I understand the satire part but it's pretty dumb to refuse to adapt the story of the book when you could literally slap another title on the movie and change nothing.

Also lol at "Heinlein was a fascist!!!!!!" He was a book author. Call me when he murders 12 million people.

You mad bro?

Authorial intent matters plenty but Heinlein didn't pursue fascism with his authorial intent. He pursued free love and freedom from Christian moral authority because he found it so stifling, not that anyone here except the self professed fan has touched on it much.

If you people can come up with textual examples supporting your points than go right ahead, it'll give us something fun to talk about. But if posters are going to pull "Heinlein was a fascist!" with no support than I'll take it as seriously as it deserves -- which is not at all.

Come on now, we all took high school English right?

True, but Tippet really takes it to another level. I don't think I've ever seen the guy crack a smile in the last 20 years, and his whole attitude during the few interviews he gives is ".... why am I talking to you god-drat plebs?" He's like an american Alan Moore.

Wrestling plus THE WIZARD, I couldn't help but check out this trainwreck. Josh is talking about how mad he is that vinyl is too popular and he can't wait for it to die down, so only the real vinyl fans will care again. Also Josh is huge into wrestling. Like a magnet for everything terrible.

The Happening was loving hilarious

(That’s another thing: The most important location in this movie is a Krispy Kreme. And this isn’t a situation where it had to be a business, so why not just use a real company and make some money off of it in the process. The huge MacGuffin in the movie is at a Krispy Kreme. There’s even a scene in which Rita Replusa stops to eat a Krispy Kreme donut and we, as the audience, just watch her eat it. Corporate product placement doesn’t bother me that much, but at least try to incorporate it into the story.)

Why do people keep weirdly insisting that goons think Josh/Jack/Max Landis or whoever are annoying because they themselves are all simultaneously Josh, Jack and Max Landis and not because sometimes those people can be annoying and also people have different tastes? It's almost like they're taking it personally because they're the ones who identify with those people.
