Schottenheimer’s cat: the unknown state of a football cat where not knowing if it was smuggled in or found at Arrowhead forces us to think about it as simultaneously both smuggled in AND found at Arrowhead.

Oh man, Ren being 30 years old is saaaaaaaaad. That Darth Vader magazine cutout collage on your wall stops being cute at, like, 25.

Given what he did to Dune, he should never have been allowed near Star Wars.

A note on Pagueis:

Are we pretending Lucas ever gave two shits about the people (the fans) paying for his twinkies?

So Mr. Lucas, speaking of divorce, why did you erase your ex-wife Marcia from Lucasfilm history, especially after Marcia helped create the original trilogy and won a Oscar for film editing.?

Lucas - “It’s about Family”

“It’s not just about spaceships!”

Lucas, STFU.

Just let the old man say what he wants. He can’t hurt us anymore.

Quite honestly, I think this is all very human of George Lucas - He keeps referencing divorces and children and new marriages and so on, because it is all quite painful for him.

Remember, George, we’re not just doing this for money... We’re doing it for a SHITLOAD of money!

Anyone else getting dashes of Gene Roddenberry in the mix here? There was similar friction when they were making TNG, with the showrunners initially excited to get Roddenberry's input but then gradually ignoring his ideas as they realized they weren't really working anymore. The process left Roddenberry pretty…

I honestly think the best we can hope for is that someone else steps in and finishes up the series for him. Same as George Lucas.

The series is marred by both. The last book had a ton of plot lines that went nowhere (the guy that goes across an ocean and gets promptly killed by the chained dragons, Mereen, the fact Daenerys chained up her dragons, Brienne wandering around accomplishing nothing, etc.) but there is also too much focus on “world…

Man, if he does the novelizations, then how’s Alan Dean Foster going to make rent this month?

I expect it to improve vastly now that they’re no longer dramatizing the two shitty books.

I think I agree with you. I mean, was there ever meant to be an ending to this thing? Every chapter is practically a new plot with new characters. Even if someone else sits on the throne, what is going to happen to the rest of the people in the story? You think they will be happy with that? These books never had an…

The purpose of the article is to express the opinion that this dude may well have no pages.

I’ve reached the point that whenever the show catches up to the books (next season or the one after that), I will be done with the print version of ASOIAF. Whatever HBO gives me will be good enough. At least I can count on them to finish the damn thing.
