You can't just have your characters announce how they feel!

At first I was picturing the guy that played Robin. I'm not too good with names and faces.

Sounds like a super hero! No, wait, that's Jessica Jones. Is she "The Incredible Jessica Jones"? No, she's just "Marvel's Jessica Jones". Kind of an under-sell there. Maybe they should swap titles. Jessica James could work at Marvel in some capacity (playwright? turning comic books into off-Broadway shows?).

The "funny ha ha, or funny strange?" mizerock

Chuck Palahniuk. His writing was "all too much", but at least it was different (until it all started to be kinda the same, at least to me). I have to think he got discouraging feedback / bad grades, most of the time.

I remember something about him blowing on the horn after getting hit by a bunch of arrows.

Or maybe that was another series.

But both of them had a long sequence involving riddles. "String, or Nothing!".

Why does the flashlight app need access to my contacts list and GPS? I'd see a flashlight movie if it explained that mystery to me. Though I'm pretty sure I know the ending: "Profit".

Nothing is predetermined when you're playing games with toddlers. They make up their own rules on the fly, and cheat all the time. Right out in the open. Then they laugh and deny everything when confronted.

NEVER AGAIN

I watched a YouTube video of every single way that a conflict between two Star Wars Chess pieces could be resolved. I regret nothing.

C-3PO usually wins by tripping and accidentally killing his opponent.

how is that more efficient?

Is it the same creature that is in the poster for Okja?

No references at all? It would be such an easy laugh to do it once…

I enjoyed reading the book at the time, I figured I was the perfect demographic / audience for it. Was the protagonist often acting pretty dopey? Yep. Was he naïve? Uh huh. The writing seemed to be on the level of young adult fiction: OK by me.

The criticisms I'm reading now seem pretty obvious but it also seems

I saw the extended trailer at an IMAX theater and the high volume made the whole experience literally awesome. In the purest sense of the word. 90 minutes of that might have been overwhelming in the bad sense of the word. I saw it in 70mm at a perfectly reasonable volume and it was fantastic.

He learned that trick from his eldest son who was in the RAF but died early in the war. This was explained in a brief exchange that felt like important exposition but I don't think I fully understood what was going on.

That. Poster.

What 2017 presupposes is, maybe they didn't

I totally missed the Frenchman dying. I suspect I'm a little face-blind. Sometimes I go by hair styles, and the guy at the end asleep on the dock had a vaguely similar haircut (but it was clear right away it wasn't the same guy). I expected the Frenchman to be one of the guys on the train, and wondered where he would
