List with No Name #20

Biblioklept11 Comments

1. Reboot of True Blood as a half-hour sitcom focused on Merlotte’s; Lafayette is the star, that red headed chick is his sidekick, and Sookie is nowhere in sight.

2. Reboot/sequel of Battlestar Galactica that picks up right where the second reboot ended, in modern-day New York City. No sci-fi elements. The series is simply a dull soap opera.

3. Girls/Game of Thrones mashup; the Khaleesi sends her dragons to eat privileged white people in Brooklyn. The series is over in about 4 minutes.

4. Sequel to The Wire that takes place entirely in your imagination; you occasionally muddle key details.

5. Reboot of Mad Men as insufferable single-camera faux documentary 30 minute sitcom featuring direct-to-camera interviews, etc.

6. A fourth season of Bored to Death; each episode is 8 minutes long and embedded as a series of “commercial breaks” into random late-night infomercials.

7. Reboot of Family Ties as a serious one hour drama / secret mash-up with Batttlestar Galactica (Dad Keaton begins to suspect that Alex is a cylcon—or is he a cylon himself?!).

8. American version of Downton Abbey that lasts nine seasons longer than the British version.

9. Nine hour miniseries sequel to Xena: Warrior Princess.

10. Reboot of The Sopranos in the style of Real Housewives of New Jersey.

11. Reboot of Freaks and Geeks that gets canceled after one season but no one from the show moves on to any measure of fame or success.

12. Reboot of Seinfeld as a series of dramatic monologues performed by subterranean survivors of some unnameable apocalypse.

13. Reboot of Breaking Bad without cancer, meth, crime plots. Series is about a high school teacher and his family.

14. Reboot of Entourage as a first-person shooter video game where players can repeatedly execute the characters.

15. A fourth season of Deadwood.

List of Artworks Destroyed in the 9/11 World Trade Center Attack

Works destroyed in the September 11 attacks

Many works of art were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed.

Countless other works of art and valuable artifacts, found in safe deposit boxes located throughout the towers, were also destroyed.

Two other sculptures were damaged, but not destroyed by the attacks. These are Red Cube by Isamu Noguchi and Joie de Vivre by Mark di Suvero, located down the street from the World Trade Center. They were repaired and still stand today.

  1. “Listening to the same programme, she also learned that the only animal that doesn’t crossbreed with its own offspring, is the horse.”
  2. “Somebody went there to die, I believe, in one of the old stories. Paris, perhaps. I mean the Paris who had been Helen’s lover, naturally. And who was wounded quite near the end of that war.”
  3. “With nought a wired from the wordless either.”
  4. “Hack away you mean red nigger, he said, and the old man raised the axe and split the head of John Joel Glanton to the thrapple.”
  5. “I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”
