...I’m just imagining this turning into a really messed up version of Dolarhyde’s speech from Red Dragon.

“YOU OWE IT AWE!”

That’s the act of a good/concerned citizen.
The hero straight-up craps in the bag and puts it back on the shelf.

As the meme says it best...

What can I say except YIKES?

Okay, I’ve not checked out the original story there, so I’m gonna have to ask for context here. Had always thought the pinnacle of his racism went to The Horror at Red Hook - aka, the one even he looked at after and went “Holy shit...”

They’re both fine terms to apply in this context.

See, my first thought is imagining him giving that entire ‘start of the voyage’ speech to the crew. The one that is basically Ishmael’s first sign of ‘Okay, this guy MIGHT be insane’

Queequeg maybe.
Tashtego would be kind of a stretch. He’s one of the Pequod’s harpooners, but definitely more of a secondary character.

That said, given the upshot of this promotion, even Queequeg might have been dicey (let’s put it this way - one of his first scenes in the book, he’s revealed to be carrying around a…

...okay, I apparently missed one huge piece of info here. What the what? @ the Neo-Nazi serial killer connection

there’s no evidence against the idea of a revenge-obsessed whaler in 18th century New England

It was a ways back, but to this day, one of the single biggest laughs of the show for me goes to his deadpan with a very slight dash of smug delivery on the line
“But then I remembered something - I’m a naughty bitch.”

I more love the idea of them trying to issue commands to Satanic babies.
Ignoring the whole bit where Satan’s entire shtick was looking at God’s commands and going “Nah, fuck that!”

or, to paraphrase Mayor Diamond Joe Quimby:
“COMMAND? WHO ARE YOU TO COMMAND ANYTHING?!”

I’m genuinely kind of surprised there isn’t more fiction running on the theory that the modern evangelicals/the prosperity gospel are the new ‘greatest trick the devil ever pulled’

Seriously, what better way to get revenge on the guy who kicked you out than to foster a group of death-hungry, avaricious monsters in…

Actually, I’m in agreement with you. TBoH may be more purely Trevorrow, but the point I was going for is that something like JW is a better gauge of how he could fare because, like SW, there’s a lot more filters/checks/committee in play as opposed to the fact TBoH is...yeah, that’s a very unique brand of ‘what the…

More likely Trump knew trying to skip out on a bill from Disney, as is his standard practice, would end terribly for him.

We ARE, however, right on track for the Bell Riots discussed in Deep Space Nine, so...yeah...

I really, really, really don’t get the argument that people are saying there was nowhere to go after TLJ, but that seems to be where a lot of this comes from. People insisting Johnson burned Abrams’s mystery boxes, so he had to forcefully reset the board rather than try and actually do something different with the…

While it’s far from original, I’m only gonna give the Disney team just so much flak for Starkiller.

It’s dumb, but it’s not like Abrams was the first non-Lucas person to go ‘...what if they build a giant superweapon?’

(Just going from memory, I can think of at least three separate occurrences of ‘this will fuck up a…

The Book of Henry is...not a good movie, but it’s also kind of an awkward choice in comparison here, because SW and JW are both films with a lot of the proverbial ‘committee’ approach to them.
TBoH, on the other hand, is that special kind of bad movie that can only have been someone’s passion project, because no…

Hey, he was a camel with a lot of enemies. It was prettymuch open season after a point.

...I just hear a Don Draper sales pitch in my head culminating in “Death is but a door, time a window, he’ll be back!”

and I hate that I kind of want that now.
