### THE BLUE WORLD ###

DOMINIC CUMMINGS is profiled: 'His voluminous writings suggest no cultivated interest in the study of art or music, nor, a few allusions to Dostoevsky and Tolstoy aside, in literature, or anyway not in literary criticism, though one wonders whether he might not have a taste for certain forms of science fiction.' (_Guardian_, 6 February) [MMW]

BORIS JOHNSON's synopsis of his 2015 film script _Mission to Assyria_ came to light in late 2019. This 'glorious wish-fulfilment dream movie, a mixture of _Golan-Globus_ and _Raiders of the Lost Ark_', stars Marmaduke Montmorency Burton, an 'old Clooney/Connery/Eastwood-type geezer in his fifties, and a 'gorgeous but scholarly archaeologist' (Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson). The mission: to save an ancient Syrian city from ISIS bad guys led by 'a horrible cologne-drenched jihadi with an air of mincing menace'. Helicopters go 'Dugga dugga dugga thwok thwok thwok', enemies are 'spifflicated' with a shovel, and Marmaduke finishes off that cologne-drenched mincing jihadi with the memorable words 'Aargh. Splatteroo.' The script itself is apparently lost, leaving _Plan 9 from Outer Space_ safe on its pedestal of fame. (_The Author_, Winter 2019)

STEPHEN KING announced (via Twitter) his departure from Facebook, saying he wasn't comfortable with the 'flood of false information allowed in its political advertising'. (_Guardian_, 3 February) [PB]

DEAN KOONTZ's use of 'Wuhan-400' for an engineered virus in _The Eyes of Darkness_ has, er, gone viral -- though that 1981 novel called it Gorki-400; it was changed in a 2008 reprint. (Snopes.com, 18 February)

GEORGE R.R. MARTIN is pleased that palaeontologists have named a 'new' genus of pterosaur for House Targaryen in _Game of Thrones_: _Targaryendraco wiedenrothi_. (_Guardian_, 26 February) [EJ]

### INFINITELY IMPROBABLE ###

AS OTHERS SEE US. 'According to the statistics on display in Helen Taylor's lavishly publicised new study [_Why Women Read Fiction_], women bought 76 percent of the general fiction sold in the UK in 2017 and blokes a paltry 24 percent. Even when it came to the classics, women were still ahead (52 to 48) and it was only when you reached questionable sub-genres such as horror (46/54) and sci-fi (25/75) that the guys really came into their own.' (_Private Eye_, 7 February) [RF]

R.I.P. _Paul Barnett_ (1949-2020), Scots author and editor active since the 1970s, usually as 'John Grant'-- the first book with this byline being the 1979 sf anthology _Aries 1_ -- died on 3 February aged 70.
