So as the books and movies we refer to as “Lord of the Rings” are actually more about the One Ring™, they should be called “The Ring of the Lord of the Rings”?

Edit: is the image I added showing? I’m referring to the cat bodies with a weird assortment of legs shown at the very end of the video.

“It’s the wild colour scheme that freaks me,” said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, “Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done…

But considering George Clooney’s very snowy beard, you’d be forgiven for mistakenly thinking the movie was about Santa.

Interesting - I couldn’t make it through more than the first 20-30 minutes of the first one, but enjoyed the second. I usually like B-grade movies, but I think the characters and action just did click for me with the first. Whereas the second was just straight-up stupid action from the get-go.

If you haven’t already seen it, you definitely should watch Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress” as that movie is the main one that Lucas was “inspired by” - i.e. lifted almost all the main storyline points and characters from. Also, it’s a very good film, so you can just watch it for that.

Your username is a cool reference to Philip K Dick, but you sound like you walked right out of a Heinlein novel.

Totally agreed. Bollywood Fred Flintstone’s smouldering blue eyes are making me question my sexuality.

Given the angle the two outer cockpits are at I assume that they rotate around the central cockpit.

No, that isn’t a sign held by a protestor, it’s a news article interwoven in to the panel and isn’t talking about a pandemic - global or local - it’s talking about outbreaks of various diseases in refugee camps.

That is disturbing. Truly a case of be careful what you wish for.

Enough with the typos, people. It’s obviously “Gentile Herpes”.

Now I want to see Patton Oswalt cosplay/ dress up for Halloween as Success Kid Baby.

Yes! I didn’t catch what he said the first time so I rewatched it with CC on and he did say “MILFs!”, with much enthusiasm.

I’m pretty sure they were making fun of male writers’ terrible attempts at writing women, not at the Bechdel Test itself. I feel that if they did want to make fun of the test then it would have been Rick making up the story, or at least throwing in some snarky comments about how bad Morty’s story was. Instead they had…

Oh, no! Language is a living, changing thing and I can’t cope!

This is all a bit of a stretch.

How do they keep the blades sharper?

I have a fairly long commute and carry both my normal phone, and a tablet for reading eBooks. I’d really like to have a single phone like the Galaxy Fold that I can use closed like a normal phone, and then open up when I want to read books. I also sometimes carry both around the house if I want to have my phone for…

In Woody Allen’s case it’s because for movies - just like for girls - he doesn’t like them once they get old.
