Just in case someone missed it, Disney/Marvel put out a couple of movie trailers this week.

First, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which is due to release May 5, 2017:

The side with a beer volcano and a stripper factory, of course!

Onward Pastafarian soldiers!

For those who may not know, "Pastafarian" refers to those who claim to worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That is, they are atheists and formed their "religion" to mock Christianity and other religions which they consider to be for weak-minded or otherwise inferior people.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've been watching Dr Who all day.

I think my favorite was the one where he (Matt Smith) brought the WWII bomber pilot home to his family.

It was OK, I think the reason why I like the Dr Who specials is that they show people celebrating Christmas in the future and on different planets.

And they don't have any problem calling it Christmas.

Last year was kind of bittersweet because it was the last time he saw River Song.

My short stories are free again at Amazon . "Reward: Stolen Planet" among them.

Capaldi shines in the darker episodes, the writers should have focused on that more. The last couple of episodes were pretty great.
