I’d love to see a movie that actually adapts the book. Heinlein has written that the book carried through to a logical end what happens when only veterans can vote: They find a way to always be at war with something.

Hence the war with the bugs, which are everywhere, different, and just scary enough.

An actual adaptation of the book will not detract from the prior movie, which nailed the propaganda but little else.

Fight Club.

That Dust Brothers soundtrack stands well enough on its own.

I’ve been looking forward to it but don’t go to the theaters anymore really.

He goes back to Metropolis.

He owns The Daily Planet.

Examples? I’m really curious!

Or we will pull through it, jettisoning the billionaire capitalist class and learning how to survive and thrive again.

Do I believe it? Fuck no. But it’s not worth discarding the possibility. I’ve spent my life trying to be better. Others can too. And enough people trying to be better might be able to pull through.

Stressed as all hell. My job depends on the things Trump is currently trying to block. If that goes, I dunno how to pay the mortgage.

So I’m exhausted, haven’t slept well in a week. Otherwise okay. I’ve got my family and my pets. Friends to play games with.

As an atheist, this. (Also the child of drug counselors, so this still came to mind for me.)

Can I change it? No? Not worth my effort to fester over.

I can focus on those things I can change, and try to expand that area, but being upset that other people are wrong is endless.

As the one who said it was a remake of a show, I will give you that. It was peak adaptation of an older show. You’re very right there, it’s a damn good movie that stands on its own, regardless of where the idea came from.

I just liked throwing that typical argument back in the face of the writer. Hollywood keeps trying to recapture that lightning in a bottle, and gets criticized for it.

We just had The Fall Guy, too!

It was a remake of an old TV show.

I thought Hollywood was all out of ideas?!

Try roasting it. It gets a totally different flavor. Chop into florets and stem disks, toss in oil, salt, bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes.

Hundreds of Beavers.

I knew nothing about it going in other than good buzz, and it never drew me in at all. Made it about twenty minutes.

Way back in the day? My mom and I walked out of Death Becomes Her in the theater. It’s a very tonally confused movie, but the main issue was that it had been days or weeks since her mom had died.

I would never trust anything Kennedy said.

Definitely, my situation would not be normal in Minneapolis, where I was born and grew up. There it was a little more chaotic, longer lines, but still not terrible.

Minnesota hasn’t been one of those states desperately trying to keep people from voting, thankfully.

And we are trying to keep it that way.

We don’t have these issues here in Minnesota. Plenty of polling places, short lines.

Here in Duluth I live right across the street from the church that is a polling station. Never taken me more than ten minutes including the walk there and back.

He was an asshole too. But it is easier to forget running water without the audible cue.

I lived with a deaf man for a few months and one thing I noticed is he would often forget to turn off the water in the kitchen.

He didn’t watch TV at all and was not at all respectful when someone was watching or listening to something. Just constant interruptions.

I’m 50 and I hate that piece of shit.

I really dislike when people share news from local news sites like this because they very, very rarely add the context to know where the fuck it happened.

It’s worse than ragebait. It’s completely useless and adds nothing to a discussion.
