Thank you oh Mighty Pinklage! We have heard your unnecessary words and will never again dwell upon them.

I think that there is no buzz because the trailer looks awful, regardless of its stature as a "great book". It makes no sense that you would recruit children to be officers without the context of the book, so any trailer they make will just confuse people, even if their friends were trying to get them to see it.

Upbeat song set to downbeat situation for laughs? There is no comment on the situation, just an observation with a jingle. Maybe the producers were going for dark, but they probably just hadn't seen it done dozens of times before, thus making it just silly.

Just like with The Lord of the Rings, the studios aren't trying to get the author's fans into the theater. They're trying to get everyone else into the theater. Most of those people don't even know who OSC is or how he feels about anything.

If they're going to make The Hangover: Cocoon Style, why is it PG-13? Oh wait. I think I just answered my own question.

They really missed a chance to put her in Romeo and Juliet, huh?

Ever heard of scissors?

I haven't seen whatever show you're referencing, but that sounds like pretty obvious/silly TV humor, not "humor at its darkest".

Judith could ultimately be their savior, as in the Book of Judith (not a book in the Hebrew/Protestant Bible), where Judith saves Israel by decapitating a guy. Or maybe they just liked the name Judith.

Dead people come back to life as zed-words, and you think a little reality needs to be injected into the show?

Why do people who hate a "show from the bottom of my heart" continue to watch said show?

Blatant Cash Grab?

@RedScarab You may be on to something, Re: Twelve Monkeys.

My mind initially interpreted that as Shane Vendrell, which would merge two radically different universes, but it brings up the question of when we'll see Georgia-native Walton Goggins on this show.

So I shouldn't put universally acclaimed films on a masterpiece list? Are you eagerly awaiting Grown Ups 3?

I really don't even know where to start with your unbelievably condescending post. Did you actually believe that I'm a teenager, even though I called you brilliant? Your sarcasm detector is broken. Even if I were a teenager, how can you equate someone's opinion on film to not wearing a helmet while riding a bike? Do…

I think you are the one who is dense. You don't get that SNL doesn't need to be the end-all-be-all for comedy. It can be mostly for white people, or mostly for black people, or transvestites, or Oregonians, or whatever audience the show wants to have. That is the show's choice, not yours. If they don't want a black…

How am I white-male privileging? Whatever that is. I'm saying that I relate to one person and not another due to differences. If I were a black lesbian, would saying I didn't relate to Louis C.K. mean that I was black-lesbian-privileging?

Yes, I'm a teenager. You got me with your brilliant insight. Way to go for the insult so you can easily dismiss my comment.

Goodfellas
