Ah that's exactly it! Thank you!

Isn't there some famous comic book (or issue of a book series) where a dog is a detective? Is this it? Am I going nutso?

Yeah I agree, "Awakening of the Force" is a little clunky. If they had named it that, we'd all be saying "Force Awakens, duh."

We open on: the inside of a cell! Some organelles grow red! We quickly zoom out: it's a young Jake Lloyd!

Cool, if I remember correctly the Force was a pretty big part of the other movies too.

I don't think that's fair. He makes smart movies but tries to make them accessible to the dumbest people in the room. Maybe that's a function of him going directly from psychological thrillers to one of the biggest movie franchises on Earth.

It took me a long time to get past the fact that he sounds exactly like Adam Scott.

I hate, hate, hate movies that start with voiceover, with the exception of Coen brothers movies and Unforgiven. I pretty much shut off Pacific Rim as soon as it started (which a lot of people tell me was a mistake).

100% agreed. I can see how people find her annoying but I'm not there yet. I will continue to womp it up thank you very much wompster's ball.

I used to feel this way about media — especially TV shows — but realized that my memory is terrible, so after 3 years it's as if I never read it.

I just finished Mother Night, and it killed me. Vonnegut is like the world-weary uncle I never had. It makes me want to re-read Cat's Cradle or my personal Vonnegut favorite, Sirens of Titan.

Plus there was that picnic scene with the horriying ending.

Film Crit Hulk has a good analysis of Fincher. His thesis is that Fincher is a great visual director, but he's a slave to style at the expense of being able to find the right tone.

The difference is that there aren't Ferrari shops everywhere that'll replace your Ferrari with a brand-new one (if you're within warranty).

Sushi is DEF not as scary as it sounds or looks. California rolls are the classic gateway drug (and isn't raw fish). Eel and avocado is pretty good too; despite what it sounds like, it's like eating candy.

Vinyl records (and their players) are relatively easy to make in small quantities. It doesn't involve a whole support industry of labs, color timers, scanners, and whatever else is involved with film processing to be kept alive.

I've played Yoshi since 64. His acceleration is brutal, and his top speed (while not as high as the heavyweights) was nothing to laugh at. Plus, his "weaknesses" were cornering and handling, both of which could be overcome with power sliding.
