Bowie is certainly the obvious choice. Nonetheless, I always thought there should have been a villain in "Across the Universe" who sang only Rolling Stones songs.

It's very understated, as I said, but it's basically the formation of the Man With No Name character.

"The Good, The Bad & The Ugly." Pretty understated about its prequel-ness, though.

Nah it isn't. Smell ya later dude

I never said you did, I said you gave the impression you did.

Yo, thrillhou! Cool it. I don't like feeling angry at anyone with a Simpsons reference for a name.

Unless you're eating it with gigantic chopsticks. When the Japanese had to solve their sushi's structural integrity problems, they turned to chopsticks.

Don't forget, Honda actually ACTED in "Stray Dog," where he played the killer in the ending chase scene.

…Well that was strangely civil.

Yeah, you get me! I love Christopher Lee, but they should have held onto Maul. Christopher Lee was just playing himself.

If I had my way, the prequels would just be four hours of Watto doing cool hoodrat shit.

I think Darth Maul showed that George Lucas (at least at the start of the prequel era) still had an eye for the iconic. Episode 1 actually had a lot of great set pieces and designs—if Darth Maul hadn't been completely wasted, he'd be a classic icon in the way that Darth Vader's helmet is an icon.

This is true. I laugh every time Clint Eastwood does anything in "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" because he's just so cool.

You forgot the HEHEHE

They might be letting us think Chilton is dead so it looks like they've set a precedent for contradicting the books—perhaps they want us to think "anything goes" so that we believe Will has actually killed Freddie.

There seem to be a lot of long cons on TV this season that threaten to undermine the narrative of their shows. If anybody here watches "Vikings," Floki's faux-betrayal arc walks the same line that Will is currently treading. It's that weird balance where the audience isn't sure whether the character is being sincere…

I really wanna make a movie like this and market it to fundamentalist audiences, but end it with the Smug Atheist Professor winning. I want to see the audience reaction.

It worked for Moral Orel, why can't it work for The Simpsons?

Hey now son. You don't need to tell Gunnar what Nordic is
