Research and preparation are everything. So, various teams who’d be working on the film took three trips to islands like Fiji, Bora Bora, Tahiti, Samoa, and others to soak up as much as possible.

*Scratches Head* I mean, I get new interpretations and all, but this seems like adding paint to a finished, definitive work. I mean, would you remake The Godfather?

Goddammit.

I would pay cash money for a cross over between The Real Housewives of New Jersey *and* The Walking Dead of New Jersey.

Exactly. I do wonder what other spin-offs they might be considering. You know they have to be thinking of future ways to spin the IP.

A brilliant strategic move by his campaign. Come from a state that undercut Washington to draw Boeing to their state, to the middle of Boeing country in this state — and then give a speech where he’s likely to talk about Boeing moving jobs to China.

I wouldn’t count that as fridging since they wrote her off at her request and her death was not done just to give manpain to Worf/Sisko (it gave pain-pain to everyone, and they continued to explore her death and how it impacted her symbiote and others throughout the rest of the series). They also had built the romance…

Really, these sorts of lists should say “What show, except Firefly, did you...”

yeah I was like... summer heat waves? You do know they live in SF?

So angry

Last night I watched Willy Wonka with my parents and brother over Facetime. It was one of the movies I watched a lot as a child and growing up, my family would often quote Willy Wonka’s lines to each other. “Stop. Don’t. Come back,” was one of our favorites. Without Gene Wilder, that movie probably would have faded…

I have a feeling that he’s one of those doctors who’s only kept in business by people who started going to him 25-30 years ago when he was kinda competent. They’re all either too old to realize how shitty he is, or too lazy to care. New patients go to him once and then nope the fuck out of dodge.

I’ve been thinking a meteor would be awesome for a while now.

A huge paycheck for an executive is very, very rarely worth the expense of a staff of good, happy, talented workers with a low rate of turnover. I think that there are many companies that would have a better bottom line if they realized this.

This is the kind of heroism that literally every single American CEO should be capable of:

This is my favorite. He’s so topical.

Vox Day and the Puppies had NO idea what they unleashed when they tried to use Tingle to troll the Hugos. Tingle trolled them so hard back. It’s absolutely fucking masterful. Devilmen will never prevail. Love is real.

So I was trying to find the perfect creepy smile gif to perfectly capture my reaction to this post and instead I found this:

No, you’re right. Justineaux was black and Melanie was not. Personally, I’m cool with the swap, especially given that I was ready to side-eye when I saw the preliminary casting. It may or may not give the story a different flavor, but at least it doesn’t deplete representation.

I loved the book so much and the movie looks just as good. I can’t wait for this.
As much as I loved the book, maybe I mixed something up? (I tend to mess up/miss details with every book I read) I could have sworn Melanie was white (almost alabaster) and Helen was black. This is by no means a complaint, just a cosmetic…
