I think the turtle was probably the turtle from IT. Also the dead bodies in the shipping container resulting from the light switch gag was deftly subtle as far as jokes go.

I liked how he was kind of an ass to his parents while coming out. The whole family is disfunctional and Bobby can act just as badly as they do.
I was thinking Mary I too.
One thing I’ve noticed is tone matters. A lot of people get defensive because either they hadn’t actually considered it before or they didn’t expect a conversation with give and take vs head nodding. Also, people don’t seem to like leaving things in an agree to disagree place. I can’t tell if that’s changed in society…
Ha, me? I’m an idiot. In my view, it’s a modern The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Fantasy is shifting to science fiction. It has religious overtones but viewed through with modern sensibilities. You get a taste of the rise of early feminism, growing interest in the scientific (the atomic age/physics), lots of big…
It might be helpful to think of them as clear examples of a time period, a style, a theme, or a genre. There might be other books out there that a person enjoys more but typically a Classic offers the reader a foundation. It gives you a baseline to compare things or to branch off on your own? Just kinda thinking out…
It sort of felt like they were picking songs that would be on June’s Ipod shuffle playlist.
Some folks did a fun break down of the cussing if you’re interested... https://www.reddit.com/r/americangods/comments/6gliam/what_does_mad_sweeney_yell_in_the_road_in_episode/?st=j3uokhdy&sh=ff2bedbe
“According to John’s narration, Owen is a remarkable boy in many ways; he believes himself to be God’s instrument and sets out to fulfill the fate he has prophesied for himself.” That tracks, hadn’t read so I had to look it up when I’d seen it mentioned earlier.
I’m leaning towards no on question 1. More so because the person is a public figure and it doesn’t look like it’s based on another person’s photograph of the celebrity. This is a helpful link in that regard: http://www.owe.com/resources/legalities/7-issues-regarding-use-someones-likeness/
She sacrificed herself to the buffalo spirit as an offering much as the mastadon god did. Another tribe member was the one who slapped the food away, his character works as a member of the old guard too ingrained to move on. In the end it was the children who were adaptable enough to move on to the new belief system.
It’s a screengrab of the vid, I’m guessing it’s mostly post and lighting of the teaser to blame. Probably done on the cheap. If I had to guess, she somehow got matched to the values of the pinks in background. You’ll notice the dogs noses aren’t true black so someone was adjusting things for that flat daytime tv look…
I think your view of Dallas is a little harsh and diminishes the subversiveness. Dallas acts heroically. The problem is he fails and dooms them all. He cares about his crew and does go into the ducts himself. He’s a leader but he didn’t make the right choices. Which is why people make rule books to plan for these…
Loved her on that. Really glad I found those podcasts. I’m always impressed by people who can clearly articulate their inner thoughts in writing and off the cuff in a discussion. As well as being funny. Somewhere between my inner monologue and my mouth or keyboard it all turns to garbage. I guess it’s up to some…
I’m not sure. A lot of the GIRLS backlash seems to point to a lack of adaptation. Seems to be a matter of folks picking and choosing their anti-hero. Maybe it’s when fiction hits too close to home. Banal awfulness vs grand revenge / power fantasies. I guess it depends on what you hope to get out of reading or watching…
Interesting. I read a bunch of her novels when I was younger so they’re a bit fuzzy. Do you think this overlaps with the inability of some people to consume fiction featuring unlikeable characters? I went to an catholic all boys school so our lit was heavy on the Classics. I think I liked her books because they…
Ha. It wasn’t really an answer so much as more factors to add into the math problem of deep sea zombies. I wonder if their brain case would pop at such deep sea pressures as they go walking across the abyssal plains. Plus they’d probably get stuck in the mud. Plus the bones would disolve. Can a zombie survive if the…
Hmm-
Your heart’s on the left side of the chest so I had that down. Weird how you can sort of forget where your organs are. Like I know where my lungs are but I’m a bit fuzzy practically speaking as to how far down they go.
