Simpson rather than Arnold Schwarzenegger-though Schwarzenegger was still in the film, as Kyle Reese. Here was The Terminator, but starring O.J.
Here was Total Recall, but directed and written by David Cronenberg, not Paul Verhoeven. Here was The Death of Superman, directed by Tim Burton, starring Nicolas Cage in Pete’s universe, Burton and Cage had both dropped the project early on. The shelves yielded miracle after miracle. Scroll down for links to this year’s stories which i will update as we go, and if you have any suggestions, send 'em my way! the only rules are: it must be available free online (links greatly appreciated), and it must be here on gr as its own thing so i can review it. Links to all stories read in previous years' calendars can be found at the end of these reviews, in case you are a person who likes to read stories for free: please do not weep for the great big hole my absented, much-vaunted critical insights are gonna leave in these daily review-spaces (and your hearts) i’ll try to drop shiny insights elsewhere in other reviews, and here, i will at least drop links to where you can read the stories yourselves for free, which - let’s be honest - is gonna serve you better anyway.
Since i am already well behind in my *regular* reviewing, when it comes to these stories, whatever i poop out as far as reflections or impressions are going to be superficial and perfunctory at best. it’s not a true advent calendar since i choose all the stories myself, but what it lacks in the ‘element of surprise’ department it more than makes up for in hassle, as i try to cram even MORE reading into a life already overcrammed with impossible personal goals (live up to your potential! find meaningful work! learn to knit!) merry merry wheee! For the past two years, i’ve set december’s project aside to do my own version of a short story advent calendar.
