It’d never fly in the “aspirational” US car market, but I’d like to see a cheap car that embraces its cheapness. Skip the door panels and lets see a painted door frame. Let’s get more creative with materials. Cork for flooring and sound insulation.

Your name is apt. I rather like meat and dairy.

Lyra: What guards?

Random Writer: Shouldn’t we put the armor on the armored bears? It looks kind of wrong.

That feels like one of the only things they got right with the bears, Iorek’s armor. Iofur’s armor in comparison...where was the story’s commentary on that? It again makes me wonder if the people making this show just have no idea of what parts of the story it is important to tell, and what parts are okay to leave…

As hacked up, rushed, and overly polished-looking as the movie was, I at least always felt that adapter/director Chris Weitz fundamentally understood the soul of the book, and was doing his best to present it faithfully. As I recall, the movie has lots of little moments that are spot-on, albeit maddeningly brief. And,…

Also great:

This made me LOL. God damn it, give this show to some competent people, please, BBC. 

Well, I guess if anybody will ever doubt that a fight to the death between two gigantic (allegedly) armored polar bears could be rendered dull, now we can point them out to His Dark Materials. It was if everyone involved in its creation got bored by the concept. And the entire bear society boiled down to just two…

We literally cut away from Lyra’s story to watch Boreal come through the portal again

Agreed on most of your points. I was nervous about Iorek’s fight since he’s my fav character, and after seeing what they did I still think the movie did it better. They don’t even show Iorek’s victory really? Where’s the epic rawness of battle? The armor? They’re Panserbjorn, ffs.

You super called it, but fuck, man, the way this episode was put together was so shitty and clunky. We literally cut away from Lyra’s story to watch Boreal come through the portal again, and that’s it. It was so ridiculously stupid and unnecessary.

Expect the news segments on the Second ‘Mendment warriors who will head to Walmart, Walgreens, Wegman’s, CVS, etc this weekend just to walk around the stores with their armament fully on display (likely dressed in full camo) just “to prove a point” and something, something “vigilance”.

 Dude, some Muricans need their idiot murder toys to go get Starbucks. 

That’s just crazy. A supermarket is the best place for a shootout. You’ve got soooo many different substances, textures, and colors to hit. There are bags of flour, 2-liter bottles of pop, huge glass windows, and more. Wegmans stores are usually massive and set up with a buffet and/or restaurant, a bakery, huge…
