If we're talking about Paul, he's the result of over ten millennia of a secret breeding program by the bene gesserit (albeit a generation earlier than planned) AND royalty.

I love Dune more than anything outside of Hitchhiker's Guide, but I don't think Paul really fits here. He's double special before the spice.

Pretty sure bird meetings start a little bit before 5am.

Right outside my bedroom window.

Probably Melon Soda. Not so much the melon cream soda though.

I insisted on calling them this throughout high school because I thought the word hoodie was dumb. Tbh I was probably annoying about it. Eventually I caved, but I still think hoodie is kind of a dumb word. So is jumper for what it's worth.

I've heard of this but never experienced it. I always got verners for an upset tummy... so now it's basically ipecac for me. Can't have any ginger ale now actually.

My friend and I saw Deep Impact in the theater, when the plan fails and the comet fragments are still going to hit earth, there is a dramatic moment when they explain to projected impact sites. One in the ocean and one ... in Canada. For whatever reason my friend and I both burst into laughter when they said Canada. The whole theater turned to glare at us.

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought a "weeb" was someone who obsessed over Japanese culture in general, not just anime. So let's say I have a degree in Japanese studies but don't geek out over anime, am I still a weeb?

I had no idea they weren't internationally renowned, but I grew up listening to 89x so I guess it would make sense that I knew of them despite being American.

On my multi-player play through Wyll fell hard for my Paladin (probably because he's a goody two-shoes) and when he asked him to dance I was like "sure let's have a fun time in face of this overwhelming catastrophe" and then after the dance was done I quickly realized it was quite a bit more than a dance. When I politely informed Wyll that I did not care for him in that way the look of hurt and betrayal he gave me... it made me wonder if I should quick reload and be gay for him, so I didn't hurt his feelings. -_- poor Wyll.

And I think this is the crux of the problem and where most of the hate comes from. You can have a good kaiju movie without Godzilla, but can you have a good Godzilla movie without Godzilla? I would argue that no, you can't. I would also argue that the monster from that movie wasn't Godzilla... it was Matthew Broderick. /rimshot

But seriously, a lot less people would have ragged on that movie had they given it a different name, but arguably a lot less people would have seen it if they had given a different name. 🤷

Oh man, let me tell you about The Flying House.

Turns out maybe my ultra-christian grandma is the reason I turned into the heathen weeb I am today!
