This strip from the New Yorker is, once again, timely as ever.

Sometimes you need something like this to detach the horror from the reality because you want to try and convey a message without breaking their brains with just how cruel things really were.

At that age, we read Night, which sounds much more mature than this, only in that it doesn’t add the element of unreality, but was still perfectly fine for 8th graders

“which sounds much more mature than this”

Might want to give Maus a read.

It it might because he played a person with Achondroplasia who kicked the shit out of some one for throwing all sorts of adorable elf stigma at him?

Soooooo.

I misread this as a Princess who goes on a rickrolling adventure, which I would absolutely pay to see

Yes he did. He has been very vocal about his disdain for the entire concept of magical or otherwise non-human “little people” in popular culture and the fantasy genre in particular. The only reason he agreed to play a “dwarf” in Infinity War was because they made the dwarf a giant, thus subverting the trope.

Same. All the behind the scenes looks at the Burton/Schumacher Batmobiles made them look like a headache to drive in real life, at best. But the Tumbler in real life looks like it would actually make you feel like you’re Batman.

So it’ll be called Atmospheric Water Phenomenon of no Particular Color and the Seven People? Can’t wait.

Yeah, that design was incredibly unique in terms of Batman. It felt like something out of Blade Runner (which, considering Nolan used that film as a reference point for Begins, was almost certainly on purpose).

The design instantly grabbed your attention and sucked you further into the movie.

Weirder things have happened.

I absolutely would call the Tumbler brilliant. Sure, it’s nothing at all like any other batmobile before or since, but in terms of in-story tactics, and out-of-universe entertainment value, watching Batman waffle stomp cars with a tank was a total blast.

Secret underground lair in an abandoned opulent subway train/station?! Sounds... TOTALLY RADICAL DUDE!!!

This was an excellent article and reflected a lot of my own feelings about the Tusken storyline (and Star Wars in general).

I had a kinja blog entry about this back before the plug was pulled on it. (boo.) As near as I can tell, without a date, it was probably written around the time the 12th Doctor opened an episode of Doctor Who with an explanation of the Bootstrap Paradox and a Capaldi Electric Guitar opening credit sequence. That…

You went with "wow" in the header when "Oh boy" was RIGHT THERE?

Bakula could return in the role that Dean Stockwell played.
