I finally got around to watching that documentary. Do you really believe that? Jodorowsky didn't seem to really have any idea what Dune was about, slathered enormous layers of '70s "Get a load of this weird shit, whoah man" into a scrapbook. And without a whole lot to recommend it on its own. I went into that…

I love Lolita and think it's probably unadaptable. What makes it work is the language and experience of reading it. Being shown someone else's vision of it would just be icky.

Have we already covered that it's not a hologram?

I think we're supposed to think this is the "plan":

I think Star Wars is the only movie where any of the characters do anything remotely clever or insightful, and it's only Leia. By Return of the Jedi the characters are just dumb, sometimes purposefully, comically, so (Leia is literally along for the ride for almost the whole of The Empire Strikes Back). And I think in…

It's not really well thought out but none of the characters were ever shown as particularly smart. I think it was less a plan and more trying things to see if they'd work in the moment. If she could have freed Han after hours like she planned, they'd just need to go in and get able-bodied Chewie and the droids, who…

I can't wait to really dig into Lumpy.

I agree with you in principle but Toy Story 3 kind of sucked. Its self-aware poignancy was so hacky and artificial in contrast with the effortless emotional stakes in Toy Story 2. It was very "let's copy what's gone before"—down to a very similar mentor-turned-villain—"now, um, let's make it dark". Jessie's sadness…

This is really true, and I remember spending several cycles—starting with a bug's life, thinking "oh, this is where they fail."

I mean… there has been some insertion of digits.

I think Dwigt's suggestion was two narrative timelines, i.e., a flashback, not time travel.

He wasn't.

We don't know what he would have happily done (he was asked to, but did not audition, so I think you're incorrect with your paraphrase up top) but I also don't know why anyone would think he would be good at doing an Indian accent, funny or otherwise. He grew up in South Carolina. So it's totally reasonable for him to…

Is there any evidence he can even do an Indian accent? He's not Indian. Maybe he's just covering for a lack of ability to do accents.

I think we're all familiar enough with your vore fetish.

I've never understood this perspective about a bad adaptation, sequel or remake. It doesn't reach back in time and affect whatever you like about the original at all. I don't understand why people talk about "ruining" something.

Looking into the dim mists of history, there was actually a distinction between "an internet"—one of many routed networks using internet protocol packets—and "the Internet", the "main" one most universities and large technology businesses were connected to and which was opened up for commercial use in 1994. An…

They did, in 2009, but I don't know what ever happened to him. I saw him; he existed.

I have altered my hairstyle. Pray I don't alter it further.

The number is around 20%. Plus or minus some, and there are a small number of long-term relationships that wouldn't qualify as marriages, but basically the fraction of sexless marriages is around 20%.
