Netflix was roundly mocked for releasing their ridiculous shark film as 'Under Paris' instead of the obvious Shark de Triomphe. So they've just released these alternate posters, which I love. #UnderParis

Alright, folks. I'm ending the evening with another little reminder about my big book sale. I'm moving. My family is growing. And these books deserve new homes! There's a spreadsheet. 1800 books (SF/F/H, plus magazines, DVDs, etc.). Tell your friends. Share. Wee! shaunduke.net/2024/06/book...
