UH OH

Dude. The main fish in Fantasia is a straight-up ass hole.

You gotta wash your ass, if you must.

"Blade Runner 2046?" I've never seen a more instantly-dated title since Space: 1999. In 1975!

You tap on the cars so they come near you and then when they pull up ask which pokemon they are.

I've only taken five Uber rides, but each and every driver has let me know how many people have puked in their car, and only once was that information spurred by a question.

Which third? The first third, or the second third, where they pretty much replayed the first third?

"It belongs under my ass, relieving this itch I feel. In my ass!"

…and we're currently in backlash phase. As a thirty-something white male, I'm really good at riding things out til the "forget about it and stop being mad" phase.

Good point. Can you find a way to make it strident and accusatory? Because otherwise it's never going to gain traction.

Ah, I didn't recognize him with clothes on.

Steamed hams, we call them.

I'm sorry your feelings were hurt.

I'm gobsmacked by anyone who reads books in the year they come out. For one, there are so so so many books from the past I've yet to read, for two they're more expensive when they come out (unless you just use the library), for three often it takes some time for the dust to settle and a book to reveal its true staying…

It was slower going for me reading The Dark Forest, but it really picked up about halfway through, and overall I was engrossed enough in the story to keep with it. I also think the translator for Dark Forest tended to stay very direct and translate word-for-word, while Ken Liu seemed to take liberties for the prose's…

I've never seen it, either. I wonder if that sort of "I barely know who anyone is and I'm just asking them rapid fire sound byte questions was newer (and more grating) back then.

I just watched that clip; it seems like things took a turn when she said their interview had gone belly-up twenty seconds ago. I'm sure actors deal with loads and loads of bad, uninformed journalists, but you could really see him bristle at the idea that he was complicit in the interview sucking as it did.

With the right momentum, tons of people will sign off on a bad idea. I could see Lewis selling enough producers on "a Jewish clown is sent to a concentration camp and finds purpose in bringing light to the lives of the children there." And once you've got funding, everything else falls into place. On set, the DP isn't…

Exactly. Based on everything I've heard and seen, it sounds more like a well-intended project that missed the mark than an out-and-out fiasco.
