About fifteen minutes in, I realized I was watching a live-action anime.

Orlando got a PG-13 in 1992 and included a fairly long full-frontal nude shot of Tilda Swinton.

Not for want of trying, though. Trump is so good at getting free press by keeping himself in the news cycle that, for all his talk of being rich enough to fund his own campaign, he didn't even buy an ad until a week or so from the Iowa caucuses (If I remember correctly).

Absolutely! About two thirds of the way through, that thought hit me and really set everything into place for me.

Oh, please please please. I didn't know how badly I wanted this until now.

Blu-Ray players are increasingly cheap.

That makes a lot of sense, actually. Transitioning from a Galactic Empire into a tense two-state situation. There's a whole lot of room for potentially very intense storytelling if there's some kind of a proxy war/state-funded guerilla efforts going on… uff da.

The MCU started off incredibly exciting to me (at the time of Iron Man it was such a new idea!). Then I got burned out on them, then excited again, and now am currently burned out yet again.

On the subject of the not-Rebel, Resistance deal, I'm still confused by what exactly the governmental situation was supposed to be. So, there's a new Republic? Got that, but where is this resource- and recruitment-rich First Order coming from? All the dialogue made it look like the First Order was some kind of fringe…

It's always interesting to me who people think of when they think of people who always are visibly Acting. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of consensus.

The title alone makes me want to read the book. One of Us. Not a distant, unknowable, unpredictable evil. A person who took a not uncommon ideology and hatred to a violent extreme.

One of my favorite things about the three is how wildly varied people's rankings of them are. For me, it's 1. Shaun, 2. World's End, 3. Hot Fuzz, but Hot Fuzz is a very distant third. It just doesn't do anything for me after the first 20 minutes.

Flannery O'Connor is the first one who leaps to mind.

I had what I think was a slightly pained expression on my face the whole time. I don't necessarily think the episode was bad, but it was decidedly not for me.

I genuinely liked Only God Forgives. Maybe if I had bought a ticket or gone in with different expectations, I would have hated it, but I saw it after all the Cannes backlash and didn't really expect much. That seemed to help.

I was a great fan of the Redwall books as a child, which I think pretty much guaranteed I'd never see any other description of food as "too much."

I'm very much in agreement about the effect of the writing. Events (generally speaking) tend to happen very organically, and that slow buildup and sense of atmosphere are among my favorite things about the books.

I love how both your and Wad's comments have (at the moment) the same number of upvotes, but from different people.

Interesting Times cracked me up more than any book I've ever read. I was audibly giggling like mad when I read it.

I don't know, Onion getting his hands on the replicator and burying the town in those identical chunks of metal and glass we call "cars," all out of spite over a petty and insignificant little toy (could we call it an idol? we could) that means everything to him because it resembles an absent power figure…
