Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through

H.P. Hovercraft posted:

yeah kinda, he can open the hole between two places for long enough for mass other than his own body to go through

so for example he can blast seawater into a room at (human-survivable) pressure/depth

with a space suit they can do hard vacuum and implode the room and suck people into space. the later books get really weird with it

i only read the first book, i didn’t even know there were others. my favourite book in middle school because of how much i identified with the main character. i used to dream of being able to teleport away. i remember him testing himself about how much mass he was able to take at one point.

anyway the youtube red series take on the concept was i thought very well done. tw sexual assault trauma (though not the act itself i don’t think, can’t remember) but handled well i think

You could be a performing magician like in the Prestige, but instead of finding a warehouse that doesn't ask many questions you can just run out to the gallery yourself.

the second book is about his girlfriend/common-law wife, he disappears and she realizes that jumping isn't a unique ability, it is a learned skill

the third is about their daughter demanding to be properly socialized in a normal high school, and then drawing the ire of the local drug dealers

the fourth is about their daughter starting her own discount space program (if you can jump from the equator to the pole, you're not just changing position, you're also changing velocity; therefore you must be able to change velocity without changing position; therefore you can fly; therefore all you need is a space suit and an Iridium phone)

the YouTube TV show is very loosely based on the third book and is actually pretty great

I really want to know what the decision process between Fast/Furious and Fast 5 was where they were like "just crank every aspect of this to 11" instead of just making a completely new movie or franchise

like the world renowned hacker and tech guy was just a regular fuckin mechanic at one point

i still think original fast and furious is the best one because it's literally point break but cars instead of surfing and point break is one of those perfect movies.

the how did this get made podcast is past its salad days but every ep they do on a fast and furious movie is great. jason mantzoukas has a hugely complementary energy and at a similar magnitude

that's the only one i've seen since the og (which i hated at the time) and tokyo drift which i was pretty meh about and saw on tv with commercials and it was very weeacar

tanker truck hijack probably fueled my lust for fury road, if i have the timeline right
