Here's the rub, to actually affect the sort of change we need to prevent dangerous climactic chaos, the transformation isn't merely going to come from vaporware tech solutions or sweeping industrial reform, it's going to come from personal sacrifices from all of us. Not flying a plane, not driving a car, limiting your…

The Scriptnotes podcast had a great interview with the writers of this movie, keen to see it!

He gets to have sex with Emily Blunt on the reg', I'm pretty sure he's fine.

Just a word of warning, if you suffer from motion sickness this film may end up a punishing experience for you. My poor girlfriend was ill for most of the duration of the movie.

Right, but that's also not what is happening here. The kind of movie you're talking about is exactly the sort that Herzog made with "Aguirre", which Roth has referenced but according to Dowd has completely failed to produce. The jungle can seem like a bizzare, surreal alien planet, rather than just a bunch of trees.

I moved here (to Vancouver) in 2012 with a little under five grand saved up and zero jobs lined up. The cost of living was positively punishing. After my first few months it started to get a little hairy, like "planning-my-days-around-which-Hindu-temple-has-free-meals-today" hairy, but I kind of have no one to blame…

Yes

Her character's entire defining point seemed to be "Is Australian", she mentioned it like three times. Uh, thanks showrunners, we get it.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that this movie is essentially a reimagining of Rear Window. One of the nifty things about the film is the way it depicts long haul drives along isolated roads creating a weird sense of community, seeing the same cars and drivers again and again as people stop, refuel and sleep. This…

I sympathize. I'm no fan of seeing gross stuff either, but to me, if seeing icky diseased body parts occasionally is the price we have to pay as a society to improve our health on the scale at which dropping the rates of smoking does, I'm for it.

I'm saying that warning labels, targeted health campaigns offering support to people to quit smoking and graphic representations of the potential consequences of smoking have a measurable impact on smoking rates. The first and last things I mentioned have a particular impact on people who have not yet adopted smoking.

Not wanting to die in horrible pain is a pretty universal cultural trait.

Speaking personally as an Australian who grew up with the advertising mentioned in the show, the graphic nature of the warning was DEFINITELY a factor in me finding smoking abhorrent. Traumatizing children, it works!

It's pretty much an objective fact that the best films about mental illness are "Clean, Shaven" and "It's Such A Beautiful Day".

From what I understand, it's for him and all his scuzzy anarchist buddies.

Which had entirely too much fish-man rape. Which… really… is any amount. Probably the worst thing he's written.

There's an interview somewhere where Warren Ellis talks about how Alan Moore has used a lot of his personal fortune to run his own cannabis farm so he has a never ending supply. The man is committed, I'll say that.

I've been fortunate to never have suffered from depression but it has marked way too many people I love. If someone you know is depressed, GET HELP, it's a bullshit vortex that eats everything and everyone around it.

Joke's on you, Wyoming isn't a real place!
