Charles Grodin (born on this day) absolutely wrecked De Niro in Midnight Run. At one point, he needles him so relentlessly that De Niro cracks, breaks for a split-second, looks right at camera, and mutters: “pain in the ass this guy is.”
Grodin waits a beat… then hits him again.

Simmons’ rant against greta t, his ‘Muslims are the bad guys’ nonsense in Olympos, raging xenophobia in Flashback. He was a dick in his later years, wrote bad sex a lot, but his skills with sf wonder, big ideas, elemental horror were always present.

[Peter Haynes @PHaynesWriter]

Also true

[the merry wörm @zenyanna]

my dan simmons memory is amc effectively nuked his blog in the lead-up to the terror so all his absolutely unhinged and hateful racist, islamophobic ranting was memory-holed.

R.I.P.

[Peter Haynes @PHaynesWriter]

Simmons became troublesome to like over the last few years and much of his later writing is tainted (and some his earlier stuff too tbh) but Hyperion was a core read for me and his short fiction (particularly The Great Lover) was an inspiration. Fires of Eden, Crook Factory too.

My dear friend & incomparable author Dan Simmons died Saturday from a stroke at age 77. He defied literary norms, exploring historical fiction, horror, crime & other genres. His must-read titles include THE SONG OF KALI & HYPERION. He was one of a kind.

truly the most honest rejection ever sent.

When I started freelancing,I got a huge amount of work through X. I very much doubt it works like that anymore.

However, I'm open to writing commissions, corporate content creation or editorial strategy finessing.
