It’s like they hired a frat to run their marketing department.

I read that Strawberry was cast to be female, which I’m guessing means they’ll have her male mate be the one caught in a snare and killed at Cowslip’s warren. She could join the regular crew as one doe, but they’d still want more to grow Watership into the warren that Hazel envisions. Hyzenthlay and Thethuthinnang…

I totally agree with you. It is the Odyssey and while I read it when I was around ten or twelve and loved it, I wouldn’t really categorize it as a specifically kids book either. I will say, though, that the violence is of the kind that I think having a kid read it will basically be a lesson in “the world is not always…

I think the author once said something like this:

is it though? I feel like when it first came out it really wasn’t advertised as such but because it was about animals people decided it was for kids.

I logged into my gmail, using my 2-step authenticator on my phone, so I could dig out my kinja key, so that I could comment on this article. That’s how protective I am of Watership Down.

No, don’t remake it! Trick children into watching the original! Laugh at their broken tears! IT’S HOW THEY LEARN.

What do you think astronauts do? All they do is romance aliens while having laser battles. They just have to tell us that they sit in a metal box in the sky doing math because the alien laser romances are classified.

Having witnessed that on several occasions for Welsh Pony breeding, you don't get paid enough.

Whoa, who said anything about astronauts? I wanted to be a SPACEMAN, with laser guns and aliens and shit.

Caged? For artificial insemination? Coward! Sissy!

Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life.

When I was 8, I wanted to be a spaceman. Do you have any how many math classes that requires? Kids are stupid.

Confession: I’m a decently-paid lawyer with plenty of job security, and I’m still thinking about maybe doing some locksmithing on the side, based purely on my experience rekeying locks at Home Depot for a couple of years in college.

It’s important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That’s why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.

So people can be entertained by watching two fat people fighting (litterally) over food...

That, my friends, is why he’s winning the nomination.
