What did you watch this weekend, ONTD?
ONTD Original: Anthologies & Short Story Collections
Want something to read, but don't feel like committing to a novel? I know that feeling all too well! A collection of short stories may be the cure to your reading slump. If anything, you may discover a new favorite author. Here are 6 collections (basically all mystery, dark, sci-fi, and horror - sorry to the people who aren't into that!) to help get you started:
Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology
Sisters of the Revolution gathers a highly curated selection of feminist speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror and more) chosen by one of the most respected editorial teams in speculative literature today, the award-winning Ann and Jeff VanderMeer. Including stories from the 1970s to the present day, the collection seeks to expand the conversation about feminism while engaging the reader in a wealth of imaginative ideas. Sisters of the Revolution seeks to expand the ideas of both contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts.
Falling in Love with Hominids
Nalo Hopkinson (Brown Girl in the Ring, Skin Folk) has been widely hailed as a highly significant voice in Caribbean and American fiction. She has been dubbed “one of our most important writers,” (Junot Diaz), with “an imagination that most of us would kill for” (Los Angeles Times), and her work has been called “stunning,” (New York Times) “rich in voice, humor, and dazzling imagery” (Kirkus), and “simply triumphant” (Dorothy Allison).
Falling in Love with Hominids presents over a dozen years of Hopkinson’s new, uncollected fiction, much of which has been unavailable in print. Her singular, vivid tales, which mix the modern with Afro-Caribbean folklore, are occupied by creatures unpredictable and strange: chickens that breathe fire, adults who eat children, and spirits that haunt shopping malls.
Dark Detectives: An Anthology of Supernatural Mysteries
Eighteen stories of supernatural detective fiction, featuring sleuths who investigate fantastic and horrific cases, protecting the world from the forces of darkness.
Each writer offers a tale of a great fictional detective, including Neil Gaiman’s Lawrence Talbot, Clive Barker’s Harry D’Amour, and the eight-part “Seven Stars” adventure by Kim Newman (Anno Dracula)
Dark Screams, Volume One
"Weeds" by Stephen King: When a meteorite lands on his property, Jordy Verrill envisions an easy payday. Unfortunately for Jordy, this is no ordinary rock and the uncompromising force inside has found its first target.
"The Price You Pay" by Kelley Armstrong: Never pay more than you owe. Sounds like easy advice to follow. But for Kara and her childhood friend Ingrid, some debts can never be repaid . . . especially those tendered in blood.
"Magic Eyes" by Bill Pronzini: Edward James Tolliver has found a weary sort of asylum among the insane. He knows he s not one of them but how can he tell anyone about the invaders without sounding that way?
"Murder in Chains" by Simon Clark: Imagine awaking to find yourself in an underground vault, chained by the neck to a murderous lunatic, a grunting goliath who seems more animal than man.
"The Watched" by Ramsey Campbell: Little Jimmy gets a glimpse of the cold truth when he finds out that it s not always what you see that can get you into trouble; it s who knows what you see.
Black Feathers: Dark Avian Tales
Is it any wonder that with so many interpretations of the avian, that the contributors herein are eager to be transformed or influenced by them? Included in Black Feathers are those obsessed by birds of one type or another. Do they want to become birds or just take on some of the “power” of birds? The presence or absence of birds portends the future. A grieving widow takes comfort in her majestic winged neighbors, who enable her to cope with a predatory relative. An isolated society of women relies on a bird to tell their fortunes. A silent young girl and her pet bird might be the only hope a detective has of tracking down a serial killer in a tourist town. A chatty parrot makes illegal deals with the dying. A troubled man lives in isolation with only one friend for company—a jackdaw.
In each of these fictions, you will encounter the dark resonance between the human and avian. You see in yourself the savagery of a predator, the shrewd stalking of a hunter, and you are lured by birds that speak human language, that make beautiful music, that cypher numbers, and seem to have a moral center. You wade into this feathered nightmare, and brave the horror of death, trading your safety and sanity for that which we all seek—the promise of flight.
Stories of Your Life and Others
Ted Chiang's first published story, "Tower of Babylon," won the Nebula Award in 1990. Subsequent stories have won the Asimov's SF Magazine reader poll, a second Nebula Award, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the Sidewise Award for alternate history. He won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1992. Story for story, he is the most honored young writer in modern SF.
Now, collected here for the first time are all seven of this extraordinary writer's stories so far-plus an eighth story written especially for this volume.
What if men built a tower from Earth to Heaven-and broke through to Heaven's other side? What if we discovered that the fundamentals of mathematics were arbitrary and inconsistent? What if there were a science of naming things that calls life into being from inanimate matter? What if exposure to an alien language forever changed our perception of time? What if all the beliefs of fundamentalist Christianity were literally true, and the sight of sinners being swallowed into fiery pits were a routine event on city streets? These are the kinds of outrageous questions posed by the stories of Ted Chiang.

