Kipper Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Was browsing some Willy Wonka memes (my favorite meme), found some I thought you all might like. And lastly, because Liam Neeson is perfect for every occasion (this one I actually searched for). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I can think of is Amazon instant video, but that costs money . . .And then the all important question to Gravity Falls fans: Dipifica or Wendip?

Orlion Blight Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Don't forget iTunes! You can also find sped-up crappy versions on You-tube... so yeah... there's that. It also looks like Disney XD is going to do a marathon of them here soon... like Sunday? I don't know, I don't have cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I... not only agree but actually kinda care. The whole Wendip deal got dangerously close to being tediously annoying, whereas what we see in Northwestern Mansion Noir was fantastic. *sniff* Shame someone was cutting an onion during that episode... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually quite pleased with how they resolved the Wendip thing. To portray a friendzoning as not only normal, but healthy, is something too few shows (and books, and movies) do. And "Northwest Mansion Noir" was incredible. Pacifica went from being one of my most hated characters to one of my favorites. Her parents, on the other hand.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashadar Mistborn Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Kinda makes you wanna see exactly what's in Arts and Majesty, doesn't it?I agree with Navani on the subject of gender roles in Alethi culture. If you are a lighteyed woman, you think, if you are a male, you either hit stuff or farm, and I'm not quite sure what darkeyed women do. Roshar is not exactly enlightened.Edit: And now I'm a stormwarden, which probably the job that Alethi!me would have.

Agreed on your spoilered portion, it worked at being a nice resolution and carrying Dipper along his three-dimensional development. And I felt that way about Pacifica as well, as far as her parents... well, Bill kinda did a number on her father. I like that cartoons for kids are allowed to get away with stuff like that. And while we're talking about Weirdmageddon Part 1, the resolution of Wendip from romantic interest to friendship is essential to the development of Lil' Gideon as well, and led to one of his goons to saying one of my favorite lines, "Fighting children is boring, fighting a chaos god sounds fun! And I also have to say, I think Toby Determined is one of the most entertaining side-characters I've seen in a while.

And I also have to say, I think Toby Determined is one of the most entertaining side-characters I've seen in a while. Same here. And they got away with a lot in "Northwest Mansion Noir" especially; if that were a live-action movie, PG-13 would be the absolute lowest rating it would receive. At the time of the episode in question, and in episodes following, it also made him a nice foil for Gideon. While Dipper made a conscious decision to move on from Wendy, every subsequent appearance Gideon made had him mention how he hadn't moved on from Mabel and had no intention to. I definitely appreciated the contrast; in nearly every show I've seen before that—even shows I liked—the guy's refusal to move on from a love interest who spurned him is rewarded with the affections of the same girl who spurned him. I loved how that friendzoning didn't ruin their friendship; but was rather the beginning of it. I will call him Bodacious T. I….might not be able to stop giggling, but I'll call him Bodacious T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbereth Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Guess what I just found when looking through old notes: Apparently I took notes at the beginning of Way of Kings, before I really got into the story. This was at the bottom of those notes: (WOR spoilers) Shallan's father was clearly alive after her mother (presumably step-mother) died, and Shallan calls herself a monster.There's mention of the eyes, her mother's eyes, being horrible. I'm willing to bet that something happened when her mother died, which eventually led to her father trying to kill her brothers and Shallan herself, and thus her father died probably by her hand.

azninvasion99 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 For me, it is a day of mourning Michael Crichton died early in the morning many years ago. He was really the only "mainstream" author I liked and looked forward to each new work he released. Aww I totally forgot about this. RIP He was my favorite writer period for a long time before I started diving into fantasy. Timeline, Sphere, obviously Jurassic Park and Lost World, these are still some of my favorite books. Even his later stuff, (I loved State of Fear) was really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I've been seeing posts for a Secret Sisters Gift Exchange going around Facebook--spend $10 for a gift for someone else, get gifts from others. I always scrolled right past, hoping no one would send me a link and rope me into it. I prepared my excuses for if this happened. I did not want to get involved. Then, this morning, an acquaintance posted a link to a news story about how the whole thing is a pyramid scheme. Being an antisocial loner has its perks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
