what frustrates me is how languid written fiction is. these movies are just examples of relentless thrillers. why is it so difficult to find the equivalent in written fiction? I suppose because the target audience and the temperament of writers is the indulgent kind, they'll put down every little aside and fancy into wank prose while on their laptop in their favourite coffee shop!!!

I like hodgson, peake a lot of science fiction has cool ideas i guess. but what I'm more concerned with is ideas that facilitate a suspenseful gripping/intense experience. the concept of serialized fiction kind of appeals to me since it's like a sink or swim situation if the audience isn't entertained. but it seems that there's much more creativity in the manga field in comparison to the serialized stuff coming out now. it seems like it's all ripping off manga really.
