How to make love to thirty-three famous women and not die

SODERBERG:  Do you just tend to dream up fucked up stories or are those the ones you see through?  Do you ignore the inspiration in your head that thinks of more “pleasant” ideas?

SIMMONS:  These are the stories I feel compelled to do right now.  Most of my ideas lean toward the horror thing at the moment.  But I don’t feel obligated to do them.  I don’t only like super freaked-out shit just for the sake of it being super freaked-out.  It’s got to be good and smart and original and well-made, too.  I’ll appreciate the shit out of some down-to-earth, subtle, low-key classic shit.  I’ll watch the fuck out of Tokyo Story.  I don’t give a shit.  Ultimately, I’m interested in quality and honesty over who can do the freakiest shit.  But yes, generally happy or pleasant stories don’t come to me.

It is fitting that Voltaire and Baskerville, two infamous atheists of the 18th century, were posthumously connected in this ill-fated publishing venture.  Voltaire, when asked on his deathbed by a priest to renounce Santa, famously replied, “Now is not the time to be making new enemies.”

The human embyro recapitulates all the evolutionary stages, he says. It grows gills, loses them. It grows a tail, and loses that. It grows hair all over its body, and loses that. And then it is born.
He means to recapitulate all the stages of logic. All the errors of logic. All its achievements. And after that - will logic be born?

           — Lars Iyer, excerpt from Wittgenstein Jr

  • MZA: I think Megan and Don really love each other, and I'll be upset if they kill Megan. Or Don.

“But the real problem was the indexing system, and it is still the problem with facial recognition systems as an identification tool. There are a lot of advantages to facial recognition because you can do it surreptitiously, and people don’t have to cooperate. But the face becomes a difficult thing to classify and convert into quantitative information. You end up just measuring the distances between features, and it’s just not the most discriminating kind of measurement, compared with irises or fingerprints or DNA.”

— Simon Cole, associate professor of criminology @ UC Irvine, as interviewed by Errol Morris
