I saw that in the theater, when I was waaaay too young for it. I've got it on DVD now, and it is indeed excellent. Also, holy poo poo there's a Criterion release on blu-ray?!?

^^ Larry wasn't playing a rhobit like Robby Pat! I just remembered since I got an xbox series x I actually have a blu-ray player again! I should watch some of my blu-rays again, altho they were pre-4K. Criterion owns bones.

It’s kind of a testament to how good Blu-ray as a format is when companies like Criterion and Vinegar Syndrome can make movies look so goddamn good on a disc from 2006 made for TVs without HDR and in resolutions half of todays standard.

https://twitter.com/Gizmodo/status/1487105210040274946quote:“Cage’s pet crow is named Hoogan and lives in the actor’s Las Vegas home inside a geodesic dome. According to Cage, ‘He has taken to calling me names…it’s comical, at least, it is to me. When I leave the room, he’ll say, ‘Bye,’ and then go, ‘rear end.’ Crows are very intelligent. And I like their appearance, the Edgar Allan Poe aspect. I like the goth element. I am a goth.’”

Raskolnikov38 posted:hey what did the giant rear end army do before they discovered the bugs anyway so this is kinda secondhand but iirc in the book the huge new world govmnt was set up after something called the "veteran wars" where vets from wars thought the young whippersnappers were becoming too soft and corrupt and only caring about personal gain and not enough about society and blah blah, so they rebelled and somehow conquered the world. after that they setup a government system where you can only participate (be a citizen) after you served x years in the military, and everyone that didn't (civilians) can't. to actually answer your question, i don't remember this being actually covered where i saw the summary, but i think it was just... there? either that, or it was locked in forever wars off-planet just to justify its existence. I can see both options being plausible though also a reminder that heinlein never served in the US military because iirc he dodged the Vietnam draft Space Kablooey fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Jan 28, 2022 |

This resulted in them having scrapes with the (many) other species out there. Basically the book's world just assumed the galaxy was full of different civilizations.

I know crows are a bit less intense than ravens, but frankly birds like that are not good pets. This is probably going to get the pet island mafia on my rear end but sometimes you just have to speak the truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccpJblDY50A
