Ever since I first read about this idea it's been creeping in and aspects of it or offshoots from it seem to be seeping through all sorts of cracks or open spaces in my thoughts, and bleeding subtly into how I approach some ideas and stories.

This looks great. No link to the book? (You've spoiled me in the past! Now I complain when it's not handed to me on a silver platter!)

The first musical number shot on the surface of Mars? I'm into it.

I also thought of Bernard. And then of Timequake, written (with that semiautobiographical flare Kurt always used) as Bernard was passing away. And then I thought of the back of the book,

Yeah. Before the videodisk, I remember the big deal was, mom and dad would take us out to this place called Dave's TV Repair (video rental companies did not exist) and Dave was actually a guy we knew and chatted with who worked there, who looked like a tired John Denver. We would rent a VCR for the weekend, along with…

Right?! Me too! (I was about to reply and say that when I realized someone else had!)

Oh, oh. Like that skull that wrote Hamlet.

I don't mean to leap on your (maybe offhand) comment about your childhood, but maybe so! I was at that age pretty insular and dependent on my parents, too young to be resentful and (at the time) too introverted to make more than a small handful of friends (mostly, I was just really young... 5? 6?) and so the end for…

This looks to me like implementation of the old adage "We do not negotiate with terrorists."

I loved Time Bandits as a kid until the last five minutes of the movie.

Phone booths are only used these days for calling cabs, 911, and for receiving mysterious calls as some sort of hobo/wino underground network, right? So probably a Radio Cab showed up and took the blob home.

Is the artist from Portland? A lot of these look like they're probably Portland, but only the PCPA building was recognizable instantly for me.

From and still in. (Though I hope not to be here forever. How boring! Even if it is lovely here.)

So it's well cast? Playing to actors' strengths?

Every stunning view of Saturn restores my sense of wonder.

I totally agree, and yet, for some reason, if I had to name the top 5 coolest-looking spaceship designs ever, the Millennium Falcon is on that list.

He is playing a former-test pilot and seasoned veteran who has been trained extremely well to handle situations like this. She is new to the program and only there as a civilian specialist. It's his job to instruct her and to keep the mission running smoothly.

I have to agree. This really reads like two catty viewers looking for stuff to nitpick. It's completely fair if a movie didn't excite you the way it clearly did others, but this reads one step shy of two ladies enacting Mystery Science Theatre 3000 as a sort of "owning an experience"/rising above a movie they didn't…

Positioning Jaime Lannister between "Make everyone else worse" and "A sense of humor is worth a thousand pardons."

It's about 60 seconds long and Netflix Instant Watch has the worst fast-forward interface ever but for the Enterprise theme song, ITS WORTH THE RISK.
