Title: SciFi and Fantasy and Humor
Post by: mrganondorf on October 16, 2014, 02:00:08 pm
Saw this and knew there have to be more humor for our demographic, Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn discussing the LOTR films:

And just thought of this from Key and Peele!  The Power of Wings, fantasy/music video:

"You’ve Read Barely Any Sci-Fi!
Ouch! Looks like you’ve barely read any sci-fi at all! Perhaps you’re more the Dan Brown type. Or maybe you would rather be hocking rugby balls at Brett and Steff with your knees all scuffed. How about one of these days you crack open something for your brain before it’s just wet semolina?"

:(
