...fantasy to terrifying life. This pack of three 1950s monster films shows his no-budget brilliance: to save money, he gave the giant octopus in It Came from Beneath the Sea just six arms. He destroyed D.C. in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers and created the Ymir, a sulfurous Venusian, in 20 Million Miles to Earth. All his beasties, hand-crafted and photographed one frame at a time, had the power and grandeur of the original Kong...
...before the universe finally fades out, his nightmare will come true--though not as he imagined. Now about halfway through its estimated 10 billion-year lifetime, our sun is slowly brightening. In about 1 billion years, its energy output will have increased at least 10%, turning Earth into a Venusian hothouse where plants wither, carbon dioxide levels plummet and the oceans boil...

Based on the notion that there are fundamental emotional differences between the sexes, this book, with its chapters on what happens when you fall in love with a "Venusian," effectively stereotypes gender psyches the way no one would allow with regard to gender abilities. Such literature also increases rather than decreases distance between men and women by focusing on arguable behavior patterns that Gray feels we should use as subject matter for some sort of mutual, ethological study rather...
