I'm just getting a gratuitous vibe.

Maybe Midichlorians are to the Force, what chicken pox are to Shingles. Prologue to something horribly worse.

Rolley-droid will be the new Jar-Jar. The thought of it turns my stomach. But, Disney and Kenner gotta sell toys... sigh. I see no point at all for crossguards on a lightsabre.

My impression of what Robert Jordan's Tar Valon looks like has changed a bit.

This is NOT the March Of Progress that we are looking for. Give that stake back, AMC!

No such thing as Art made with Computers. There is Art, and then there is stuff you can do with computers. Pretty digital pictures, but it is not art. Above samples? Not Art. Don't confuse the two. Computers are not, nor ever will be an Art Media.

Dear Hollywood Suits. If you can't walk into a book store and find a new story worth turning into a movie. Then just quit the Industry. You are part of the problem.

Again. I simply do not see the reason to re-boot Ghostbusters. No purpose under the sun— except some out of touch, greedy Boomer Suits are feeling nostalgic. Millions of great books have been written since the 1990s. Hollywood is failing itself in enormous ways.

The stunning lack of the written word is going to be the surprise. Digital communication and record-keeping leaves no history.

See— I think it is clear, now, that anti-imagination Hollywood is just trolling the entire world any more. I thought the Tetris movie was the last nail in their coffin, but I guess they are going for some sort of World Cup of Irrelevancy. They just do not give a single frack any more.

EXACTLY like Aladdin. I threw up when I saw him. Literally. I knew this was going to be Disney in Space straight-away. And those overly-anthropomorphized droids— just get rid of them, and replace them with smart-assed midgets, already. That's all they are, anyway. Ridiculous.

If at first your super-crappy, overly-Dineyfied Star Wars cartoon for three year-olds does not succeed, just give it away for free, and hope someone will like it besides the out-of-touch Hollywood Suits. Good lord on a biscuit, Rebels is just the worst thing to ever happen to the Star Wars franchise. It does not give

So, there have been no books or scripts written since the Middle Ages? Bollocks. Please Hollywood, if I give you a bit of MY imagination, will you USE it??? Just once? Criminy, you all need to be swept into the ocean, and replaced with actual creative people. You lot have ossified into uselessness.

Conservative Fundies and Reality have been divorced for a long, long time. I don't even try to talk with them any more. Unless I am actively trolling them. No point in it.

Sounds like some corporations need a swift kick in the crotch.

Yep. As the goal is to flush out oil deposits to burn here on the surface, they are simply replacing this carbon for that carbon. Zero-Sum at its (unlikely) best, and probably worse, considering the coal input is still being strip-mined (or worse) and transported, involving all the same oil- burning machinery as

I honestly cannot see how HBO can "improve" upon this already perfectly well-done show. Are there no other books or scripts available in the world? Have we come to this?

This must never happen to Antarctica. We've done enough damage there, already.

The Number One rule that every Homebrewer, and true beer aficionado knows: NEVER drink a beer that comes in a clear glass bottle.

I see a parallel between the Jedi of Star Wars, and the T'lann Imass in Steven Erikson's "Malazan Book Of The Fallen." I sort of wish the Star Wars universe wold have thought of complicating the Jedi in a similar manner.
