PR Kaiju question: Did they become the dinosaurs or did they abort invasion during the Jurassic or whatever?
I thought the latter, but I'm surprised by the number of people who thought the former (and then hate it).
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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

I believe they were the dinosaurs and died off because of whatever the heck killed the dinos.

I didn't realize what thread it was and thought that somehow Project Runway was doing a kaiju challenge.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dammit, I can't read whitefont on my phone. of course, the laptop is right there.

I thought the second. The first never occurred to me.

The first didn't occur to me either. It has been pointed out that it'd explain the bullshit two brain dinosaur thing, but someone else said that was a shoutout to Godzilla, because he had two brains.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On Vince Gilligan's recommendation, I watched Sweet Smell of Success, and holy shit, it was great. So refreshingly immoral!

So I saw Pacific Rim today--went all-in on 3D/IMAX. Which meant I ended the movie with a bit of a headache, but it wasn't too bad. And it sure made everything seem BIG AND LOUD. Holy cow, so loud.
And hey, that was Max Martini as Australian Dude's dad. I've always liked him, it's weird he's now playing fathers.
I had gone in with the impression that there was no romance in the story, based on a snippet of interview with del Toro. So I was surprised when the romancey bits came up. Not unhappy, but a bit surprised. I would have liked it more if Mako had gotten to have more agency. She was good at what she did, but it didn't feel like she was much in charge of anything, really. And more than one woman in the movie would have been very nice. There was no reason one of the scientists, or more of the technical staff, couldn't have been women. Or even Ron Perlman's role!
Oh, speaking of which, I did get the feeling that maybe the guy who wrote Sharknado had seen an early edit of Pacific Rim... Heh.
