My daughter went through a phase in which she absolutely loved "The Cat In the Hat" movie, so it was on a lot. If you forget that it's supposed to be an adaptation of "The Cat in the Hat", it has some funny bits (Employees Must Wash Hands Constantly). There is plenty of it that is really not particularly appropriate…

I just love this place.

Nice one.

Also children getting massacred, generals being killed by their own troops, and, let's see, execution as spectacle. Am I leaving anything out?

Several of the movies involve entire planets and everyone on them being destroyed, also torture (mostly off screen). They are only "light" if you ignore that.

How was it possible for anyone living on this planet and actually interested in seeing this movie to go into it "completely blank". That would be completely blank, except for being aware of the entirety of the canon already in existence, which includes knowing that we never heard from these people again (as you point…

Perhaps applied ironically?

State car of New Hampshire, I think. At least mine does not feel at all lonely when I'm up there.

That's when I switch to America and the Courts: Supreme Court Oral Arguments on CSPAN. Also, my life is sad

I actually have a radio in the house, so I can listen even if I'm not running errands, but yes, starting with On the Media at 6:00 am.

I am just going to go in assuming they all die, so I won't be too upset when they all die. I figured from the beginning that this was a story about people who pretty much all die.

Very nice.

Right you are. I still assume they die because they are not characters in ANH (except for the ones from the trailer who are).

I assume they have too, since we are told in ANH that they died getting the plans.

The images are great. Will fit right in in my family.

Whoa. Even the trailer is a bad parody of itself. I can't believe that's for a real movie.

He did not create that card. It was assembled from his drawings. He was a naturalist and biologist who drew and documented many species. He is best known for his work on microscopic diatoms. His work is really detailed and beautiful.

The Victorians loved them some frogs, but I am not positive the frog armed robbery one is real (I love it anyway, but still). The source is just some guy's Twitter feed. Also, I hate that I am frickin' checking sources on throw away stories about Victorian Christmas cards, but such is the world we live in I guess.
