Making Hannibal female wouldn't have improved the film one bit, nor made it more feminist. It would have just made it about women more. So I see where complaints come from.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Eric Stolz as Marty McFly. I had no idea they shot 5 weeks with him in the role. I couldn't picture it before seeing the footage and I can't really picture it after.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Didn't have a clue about that le nub. And that footage is just wrong. I don't know if it is because it became such an iconic role for Micheal J Fox or if Eric really was just wrong.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If they'd gone with "Buffy", does that mean we'd have had Yoda the Vampire Slayer ?
And Spike telling Angel, "You were my sire, man! My Buffy!"

I only just realized why the hotel for Cobb and Mal's anniversary hotel room was trashed. Even after I finally caught and understood the dialogue where Mal said that she had framed him for her murder if he didn't jump with her.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I do kind of wish Darth Vader had had a lava moat.

It seems like Lucas wanted to have a sci-fi Lord of the Rings.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Most things would be better with a lava moat.
And I`m glad that Inception came back up, because we had this conversation in meatspace, but I don`t think we did it here. What would you chose as your totem? We have a small set of brass African musicians that I think would work. They`re unexpectedly heavy and they were handmade, so the detail on one would not be recreatable without some quality time with it. Small enough to carry with me, emotionally resonant, and unique. But there`s no action associated with them, like the top or weighted dice. So, hmmm.

I'm not sure how the totems really work, but I have an ugly face piece of clay about the size of a silver dollar, and maybe in dreams it would be smushable enough to change the expression to happy?
I read a fic where Mal had a Happy Meals wind-up dino that was broken IRL.
