James,
Yes, they’re fun. The second one reminds me of Chris Ware’s comics. This one too:

Re the sci-fi corridors... No BSG?
Posted by: John D | September 19, 2009 at 19:05
John,
Yes, a major oversight, especially when at least 20% of BSG took place in corridors of one kind or another. Galactica’s hallways even cropped up in song:

And Tarkovsky’s version of Solaris also gave good corridor…

Alien V Predator is another corridor movie with an Aztec twist.

So is 'corridor movie' a new sub-genre?

The little people are cute. I came across the book in a bookshop and spent several happy minutes leafing through it. Unfortunately it's been saddled with an introduction by Will Self, who in his ponderous way nearly manages to strip the project of all its charm.
