Ha! I noticed it, too, but…It wasn't them. I rewound to see them a second time.

YES! THAT'S who she reminded me of! Thank you!

The context is everyone talking about how Lynch out-Kubricked Kubrick, and how Kubrickian the episode was, and my thinking how much it obviously looked like Lynch doing exactly what Kubrick did back when it was actually original and interesting. Hence my saying "Blah blah blah, Stanley Kubrick," in *the previous…

The point is, being on Kubrick's property was more interesting than the crap Kubrick copy Lynch subjected me to.

You mean the story I specifically didn't bother telling, and only referenced to make a point? Okay.

Yes, that was a lovely shot. But all the color-tunnel stuff and the raindrops etc. that followed is what I was referring to specifically (not that I'd expect you to know that, I'm just clarifying).

Oh, absolutely. I do myself. But there's a difference between re-using an idea in an original fashion, or alluding to an idea, and just being derivative.

You're not the only one.

I sincerely hope no one with epilepsy had any issues with that episode. I had to turn away at one point with the convenience store bit.

So visuals is not the only way the episode was derivative. *nods*

See my reply to Mr Smith re Rogue—it's short, but I was surprised by how fun it was.

I was and am surprised by how much fun I found Rogue to be. Clearing the gang camps, the French settlements, and hunting down the Assassin Stalkers following me kept me entertained for a very long time, and as someone who got the warehouse-looting in 4 down to a science (I could be in an out of some of those…

Sailing/ship battle in Black Flag is much easier and more fun than in 3, as well; they really upgraded and perfected it. And the Caribbean settings are really pretty—Havana and Kingston are both utter delights.

My husband is 44, and a more-salt-than-pepper silver fox. :-) He started graying early; he was twenty-two when we met and had a genuine white streak at the temple then (a few years later, while we were engaged, we went to a comedy show and the comedian referred to him as "the skunk." Hee).

I was super disappointed in this movie's "Gaston" song (it's my favorite, too). The lyric changes were ugh—every last inch of him is no longer covered with hair, which was one of my favorite funny lines from the original.

Took my daughter to see this yesterday. She loved it (she's twelve). I'm not as enthusiastic. I liked it okay, but I disliked some of the changes (especially to "Gaston," which is my favorite song from the original; every last inch of him is no longer covered with hair, which disappointed me).

…and they never manage to turn him into a man with a bit of beast about him, either; I was so disappointed to once again see the Prince as a rather insipid, boyish-looking man, instead of someone with a bit of craggy danger or rakishness about his face.

Is that one good (I Am Not A Serial Killer)? We saw the title etc. on Netflix tonight and thought it looked kind of mundane/bleh, but if that's not the case…

Interesting theory, thanks! My husband and I just (finally) watched this one tonight, and wondered if that might have been the case; we're not sold on any theory, necessarily, but I really enjoyed your explanation and it does fit our loose theories. (It would also explain why the boards are off the wall at the end,…

That's how you get diabetus.