Seth MacFarlane: "Another big problem with the Oscars: It’s 99% drama."
Here’s another big problem with the Oscars no one talks about: It’s 99% drama. Until a movie like “Bridesmaids” or “Airplane!” gets a Best Picture win or even a nomination, it’s all conspicuously incomplete. “Get Out” is a breath of fresh air to be sure, but it’s the exception.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) March 5, 2018
Without a dash of the type of hostility we've grown accustomed to seeing in Twitter rants, Seth MacFarlane reasonably touched up on the pattern the Academy Awards follows with its lack of comedies nominated for Best Picture.
Bridesmaids was nominated under the Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay categories at the 84th Academy Awards. Though, his point still stands, and he even replied to people arguing that a movie like 'Bridesmaids' was not Best Picture material.
Why not? It broke a shitload of new ground, and was undeniably hilarious. https://t.co/upVJYdneZG
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) March 5, 2018
When asked by a follower what comedy has ever been "Best Picture quality", Seth responds with a pretty good list of examples:
“Arthur”, “Tootsie”, “Defending Your Life”, “Little Shop of Horrors”, “Back to the Future” - why not any of these? https://t.co/vvl4C5hobA

that horrid oscar performance that made me unstan aside, I definitely agree with him here tbh

The Oscars Pay Their Respects To Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor In The In Memoriam Segment
The Academy pays their respects to #Sridevi and #ShashiKapoor during the #Oscars 2018. https://t.co/mVLIQrNUOy
— Filmfare (@filmfare) March 5, 2018
(Sridevi is at 2:25 and Shashi is at 2:59)
Beloved and legendary Indian actors, Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor, were included in the In Memoriam segment of the 90th Academy Awards last night.
- Sridevi passed away at the age of 54 on February 24, 2018 due to accidental drowning. She was in over 300 films over the span of 50 years, and was often dubbed India's first female superstar. Not only was she the top actress of Hindi (Bollywood) cinema, but she also commanded the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada film industries as well. This is an extremely rare feat as most Indian actors are only prolific in one regional industry, yet she crossed over into several of them and reigned over them too. Sridevi was also a pioneer and broke many gender barriers in these industries as they were usually dominated by men. She had more clout, fame, and box office pull than her male co-stars and was paid more than them as well. Sridevi was granted the Padma Sri by the Indian government in 2013, which is India's fourth highest civilian award. In addition to her great acting abilities, she was also known for her beauty, dancing skills, and passion for painting.
- Shashi Kapoor passed away on December 4, 2017 at 79 years old from a prolonged illness due to liver cirrhosis. He came from the famous Kapoor family dynasty and was in about 168 films (both Hindi and English). Shashi crossed over to several British/American films by Merchant Ivory, and directed/produced a few Hindi films as well. He also made great contributions to theater in India via Prithvi Theatre, which was founded by his father, Prithviraj Kapoor, in 1942. Shashi was given the Padma Bhushan by the Indian government in 2011, which is India's third highest civilian award. He is sometimes known as the only good and worthwhile man from the Kapoor family (all of the other men in that family were awful people) due to being a gentleman, genuinely kind, and respectful towards women. In his youth and prime, Shashi was also known for his good looks and was a heartthrob.

*Last Week Tonight introduces you to the programming lineup of NRA TV, which is not an SNL skit but is apparently a real network that is available on streaming platforms like Amazon and Apple and tech giant Roku.

Katy Perry and Other Celebrities Pose With Children's Books For A Good Cause

The charity campaign is attempting to donate one million books to children in need through March 31st.

2018 Oscars hit a ratings low, down 16% from last year
Oscars 2018 ratings point to a record low https://t.co/BWFoRuj1Ox
— Entertainment Weekly (@EW) March 5, 2018
-- Last night's Oscars were viewed by 29 million viewers
-- However this is a 16 percent drop from last year (and doubt that had to do with the BP fiasco since that was at the very end)
-- The Shape of Water won best picture (overall 4 wins), followed by Dunkirk (3 wins), and 3 Billboards, Darkest Hour, Coco and Blade Runner (with 2 wins each)

Emma Watson's New Tattoo Has The Wrong Grammar
Emma Watson attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and showed off a new tattoo. There's just one problem... the tattoo has incorrect grammar.
The tattoo says "Times up." The correct punctuation should be "Time's up," with an apostrophe, since the word is a contraction of "Time is up."
Emma was educated at Brown University and the University of Oxford. She majored in English.
