I made a joke once that it got into the cat food. I guess I wasn’t far off. 

Written, as all good novelizations are, by Alan Dean Foster. He always tries to fill plot holes in movies with added scenes in his novelizations.

I was 39 in 2010 and very much an active movie goer, and I had NO IDEA they remade Nightmare on Elm Street. 

That first line under the title made me think Fincher directed the 2010 Nightmare, and I was like ‘huh?!?’

I was thinking that maybe he meets K2SO in prison, but I think it’s been said by the producers that the two don’t meet up until the second season. That would be kinda cool, though. Similar to how young Han met Chewie in ‘Solo’.

Forgive me. It is my last day and am feeling brazen but I never said he shouldn’t have taken the role just that he is extremely bad in it.

Hey folks. I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone here for all the kind words, and also for reading what I’ve written at The A.V. Club these past nine years. I know I wasn’t always the most consistent presence in the comments, even before the Kinja transition, but I dipped in fairly regularly, and for

So in other words, very pre-Star Wars 70s sci-fi.

I didn’t know Michael Grade was in this.

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what’s incomplete and saying: “Now, it’s complete because it’s ended here.”

Brian Blessed’s autobiography (as read by him as an audiobook!) has this beat by a mile. Because: BRIAN BLESSED

You should also consider this list is from the UK so it’s the metric system. You need to roughly triple the number then add a third to figure out where a show would be in the USA.

In Dune, the Baron’s homosexuality and corpulence are both supposed to heighten his villainy, so that book is definitely homo- (and fat-) phobic. The Baron is the only male heterosexual in all 6 books, if I recall correctly.

Like the fact that Paul is not a messiah and that his empire was just as fucked up as the one that came before

There is no director’s cut of the 1984 movie. There’s an anti-director’s cut that Lynch had nothing to do with and objected so strongly to that he had his name removed from the credits.

The bar is “root canals.”
