Fair enough, I only saw it once years ago.
1. An annotated bible. I’m not religious but the bible shaped a lot of Western culture. The annotated edition will put things in context.
2. Complete Shakespeare with annotations for understanding language and techniques used.
3. Ovid’s Metamorphosis. Like the other two, this is a very dense book with a lot of Western culture. It will also provide a contrast to the religion of the bible.
Science books are a good idea but the Eloi don’t seem particularly interested in these things. The time traveller is already an inventor so he can probably pass a long a lot of these things himself. Medical books can be dangerous to use with zero medical knowledge, unless it is something like first aid which I’m assuming the time traveller would know (or whatever was the equivalent in his time period).
They were entertaining, yes, but he completely misses what Jar Jar was doing and why Jar Jar continued to show up in the second and third movies despite being unpopular and why Jar Jar was “the key to all of this”. Same for The Phantom Edit guy. They think they know Star Wars better than Lucas even could. There’s so many subtle details in TPM once you know how to look for them, not just Jar Jar but film lore, and I don’t understand why these so-called critics didn’t pick up on any of it despite poring over the films for hours.
Exactly. She's had all her awful fillers dissolved and had a facelift.
Remember when photographers deliberately lying on pavements and aiming their camaers upwards to upskirt women was seen as fine?
Did it? He was always Japanese-American, that's why he doesn't use a katana in The Naked Time. Takei wanted to show his American side. Unless it was a Japanese-American colony somehow?
Yes! He is easily the best thing about the film. I love how he is cat like, focused, seductive.
Are there any other films with him in which he has the same vibe?
The doll from Rugrats was white…
I think he's going to fudge it again somehow when his next film is forgettable or he will be too obsessed with getting if perfect that he’ll never do it.
DiCaprio is like Brad Pitt in that they seem to have amazing agents who get them the best scripts while their acting is mediocre.
Tarantino copies the best bits from a bunch of other directors but it gets a bit samey after a while.
DiCaprio is more overrated as he never had a trademark style.
