There’s a documentary about it somewhere. They were going to use go-motion puppets, but a few guys at ILM created a test reel of a dinosaur walking through the ILM parking lot and showed it to Spielberg.

No mention of Grossjean cutting off two different drivers and then committing an unforced error by almost spinning out on a clean track? How does this guy still have a ride?

I’m pretty sure that’s the car my Dad had when we lived in England. The timeframe is right. There’s no one left to ask because I was 5 when we left the U.K. for Canada, my sister was 2 1/2, and my brother was 6 months old. Dad died two years ago, and Mom’s Alzheimer’s is so bad she can’t remember last week.

Damn, they’re just dropping like flies over there, aren’t they?

Didn’t know Coupling was even a thing in the U.S. Obviously an American reboot wouldn’t work, it was too sexually explicit.

Crap, looks just like my basement.

The cartoon was almost too clever for its own good.

Visually, the casting looks good. I have no idea about the performers acting skills. Live action adaptations don’t seem to have a good track record, e.g. Attack on Titan, Gantz, Death Note (but that might be Netflix’s fault).

Okay, to each his own. I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and didn’t get what the fuss was about. The pacing was terrible.

Okay, I’d forgotten about that. So he’s decisively dead, then.

Okay, we’re deep in spoiler territory now, but we know he’s an alien (the same as page one of the first comic) so it would make sense that he faked it. I can’t remember if he’s alive in Hotel Oblivion or not.

Ugh, really? I mean, the infinite reboots, and remakes, and TV show adaptations, and animation adaptations are bad enough, but this kind of mental masturbation really takes it to the next level. It’s as bad as those “Untold Story” things you find on the lesser cable channels.

A movie about the making of another movie? Geez, Hollywood really loves climbing up its own asshole, doesn’t it?

They’re not necessarily in an alternate timeline.

I’m a huge fan of LIttle Shop of Horrors; I saw it live on stage in the West End in London. So you can imagine how excited I was to learn that Ashman and Menken would be writing the songs for The Little Mermaid. 

That’s right. In literary science fiction, Larry Niven claims that all time travel stories are fantasy, and then goes on to write a funny series of fantasy time travel stories.

Again, Neil Peart.

Neil Peart.

I was in university, first or second year, when that album came out, and Phil Collins was a complete unknown quantity as a solo artist. He was in Toronto promoting the album, and he came on CHUM-FM (which still played rock music back then) and they played that track.

Wait, Aina is in a game, but mishandled? Damn. Aina is my anime crush. Has been for years.
