Many authors often talk about the hope of optioning their story(ies). What are your thoughts on optioning material for films and television. Or perhaps more specificaly, what are your thoughts on the idea of giving up control in how your creation are used when attemping to bring your story to a wider audience?

Uhm... I'll be... give me a couple minutes...

Yeah. Why it took the 'world' almost twenty years to correct the mistake on displays and books once it was official is odd. And while I know he is an Apato, the little boy in me refuses to let Bronto go. I am waiting for the day when they put the final nail in the coffin of my childhood, and they tell me that Dino…

Until 1989 the creatures were referred to Brontosaurus, in films, a great many museums around the world, toys, books, etc. It was only after '89 that Bronto was phased out. So for many kids born before then, the four legged 'longed necked' dinosaur was a brontosaurus. The characters in TLBT were the 'basic'…

Just check and yep. So, at least Cera is still valid, even if Littlefoot is 'no more'... *sniff*

Personality wise they are unique, but if male 'Boba' and female 'trooper' have a kid, it would be a clone too... *Screams and runs away in terror*

What is the 'Willis Tower' you speak of? Can it be observed from the top of the Sears Tower?

'built' in the corporate sense, as in providing funding & resources to achieve said construction not necessarily 'assembled by', Kinda like the Fiesta is built by Ford, but it is assembled in Mexico.

I follow Sue The T-Rex on twitter, and she seemed happy about the news.

My childhood 'died' ages ago. Dino feathers? No Brontosaurus? Triceratops was a mistake? Compared to the constant changes to my childhood dino fantasies, Greedo shooting first is nothing.

98% is only 'near-mint' and it has obviously been removed from the box, significantly lowering its value. I'll give ya $50 bucks for it.

Bond was only married once, and she was murdered on their wedding day. While the idea is nice, the movies offer enough inconsistencies to make this an unworkable theory.

I said 'built by'. If we want to get technical, it is a Italian bull built by Germans based on Indonesian evolutions of an American financed car of Swiss origin.

While a good real world explaination, the films prove this false, as a later 'Bond' visits his wife's grave, but the wife was married to an earlier 'Bond'. So this would mean both actors were playing the same man.

"no particular actor is James Bond"

For me, it is rather easy. I would give a nut for a Grabber Yellow '71 Mach 1, but I would kill for a '73 Faclon XB GT in any color.

"so when you hit level 37 and can't decide between the 1999 Lamborghini Diablo GTR and the 1997 McLaren F1 GT, wouldn't it be useful to know that one is valued at a whopping 20 times the value of the other?"

They still allow death by burning for heresy, correct?

You mention Batman: End Game, but fail to offer a nod to the actual mini-series (yes, plural) that had to be the inspiration for it.

At the University of Montana, there is a sign in one of the courtyards that reads 'No Parking On Roof'. It was even feature on Leno once. There are two underground lecture halls under it and that's what the sign is for, but it still is rather odd unless you know the reason for it.
