This is why it’s always better to travel on a more experienced train.

“Oh, the Leviathan’s large,
It’s as big as a barge,
It’s the terror of all seven seas.
Ah, but here on the land,
When it’s stuck in the sand,
It’s a hideaway for you and me—and me,
A hideaway for you and me.

1:52 for the actual lighting.

The trailer for it is linked at the bottom as the image source, but here’s the full prelude thing:

Before I watched this, there was a 30 year old 1st Student’s Edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics about six feet away from me. But then I wondered “what’s the boiling point of ethylene glycol?” and google told me the answer much faster than I could have looked it up. The nostalgia is dead and there is…

I do the same thing with my pebble. It costs $69, lasts a week on a charge and I have been wearing it for almost 3 years.

I can not only effortlessly buy this by pressing my finger to a digital image displayed on a battery powered hand held computer no larger than a magazine, communicating wirelessly across a vast network with a remote computer far far away, but somehow this physical artifact will arrive at my doorstep before Christmas.

The casting of a black Hermione isn’t a big deal at all - theater has a long tradition of color-blind casting. Nobody bats an eyebrow if your Juliet is Chinese or your Javert Black.

Already seen the response on twitter to this and many people are upset with the casting of a black person as Hermione, a character who in both the books and films has been white, but the thing is that people don’t seem to be aware theatre has always traditionally had any actor/actress of any colour play characters…

It’s kinda like Julia Roberts. I thought she was like 30 years old when I was a kid in the 1990s. Nope, they were in their 20s, which is awesome. People in their 20s these days? Mostly children, myself included.

Could all be a facade!

I must be odd because I loved the “red matter” concept. He didn’t explain it, it was just red stuff that blew up a planet. Cool.

I think it’s safe to assume that by “a novel” he meant an Expanded Universe book...

I’m holding my multipass with anticipation.

It turned into a great comedy once the adorable kid dies. My friends and I spent MONTHS saying “I want to play with YOOOOO DADDY...”

Bridge of Terabithia was marketed so badly to capitalize on the Harry Potter craze. I watched it on cable expecting a stupid children’s fantasy movie but what it was was so much more than that. It had a more adult theme of dealing with loss and I was pleasantly surprised.

You walked out of Tremors?

Oh God, reading your comment flashed me back to the story about the “Radium Girls” of the ‘20s.

I've never heard of dolphins accidently biting huge chunks of human flesh during a freeding frenzy... but thats just me.
