MOVIE REVIEWS: DON’T LOOK UP, OPERATION FORTUNE, THE LAKE (some spoilers)

Figure 1 – Don’t Look Up poster I really like movies, if you couldn’t already tell. I enjoy watching them alone, in a crowd, or just with my wife, the Beautiful & Talented Lynne Taylor Fahnestalk (unpaid plug!).

It always amuses me when people call the Lion-Turtle's appearance "convenient" or something similar.

Yep, it sure is convenient that an omnipotent, all-knowing being would appear to the One Who Is the Mystical Bridge right before he faces his Ultimate Test in the Final Days of the World. Sure is neat that the most ancient and colossal creature on the planet would choose to summon the boy who will stand in the path of the man about to burn the forests*. As ships of steel and smoke drift into the sky so they may rain fire in the blazing wake of a centennial calamity, it's impossible to comprehend why the Last Guardian of Nature Itself would choose to approach the battlefield.

Truly, questioning this plausibility of this chapter proves that you have progressed beyond childish acceptance of cartoon fairytales, and are now capable of seeing where the author's hand provided unearned aid. That's literary comprehension.

Caress Your Soul

People didn’t…touch Henry.

He was a rule of etiquette, not to be breached. He was a mother of pearl caviar spoon, held aloft between two discerning fingers, a fussy little utensil with a set of rules so as not to impart any undesirable flavor upon the roe.

But Alex had never liked caviar, and he cared fuck all that Henry was a prince.

Or, five times Alex touched Henry.

"There are so many reasons to doubt the Biblical creation story. For example... if God wants to punish us for Adam's fall, why can't he leave his other creatures out of it? The suffering endured by animals can often defy words... What did they do wrong?"

The silver lining is that there was a lot of impact glass delivered straight to everyone's doorstep.

Little jogabsha’s early dinosaur drawings

Used to always draw any dinosaur scene with a volcano and a meteor lol. The way I did the vines on the tree is kind of interesting. Love my noodly T. rex and derpy gravity defying brachiosaur (I didn’t know they lived desperate from eachother at the time)
