It is unfortunate but I kind of get it. The original JP movie and those versions of the characters are just too well known and too beloved that anything closer to the book versions would probably put a lot of people off.

Hank Sr was banned in 1952 forever for missing a show. Hank Jr also got banned in the 80's for being rowdy backstage and being an asshole to everyone.

They can clone him! Throw in some frog DNA just to see what happens. 

Keep ‘em coming and quick! BD Wong won’t live forever!

Gas stations are tied to a mini-mart because they don’t actually profit on gas. They normally have about a 3 cent mark-up per gallon, which doesn’t even cover the cost of keeping the lights on.

It’s been a while so I might be wrong, but I remember thinking the movie suggests a shit ton of young American women must get abducted from Paris. Like they get the daughter and her friend and then a day or two later Liam Neeson arrives and the guy is in the process of luring another victim or two.

Let’s hope they do the trick!

I also always liked how in the book there are raptors on the mainland. That whole mystery start of the novel is a lot of fun, even though you already know what’s been biting the kids and tearing up the ingen workers.

The Kinja Caffeine Spider, one of the AV Club’s most respected and starred commenters, isn’t particularly surprised to hear this.

I was unaware that Electrify America was part of Volkswagen’s detention. The fact that these stations do not work makes a lot more sense now - just as how the penmanship for when they had to write “I will not cheat on diesel emissions” 100 times was somewhat subpar.

I mean if they’re rebooting they could adhere to the book more closely, with the heroic lawyer character actually being one of the survivors instead of the dead hiding toilet weasel.

Tiny elephant this time or GTFO.

You gotta like Zanzibar.  I mean, no you don’t, but I do.  

Very fair point.

Even more shocking, I think they’re supposed to be in high school or just graduated.

Or “I Will Always Chug You”

In 2009 that still seemed far fetched that women in their early 20's would want to be following U2 around. Even in 1999 it wasn’t that realistic. I remember the Saved by the Bell where they were waiting for U2 tickets, and I was like who tf would go thru all that for U2?

The answer is It’s 9 to 5 Somewhere
