CaptainCrunch posted:Is that the one where they’re driving around with aluminum foil on the car windows, no fangs, but the vamps are REALLY flammable? Yeah, the lack of fangs is a little weird, but I thought the aluminum foil was a nice touch. It was neat watching this years later because now I recognize all the Bigalow/Cameron actors like the ‘’your clothes and your motorcycle” guy from Terminator 2 and Vasquez from Aliens. And how have these guys survived hundreds of years and they still get surprised by sunrise. Daylight savings time must really screw them up every year.

Hey, take your own drat advice! I just watched Batman Begins and I had no idea what was coming up in the sequel. Was saving that for a special occasion, but now, what's the point. Also, reminder to tag your pomegranate pictures as "gore".

In Pineapple Express, Kevin Corrigan is always complaining that Craig Robinson is keeping him from going home to his wife (I can't remember the character names sorry). But also, Danny McBride is waiting for his wife to come home. I propose to you that they are each others' wives, and the whole taped-to-a-chair torture is a sex game to them.

The three girls that swoon around Gaston are credited as "the bimbettes," as in they are like bimbos but diminutive. Gross.

Baron von Eevl posted:The three girls that swoon around Gaston are credited as "the bimbettes," as in they are like bimbos but diminutive. Gross. I’m not going to argue that calling them “Bimbettes” isn’t gross, because it is. However, the “ette” suffix is not diminutive, but feminine, and “bimbo” was originally masculine. Additionally, their names are Paulette, Laurette, and Claudette, so the “ette” is probably just from that. Something good that the live-action movie did was call them Village Lasses instead of Bimbettes.

Super weird how the only one of these three terms that developed into an endearing and debatably positive title is the one that's exclusively used to refer to men. Total coincidences are crazy like that.

Tolkien deciding that he needed to figure out a bunch of character names in the "original" language of Middle-Earth, since obviously the characters weren't diegetically speaking English, is the most endearingly dorky thing in the history of the world

JRRT seemed like a nice old chap:quote:At long last, after the three volumes were successfully launched, he became what [C.S.] Lewis called ‘cock-a-hoop’ and talked with great enthusiasm of the fate of the pirated paperback version and the astonishing growth of the Tolkien cult. He enjoyed receiving letters in Elvish from boys at Winchester and from knowing that they were using it as a secret language. He was overwhelmed by his fan mail and would-be visitors. It was wonderful to have at long last plenty of money, more than he knew what to do with. He once began a meeting with me by saying: ‘I’ve been a poor man all my life, but now for the first time I’ve a lot of money. Would you like some?’

Look all I'm saying is that I trust Tolkien and he thought o was a masculine ending and a was a feminine ending so it would be bimbos and bimbas and yes little ones would be bimbettes.

I never knew Bimbo was gender neutral, but it does make sense now that Ray referred time Vigo the Carpathian as “the bimbo with the baby.”
