All You Zombies (Not The Hooters’ Song)

Robert Heinlein once wrote a story called “All You Zombies” about a man who goes back in time and fucks himself, thus becoming his own mother and father.

(Heinlein actually manages to make it all sound a lot more plausible than I just did.)

Later on they made an Ethan Hawke movie out of it called “Predestination”.

Aside from some actually rather clever additions to the plotline it has to be one of the most loyal movie adaptations of a book that I’ve ever seen, right down to much of the dialogue.

I don’t really know why I’m telling you all this.

Maybe it’s just my way of saying Go Fuck Yourself.

    Spamrider

    Spamrider of the Apocalypse is just some crazy dude who contacted us out of the blue one day claiming to be a time traveler who had discovered that he had already been publishing information on our website for years while he was visiting the future.  Neither me or Steve had ever heard of him before so we don’t know if he’s ACTUALLY crazy or what, but he’s definitely weird, and is probably full of crap, so we both just looked at each other, shrugged are shoulders, and pretty much just went with it.
