What's the what on the Life of Pi book? I keep seeing the film described as the next Avatar, and while they clearly are using the "lusciousness of India" filter cranked up to 11 over FX as well as in camera, but most of what I've seen is the tiger in the boat. What are the scenes that will give it the opportunity to live up to the Blue forests?
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like most of the book was the tiger in the boat, but my memories of it are tainted by the terrible ending.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really only vaguely remember, but it ends with a scene with bureaucrats saying maybe none of the story actually happened. GEE, YOU THINK?

I could do the checking required, but I don't want my brand new shiny bubble burst.

The footnotes were really really awesome.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
That just made me laugh and laugh.
And I really want to see the version with Mr. Pickles.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was just looking at tonight's TV schedule and saw a listing for the remake, Guess Who.
I think you're undercutting the message of the original by casting Ashton Kutcher as the young man the family's daughter brings home. I mean, racists or not, who wouldn't be aghast at that?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
It was a better movie than I expected. Granted, I expected, like, nothing, but still.
