I heard Arrakis was formed from one of his bowel movements

How about the character Blade Runner's JF Sebastian was based on, from Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? At least that was how I pictured him.

Jack, if you're looking for a Euro car, you can probably find well-maintained Volvos and Bimmers of '70s and '80s vintage, but you run the risk of finicky character and hard to find parts. You're going to the Miata's home town, so you could find newer, more reliable examples with little difficulty. You could probably…

Hardigree has made an exceptionally fine replacement for Herr Wert, but who can replace you? I think not.

Bombing it to the ground and starting over may have a higher ROI, in my opinion.

Yes! I'd go that giant shithole to guinea pig myself for robot arms!

I envy you. The closest thing i have besides my 3 to an RX-8 is a Transformer Mazda licensed back in the mid '00s, turns into a purple RX with Mazdaspeed gear... Named Shockwave if you're familiar with them. Should be getting the NA Miata model kit around Thursday!

MAZDA! Ever since I got behind the wheel of the 3, I've been obsessing over everything Mazda. I've fantasized about having an FD RX-7, or an RX-8, raced Miatas and a 6 in GT5, made the 787B my phone's wallpaper, poured one out for the Wankel rotary, and I plan on buying an NA Miata scale model kit, and painting it…

I really liked the the TV fire's minor reference to The Terminator during the flashback sequence.

Sad, but true!

They don't make movies like that anymore, and probably never will again.

In a place like NYC, DC, or San Francisco Bay, I'd glady take it and not own a car in town ever again. Where I live, it'll take a concealed carry license and body armor just to ride the bus. Too shoddy and too dangerous to do otherwise.

Unfortunately, where I live, riding the bus CAN get a gun put to your head.

Neutral: I always found the historical tidbits entertaining, but the idea for Neutral sounds good. No reason we can't have both, right? And maybe a section called Clutch, for... I don't know, something.

I have two of them.

Anyone else misread "Untitled Henry Sellick Project" as "Untitled Tom Selleck Project?" He could totally rule in one of those '80s video game-themed movies. He should also try to get Burt Reynolds hired for it; those Magnum, PI royalties can't last forever, you know.

Thank you!

All smartphones cause this, but it doesn't help that the iPhone leads in the idiot pack.

Not that I actually wanted to see the whole thing, but is it so hard to film horizontally? I feel like a one-eyed idiot when they shoot vertically. Is there even a name for that besides "stupid?" Total fail.

Shifting my own gears again, I've convinced my girlfriend that spirited driving is the same as bad driving.
