"I might do mean things and I might hurt you and I might run away but ... what was the question again?"

Did anyone else read Many Waters by Madeleine L'Engle as a kid? Super interesting take on the story with a surprisingly frank look at the more hedonistic parts of the story while still being in the YA genre.

There's also stuff like the Midrash, which are stories that connect to parts of the actual Torah but aren't considered PART of the Torah. They were written as interpretations of those stories and what happened in between the stories of the Torah as interpreted by scribes. The story of Lilith (Adam's first wife) is one…

Yeah, that was Lot. Actually, if I'm remembering it right, Noah didn't actually have daughters ... the other women on the Ark were his sons' wives.

And the reason we need to write lots and lots of female characters is so that we CAN write flawed ones without them representing every woman in that universe. If the only woman in my story was the one I mentioned above, it could easily imply that all women are heartless and would sell women into slavery to help…

Exactly. I wrote a character for a short story that was an older woman in charge of the Russian mob. She was cold, calculating, extremely good at her job and also extremely l0yal to her family. She was also in charge of a major human trafficking ring that focused on young Russian girls. She was NOT a good person, but…

Groot is already winning over my heart. He was too tall for the machine thing! AAAAAcute.

I was going to say, he really should have some kind of space accent if we're going to be getting into specifics.

And you know these are the same people who judge whether or not a victim is actually a rape victim depending on how attractive they think the victim is.

I was about to ask you that exact question you posed because HOLY CRAP, why would you bring that up during a job interview?

"And Bryan Cranston as the monster."

And I bet this one won't have Mako Mori or shirtless Charlie Hunnam in it. BOO. BOO I SAY.

Opening the word doc helps.

I'm disappointed that Sue isn't played by an actress of color, especially with Jordan as Johnny.

There's a slight possibility that they'll have Sue and Johnny be stepsiblings, which means that there would be an actual multiracial relationship in the story if only in the background.

I was thinking of TimeQuake, myself. But yeah, a LOT of Vonnegut's work goes into crazy non-linear-ness.

AKA a LOT of Vonnegut's novels.

In an interview the directors said that's what they were going for - Vitruvius was also deliberately made to look a little more scratched up than the others because he's older.

Maybe it's just green ketchup. Delicious mid-2000s Shrek-advertising green ketchup.
