Yet, strangely, not less Jordan Catalano.

OK please to explain. Because I, as I’ve said an annoying number of times already in these comments, I just read it for the first time last year. I read it specifically because of Villeneuve’s impending movie, because I love him. And I knew the book’s reputation for being “unfilmable” going in. So I found myself…

I read the book for the first time last year. I tried to watch the Lynch version afterwards. I made it about 20 minutes before turning it off in agony. Unwatchable.

I read Dune last year specifically because of Villeneuve, so he had fucking better still be making it.

I liked it a hell of a lot. I could have done with slightly less Jared Leto, but otherwise wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Yes, obviously. I don’t live under a rock. As much as I might want to right now. But this seemed so clearly fake and designed with comic intent to me.

Suddenly interested in the Jumanji cinematic universe for the first time ...

I know! I was obsessed with him growing up. I had all his books. The Widow’s Broom was my favorite. But Jumanji was my second favorite.

I hope Chris Van Allsburg got a big payday at some point of this whole shebang.

Shit, I didn’t know she had anything to do with it. Now I’ve gotta watch.

People can have permanent damage without being wheelchair bound. My friend’s knees got fucked up in a car crash and she had to give up a lot of activities as a result. She can walk, yes. But that doesn’t mean her life wasn’t changed by it. Why do you need to be a dick about this?

What is wrong with you? Video proof isn’t enough? Let me guess, you don’t believe the pussy tape is real either. I’ve been a huge Tarantino fangirl going all the way back to the beginning. But I’m not going to let that blind me to the fact that this is extraordinarily negligent behavior on his part. Clearly the…

Except this was so obviously designed to be comedy and was never intended to fool anyone. That’s like saying, stop making fun of Trump on SNL, because someone might think it’s real.

Could not agree with you more strenuously, eazy.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Oh thank god! I was actually starting to worry about my cognitive abilities.

A double might not have been able to control the car, but presumably a double refusing to do the drive would have been taken seriously, as Thurman clearly was not. I don’t know anywhere near enough to have any kind of educated input on the car or the road or the rig or anything. But it’s hard to understand why he…

Am I the only person completely incapable of following this entire thread and conversation? Do I have lead poisoning? What is going on?

Honestly, the way the piece is written, it’s impossible to tell whether these actions by Tarantino are indicative of trust, indicative of a bullying director, or something she once felt OK about and now considers a bellwether for later behavior. The way Dowd just inserts it into the second-to-last paragraph is…
