Granted, I am not a fan of sequels and think they shouldn’t exist (which is different than a series or a set of stories), but honestly, Ready Player Two sounds like the PERFECT Sequel.   It should probably be cited in Wikipedia as the perfect example of a sequel.

Maybe the solution for law enforcement is to stop hiring so many pansy racist pussy bitches who are afraid of their own shadows because they’re black.

oof. big typo. the first sentence should have been:

Adams should be a cautionary tale for every comic strip writer everywhere, while Adams and Watterson should be help up as the ideal career path. Be yourself, build a fan base, make a lot of money, then retire and shutTFU. It’s really hard to feel nostalgic when your heroes and icons are still around putting out…

No surprise really since pretty much everyone in Trump’s circle looks like leftovers themselves.

these are sales of vehicles that aren’t getting used, so it’s unlikely these are ‘used up’ vehicles.

i hope at least that the smell display device has separate cartridges for each taste ‘tube’. Nothing like sitting down to watch some netflix and dialing up the popcorn flavor only to find out your salty tube is empty.  (and no ‘your salty tube is empty’ is neither slang, nor a euphemism)

Oh I am sure it’s a totally innocent mixup. I mean studios are always going back and adding CGI items to movies that they never plan to release, right?

So, you don’t like when a promotional video actually promotes the thing it was designed to promote?   got it.

Oh don’t get me wrong, as someone who saw both LR and SW in theatrical releases (yep, old as dirt) and who liked both films, there was NO comparison. Regardless of what came later or how opinions changed as the depth and coherence and/or lack of either/both was revealed in later films, the original Star Wars at it’s…

hopefully washed down with a nice glass of bleach.

True supporters of Trump (aka not just the people who voted for him or who are are misogynistic racist asshole douchebags like their leader), have neither shame, self-awareness, or even a modicum of cognitive thinking ability.

Musk is clearly an idiot-savant. Up until a few years ago he was better at keeping the idiot part in check. Lately? Not so much.

Wow, troll much?

Names like this (or similar, I doubt there’s ever been another name ‘like this’) are a very clear indicator that the namers have no idea how to raise a child so are completely unprepared and inadequate to do so. I think these type of names are n unconscious appeal by the parents for help, it’s a desperate act of…

“Lucas’ trick was to borrow imagery and ideas from non-genre movies...”

I went to the theatre knowing nothing about it other than that it was latest (at the time) Ghibli film, so Princess Kaguya was an unexpected delight for all the reasons you mention. I don’t think I’ve ever left a theatre with such a strong feeling of melancholia.

I think Nausicaa would have been a better recommendation that Castle, they have similar elements and style but Nausicaa predates Castle so imo it’s the more original of the two.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is another classic Miyazaki that doesn’t get as much credit as it deserves. It features some of the same type of iconic fantastical designs and elements as Castle (steampunkyish airships, strange creatures, war, not understanding the other, conflict between humans and nature, magic,…

I also appreciate how pointed and succinct it is which is really rare for a song that came out at a time when the norm for futuristic sci-fi/fantasy rock tended toward really long and rambling cryptic and/or just way to full of ridiculous expository lyrics.
