It may be less about the word itself and more because those movies have filled the role of religion in my life since I was six years old, but when I stop and really consider the name "Skywalker", the hair on the back of my neck stands up.

I'll give it up for Casanova Frankenstein. Incidentally, I've recently been buying these chocolate bars called "Cocoa Nibs", and I've made a promise to myself that I will one day write something with that as a character name.

That present-day Dreamworks logo will forever be associated with that Jurassic Park computer game Chaos Island for me.

OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO WATCH WET HOT THIS YEAR. That'll have to happen this weekend at some point. Anyway, my mind went straight to American Graffiti as well.

I rent new releases digitally all the time, but when I want to own something I go for the blu-ray.

I had a boozy conversation at a party with a friend's boyfriend about what the then-theoretical live action Pokemon movie should be a year or two ago. Our version was a duology with the first part set in prehistoric times and/or antiquity, chronicling the initial discovery of Pokemon and man's long struggle to harness…

Watched a ton of movies, all of them things i've seen many times before, but sometimes you've got to do that.

I saw the first and third films around when they came out, and I thought they were pretty all right for what they were. I can see a version of the future where the…

Continued reading The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. Continued watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. Watched The Force Awakens for the first time in a couple of months. Read a few of the Star Wars comics I've been backed up on. All of these things were super good.

That was fantastic.

Well, now I have to watch Mad Men all the way through again.

I think the difference between "alternate timeline" and "alternate universe" has to do with whether or not events are the same prior to the Kelvin incident.

I like to think that Takei Sulu isn't gay but that alternate timeline Sulu is due to some kind of inexplicable butterfly effect shit.

The throwaway line about the Franklin maybe getting captured by a giant green hand made my week.

Of course, the real mystery is why any of you would put spoilers in the comments and murder our anticipation of future episodes!

Finished the season about an hour ago. Those last two episodes wrecked me.

Started I Claudius last summer but abandoned it 130 pages or so in to read something else, I can't remember what. Definitely want to get back to it at some point, especially after reading Gore Vidal's Julian earlier this year.
