In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as Miles is arriving late to class, Dr Olivia Octavius is explaining that there could be a parallel universe where she's wearing red or wearing leather pants.

Mazerunner posted:In What the Hell Did I Just Read?, the third in the John dies at the End series, there's a brief aside early on about the character's favourite guilty pleasure movies. John's is Dude, Where's my Car?, Dave's is Weird Science, and Amy's is Twilight. Now, Amy's choice could probably get it's own huge effort post but I'm going to focus on the guys'.

Queen Combat posted:I know that "TWAIN" was named after the word meaning "never to meet," ie: "split in twain," but because it was capitalized people thought it was an acronym and made, "Technology Without An Interesting Name," and I like the acronym better. It is a made up term. The backronym I heard as a kid was "The spec Without An Interesting Name". Never the two shall meet was where the term came from but it was decided to make it a backronym from the start. It varies from story to story though. Also TWAIN was a pain in the rear end to deal with unless you did a raw TWAIN acquire from Photoshop or another TWAIN acquire application. Scanning a document used to require a CS degree. Now scanners just work.

Holy poo poo, I had successfully removed all of this knowledge from my general, everyday thoughts, and I kind of hate that now it's back in there  Yes, scanners used to be deceptively complex and troublesome. "But why won't it just work?!" is a question others have thrown at me many times, while I troubleshoot their problem.

It's more like "in a deeda dep." Maybe "in Adidas, Depp." Freddy predicted the superstardom of both Johnny Depp and high tops.

Then I noticed some Adidas in a MIA video* last night and it's all confirmation bias. But confirmation of nothing. It literally means nothing, they're shoes. *Borders

Something I just realized after having seen The Blair Witch Project for the millionth time, I realized something: there's a moment once they're lost and have to decide whether to go West or East. Mike struggles to remember which was the bad witch, the Wicked Witch of the West or the East, and that's how they decide which way to go. They were both evil, and no matter which way they go they'd be lost.

I interpret that as not knowing where the lone Wicked Witch is from.

The Wicked Witch of the East is the one that Dorothy crushed with her house at the beginning. The one that had the Ruby Slippers. The one the Munchkins sing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" over.

In the movie yes. In the book they were silver shoes. L. Frank Baum had a hardon for the gold standard which doesn't explain the silver but he was the proto Kubrick

This would have caused the US dollar to inflate insanely rapidly making it easier for farmers unless you thought about the issues affecting them for more than like 30 seconds instead of writing several novels.

There's a fairly credible theory that Alice in Wonderland was written to satirize at-the-time new concepts in mathemetics. Which would make it essentially one big nerd-rage about something changing because he didn't like it.

That is indeed what I had in mind. A lot of Alice in Wonderland iirc is parodies of then-current education like memorisation and dictation.
