That Fire Captain in Antarctica is an excellent story, but caution is warranted. At the bottom of that page are links to two more great stories, then at those stories more links. And not a clinker in the bunch, best rabbit hole I've seen in years.

I'm having a hard time reconciling the fact that Disney is making a remake of a remake of a movie about the antichrist. Seriously. Disney is actually doing this. But the fact that they don't have a clue how to market it is not surprising at all.
