• The Box: A “Gift” You Should Leave Unopened

  
  Poptimal.com — Authority: 530
  Wow.  I’m sorry to say that I was very disappointed with The Box .  Why?  Because there was so much potential.  So many movies have the psychological, suspenseful underpinnings that would make for an excellent film, but something goes awry in the execution.  The Box intrigued me not only with its premise, ...

• Without Foundation

  
  File 770 — Authority: 136
  Dear Roland Emmerich: I admit I was a tad snarky in my post about your next project . I sounded as if your promise not to ruin Isaac Asimov’s Foundation was insincere. Sillier yet, I made it sound like a good idea for fans to try and hold you to it. When I was telling Willard Stone about this news item at ...

• To Asimov’s or not to Asimov’s?

  
  Ecstatic Days — Authority: 649
  A couple of weeks ago, Jeff took Asimov’s Magazine to task over on the Sofanauts podcast. So in thinking of writing a blog post as a guest here this month, I thought I’d write something in defence of Asimov’s, just to take a devil’s advocate role. I was going to write about how Asimov’s, being a Dell ...

• Asimov Estate Authorizing New I, Robot Books...

  
  Fantasy Cafe — Authority: 414
  ...and theyre already getting slammed : They should not be followed up and continued. Isaac Asimoc(sic) died forty years after they were first written. If he had wanted to follow them up, he would have. The author’s intentions need to be respected here. Ok, Ill agree theres logic to that. Im sure if Asimov had ...

• Review: Foundation series #1-4 by Isaac Asimov

  
  Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog — Authority: 130
  Note: There’ll probably be some spoilers in this post, as I’m reviewing four books in a series at once. If you’d like to play it safe, the review for the first book should be spoiler-free enough to read. Not sure about the others. Also, this’ll probably be a lengthy post. Stick with me, eh? An intro I’ve ...

  The Spanish Table in Berkeley — Authority: 99
  Way back last month I was telling you about the white wines of Portugal. My opinion was (and is) that Portuguese white wines “excite your palate, intrigue your intellect and awaken your sense of adventure for new flavors and experiences” . I also noted that Portuguese whites tend to be ridiculously affordable ...

  The Wine Curmudgeon — Authority: 125
  A couple of very odd wine articles this week, in which two of the most important wine writers in the United States take restaurants to task for not serving local wine: · The New York Times Eric Asimov writes that "Nobody goes out to dinner in the San Francisco Bay Area to eat food flown in from Europe." · Jon ...

• Local Food, Imported Wines

  
  Random Ramblings on Wine and Food — Authority: 106
  Eric Azimov has an interesting article in todays NY Times about locavore restaurants in California which also serve European wines. It would seem to be hypocritical, but in many ways I can understand why they do this. Truth be told, most, not all, CA wines dont go with food. But before you get your panties in a ...
