Somebody got incredibly lucky!

A very interesting piece in The Guardian from the author of Game of Thrones himself:
Once upon a time there was a planet called Mars, a world of red sands, canals and endless adventure. I remember it well, for I went there often as a child. I come from a blue-collar, working-class background. My family never had much money. We lived in a federal housing project in Bayonne, New Jersey, never owned a car, never saw much of anywhere.

SciFi fans will not be happy to hear the latest news from Paramount:
Paramount Pictures has moved the release for “Star Trek Beyond” a good two weeks back, though its release would still be on July 2016. Paramount hopes to get an Imax date on “Star Trek Beyond” so the studio has pushed for a later release.
Originally set for July 8, 2016, the new “Star Trek” film will open instead on July 22, 2016 to get an Imax release as well. Having to open on July 8, it would conflict with “Tarzan,” which is slated for a July 1, 2016 opening on Imax.

On this day in 1917, ERB began work on ‘The Lost U-Boat,’ a story which became THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT. He completed it in about five weeks, and it was the first installment of his intended Caspak trilogy.
In 1918, ‘Blue Book Magazine’ editor Ray Long was responsible for renaming Burroughs’ novella THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT.
