The sad news yesterday of course was the death of Kurt Vonnegut. He was 84 and leaves a legacy of 15 novels, numerous short stories, essays and plays. I believe that Galápagos was my first Vonnegut and I moved on to others from there.

In other news, Kevin Smith’s next project is a horror movie called Red State.

From the Rotten Tomatoes exclusive:

But while Smith is convinced that “horror” is the right definition for the film, he’s not so sure audiences will agree. “To me there’s all kinds of horror, and killing someone’s not the absolute worst thing you could do to another human being,” he said, “The death in a horror movie has always been the money shot in a very exploitative manner. Stabbing somebody and splashing blood all over them is the equivalent to some dude exploding over some broad’s face.
