Little personal story: As a kid, I repeatedly rented an animated movie called Warriors of the Wind from my local videostore. It was fairly short and the story was confusing as if there was something missing, but I loved it regardless. One day, the videostore didn’t have it anymore since they got rid of older VHS in favour of newer ones. I was heartbroken and didn’t managed to track it down (this was way before the internet).

Fast forward about 15 years, when I had already watched Princess Mononoke and wanted to watch other movies by that studio. So I watched Nausicaa, and the longer it ran, the more I realized it was that movie from my childhood.

Turns out that a US studio had gotten the rights in the 80s and cut 23 minutes of the run time to make the story simpler, even changing names completely (Nausicaa became princess Sandra for example). This was the version I saw as a kid.

Oh yeah, totally. Forgot about that possibility. My bad.

Yep, a good relationship should just be your favourite person to spend time with that you also find sexually attractive (and vice versa).

Place I worked at some time ago made a big speech and unveiled the following company motto to a lot of confused faces: “Engagement makes awareness sustainable.”

You’d be a lot taller and probably also faster (maybe not stronger). You’d become a god-king in no time. Or be killed as a monster.

Zack Snyder.

The 20th Anniversary Edition of E.T. not only had superflous CGI E.T. scenes (no doubt inspired by Lucas), but also all guns of the federal agents were changed to walkie talkies.

Spielberg later apologized for the changes and rolled them back.

Well, at least there isn’t a narcissistic tech-billionaire around who doesn’t care about human lives and is closely associated with the government.

And Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend accused him of emotional abuse.

By all accounts, she is a beautiful, intelligent woman of color who speaks her mind. Of course racists hate her.

It’s probably done by unpaid interns anyway.

Fun fact: Flyptomuns flock to adults because they live off of crushing existential dread.

I really enjoyed The Song of Ice a Fire book series. I have made my peace with the fact that it will never be finished.

The vikings were there first (after the native Americans), so I’d go with Greater Norway.

Fun fact, Christian Bale based his portrayal of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho on Tom Cruise.

I’m an atheist, but isn’t a lot of the bible social commentary? The new testament at least, surely.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.

As a German, I’m happy it worked out so well for you! Glad to have you in our country, it’s not perfect but we’re trying!

Also reminds me of the lactokinetic in Misfits. He appeared harmless, but if you had consumed any dairy products that were still in your body, he could kill you instantly.
