There is another scene in a junkyard that doesn’t get nearly the attention, but is just as questionable.

In my opinion, the junkyard scene, while morally unpleasant, doesn’t feel gratuitous, because it’s consistent with how I could imagine those characters behaving together. The other scene feels gratuitous to me because it so clearly didn’t have to happen: the magic that binds the kids could have just held together…

The junkyard scene is actually a not bad recreation of mutual sexual discovery in boys. Check with any boy who’s been to boarding school, and you’ll probably find a similar story. Outside the fact that both the boys in the book are sociopaths, there’s nothing particularly disquieting about it.

I just finished re-reading IT yesterday, and the funny thing about That Scene is I actually do think it’s rather well-written. It’s about the best possible execution of that idea.

I believe he has been confronted on that, and his official stance on the matter is "Up your nose with a rubber hose."

The whole Luuke thing is probably the weakest part of the Thrawn Trilogy

“Luke tossed his electrified ass into oblivion at the end of The Return Of The Jedi.”

This show is dumb. This season will be dumb. I will watch every episode, as I have every previous episode. None of it will make sense. I will have a good time. 

Last time I went toilet shopping, one model claimed that it could flush an entire bucket of golf balls. If that’s a selling point, you probably need a check-up from a doctor more than you need a new toilet.

God I hate those fucking things. Did they ever explain how the damn things produce lift?

Dave Arneson got Jack Kirby-ed.

whoever designed that had absolutely no clue how lighsabers are supposed to work. (or how helicopters DO work, when it takes flight....)

“So, we just aim for that giant circle with his exposed hand in the middle, right?”

Looks like a cancer windmill.

Nerd.

They didn't know any better. It was, after all, a long time ago.

When Georgie ran face first into the traffic barrier I cracked up so much I thought my wife was going to walk out.
