For me, it’s Woody Allen. :(

Which also explains why Dune will never be accurately transferred to film. There’s a ton of internal exposition that is necessary to the story, that you can’t show visually. I suppose this holds true for a lot of other books, too.

I think I can now quantify why I stopped watching this show. It’s set in a world populated exclusively by sadists.

Yeah, it’s like the Apple definition of ‘courage’.

How on Earth can they make a live-action Dumbo in this day and age? At its core, it’s a horrific tale of animal abuse. Not to mention the scenes of overt racism (the crows) and alcohol abuse. And it’s only about 80 minutes long! Good luck to the writers is all I can say.

They’re not Christians. They don’t follow the teachings of Christ (like love thy neighbour) and I doubt they’ve even read any of the New Testament. They’re some weird American cult that thinks the Old Testament is literal.

Yes, it’s set sometime during the Vietnam war.

We named my first cat L.P., after Launchpad McQuack. Miss you, buddy!

Sounds like Niven to me. He always was creative with his swear words. I seem to remember someone shouting, “Censor you!” as an insult.

The Darkhawk thing isn’t much of a clue because the toy lines rarely match the movies. The set from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie included Nova to round out the set, and the build-a-character was Groot.

She has a sister named Ben?

Short answer: because comics. Reasonable answer: he was experimented on and cybernetically enhanced, so expect him to be much stronger than his body-type would seem.

Dean Caine seems almost deliriously happy to have work again.

Does anyone see anything beating Arrival? It’s easily the best hard SF movie I’ve seen in years. Everything else is fantasy or science fantasy, and the hard SF deserves a break.

Tears of joy.

How could you guys forget this?

I thought the really cool part was the cockpit rig. It must have been a blast to play the pilots of the starfighters; looking at the actual CG shots from the cockpit POV.

The alt-right must be boycotting the shit out of this show.

That picture of Mellisa Beniost at the women’s march needs to be posted right here.

I AM GROOT!
