It just doesn’t grab my attention like a fine piece of wood does. I have a bunch of mid-20th century knotty pine sitting in my room right now that I’m figuring out how to best work with.

There is absolutely nothing about this I don’t love. Amy and Nick and woodworking and welding and oh wait there’s going to be an episode about knitting, isn’t there? It’s cool, I can skip that one.

I don’t. There are only two Terminator movies that I’m aware of, and I’m confused when people claim there are more of them.

There’s Beasts of No Nation, but I don’t know how much you can talk about ‘enjoying’ that experience.

That’s a thing?!

Wait, so did they make the demo for this in Second Life?

I mean, you can probably justify it logically, it’s just a little hard to justify narratively. The book kind of just slams to a halt.

Meg showing the ant on the string is probably the single longest scene in the trailer.

Also just so you know, I can’t see whatever whiny nonsense you wrote in response, because I looked at your post and asked myself why I didn’t have you blocked yet.

I will always upvote “no more Krang.”

Fun story from my childhood: One night my brother and I had been... let’s just say we had been doing something that really puts you in the mood for a Frosty. We pull into the drive-thru at the local Wendy’s and the woman working the system tells us “I could sell you two Frosties, or I could give you a bunch of kids’…

There was the period with fake Wendy, the hot redhead who told you to eat hamburgers.

I’m sure you think that announcing how above it all makes you think you sound smart, but, it doesn’t. It makes you sound shallow and thoughtless.

That’s probably a good decision. I reread it last year because I was so excited for the movie and when I got to the end I was like “but they didn’t actually fix the problem. They did one thing and then went home.”

Why do you insist on behaving like a child all of the time?

That boy needs therapy.

This. I do contract work in high schools. I’ve had situations where the school sent us home because they forgot to tell us there was testing going on that day, or, worst case, and this wasn’t the school’s fault, the transit system didn’t tell anyone the bus lines were shutting down because of snow. I still get paid,…

Wait... are there survivors in the movie? Because in the book they save Mr. Murray and then kind of just leave with everyone on Camazozt still enslaved. It’s very weird.

The one on the right is a race car driver who went from being a contestant on a reality show to being the star of a reality show.

Yeah, Charles Wallace talking like he’s 30 years old is established pretty early on. I can’t check because I’m in the process of moving and my copy is buried in a box, but I’m pretty sure L’Engle does the thing where CW doesn’t use contractions so you know he’s precocious.
