Bring the universe full circle -- cast Chevy Chase to replace Bill Murray. It is 2012 after all...
Hey...Thank you io9! You just posted an image that pretty much looks like the stick-up-his-arse grump that I pictured Stannis Baratheon as, rather than the guy in the screen shot:
I can't think of how the Westerosian cosmos could work scientifically. How can you get regular years but wildly varying seasons? Cosmic dust clouds between planet and sun? Surely the planet's angle of inclination can't be wobbling all around or even the Summer Islands would get winter.
Having never seen the GoT cards, Davos looks more like I pictured him than Stannis does. For some reason the picture of Stannis in my mind was drawn, with sunken cheeks, bearded. A tall gaunt individual, as if his King Robert had had all the life and fat drawn out of him. The eyes look suitable deepset, however.
Aliens vs Ewoks
But he did grow up in Queens, NYC. Most people I know who grew up in 'The Boroughs' can drop some Yiddish expressions when the need arises whether or not they are Jewish. it's just part of the cultural stew.
Spiederman doesn't sound like he should be Jewish to you?
That poster is one of the all-time greats as far as B-Movie marketing goes in spite of its completely misleading nature. I even have that poster in my file cabinet somewhere--a memorabilia collector friend gave it to me and I never had the wall space to get it framed properly. Saw the movie as a kid and loved it too. IIRC, the frog swallowing the hand only appears in an animated segment over the closing credits. My mom still holds that film against me because she had to sit out in the theater lobby with the friend I had invited along because it scared him.
To be fair, there are no giant monsters in this film, schlocky as it is. A large snapping turtle as I recall but no enormous mutations.
Did anyone else watching the River last night feel like the part 2 MotW was way too much a Poltergeist riff? I felt the spirit child was just what would have eventually become of Carole Ann had she not been retrieved from the TV people. That said, there is nothing more terrifying that a cgi monkey wearing a doll's head like a mask.
If Deckard is a replicant, wouldn't he have expired already? If Deckard isn't a replicant, shouldn't he know better than to get involved in this?
I think what creeps me out about the Lizard here is it reminds me of the half-snake guy in the sideshow from Sssssss, circa 1973.
This movie is toxic waste. Painful painful irony.
Isn't that just crushed ice and foam being pushed along the curved leading edge of a larger ice floe?
I did like in the MetLife ad how Richie Rich had managed to get Daphne away away from Fred despite his poor little kid status. The rich part works every time.
Yeah... I initially thought it was intended to be a Xavier's school/Hogwarts mash-up (which surprisingly no one attempted) but on closer inspection I didn't think it was. OK...I went to the artist's TUMBLR page and it is indeed intended as an X-Men/Harry potter mash-up.
Where the heck is that top image supposed to be taken from? It looks more like the ruin of the New York hotel in Vegas than NYC itself. Presumably, since you see one of the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge the body of water is the East River. The view has to be flopped since to be looking north from below the Brooklyn Bridge, the water would be to your right. And it looks like all the territory between midtown and Canal street is missing...
Where the heck is Jet Screamer? He may have been a one-hit wonder, but that one song hasn't left my head since childhood.
But then the moss didn't have the capacity to care about the other species it was pushing into extinction. I guess your answer depends on whether we do as human beings.
Frazetta always consulted the source material when it came to outfitting Dejah Thoris...
