism" that came out in the 2010's.

Hmm, might grab that someday...

So, Ghostbusters...(Part 2)

Part 1.

So, Alien...(part 2)

Part 1.

Dammit, Disney, you pulled me back in.

The lost "Arthur Gordon Pym" sequels.

Or, Poe 2: Addendum.

I almost mentioned these in the "Poe-read-a-thon 2" post, but I was fried, and said "fuck it".

Then I've struggled back and forth whether to do a separate post for them.

Yeah, I wanna now.

Let's do it.

So, there are actually two more Arthur Pym sequels, but I don't have access to them.

They are as follows.

-Part 3.

A hybrid Bullmoose/B&N trip this time.

Finally acknowledging Section 31.

Ohhh, aaalll riiight!!

Okay, so here's the deal.

This came out in January, and life shit was going on, so I didn't even wanna deal with it.

Then I forgot it. 

Then, in May, my computer died, and I had 80% of my shit backed up, but that last 20% had some important shit in there.

I "borrowed" my Ma's desktop computer she couldn't use any more, and hadn't in years, and did the brain/soul transplant.

Not knowing Ma had 2 months to live, and the loan would be a permanent inheritance.

So, just yesterday, I finally got an adapter kit to get into my old harddrive with USB and get my last 20% back. And in there was my "future blogs to do" list. And in that was "acknowledge Section 31".

I was like "oh, shit, yeah!".

Totally skipped my mind. A bunch of little old (and more important) memories like that came back to me through that transfer.

So, this thing has a category, and a tag, and everything, so may as well close off the tag, and finish it off.

RIP Graham Greene

From my future self in 6/8/26.

Like I said in the Terence Stamp one, I had too much grief over my mother to do any of these.

I can tackle them now. 

Shit, the only thing of his I ever reviewed was "The Green Mile".

I've seen him in a million other things, especially "Dances With Wolves" but I never reviewed that here either.

Well, I'll do a quickie now. It's visually beautiful, everyone performs their everloving guts out, and its heart is in the right place.

But, I don't love it.

It's not a movie I would choose to watch even once a year, much less every week. If it is that movie for you, bless your heart. Enjoy. I won't pee on your parade.

Now, my mother, she had a big dripping bleeding heart for the plight of the American natives, and I do too, but unlike me, she lapped up stuff like "Dances.." so she got all excited when she saw Graham in anything else.

She was the fangirl.

I do this memorial for more for her.

RIP, Graham Greene. You seemed like a cool guy.
