Guys, returning briefly from my exile because I need very important opinions. 10 minutes before an interview before my promotion, I found a heads-up penny. GOOD LUCK, right? Except, the penny is sticky fron an unknown substance. What’s the consensus here? Does the ick factor outweigh the heads-up factor on the luck scale?
Is it that black slime from Prometheus? If so, then you might want to wash your hands 1,000 times.
On no, I got Donna in your Darko!
It is lucky, but now you are infected with an alien squid baby. So, I guess it all washes out. (GOOD LUCK)
Probably an ass penny:

I don’t even need to click that link to know what it is. And you know what? I think you’re right. Kids have probably even played with those ass pennies.
“Paramount has taken the unusual step of hiring Prometheus scriptwriter Damon Lindelof to rework the film’s third act.”
“This movie doesn’t have enough magical science-type gobbledygook. Get me Lindelof!” – movie executives
I know, right? When I read that I actually said “Oh no!” out loud.
It’s a shame because World War Z is actually a pretty fantastic book.
AGREED. Everyone, just read the book. The book is good! Or, listen to it on tape! John Turturro is involved! He is great! Just say no to Lindelof!
I’ve heard the audiobook for this is great! Maybe they should just play that in the theaters with a completely black screen. That’s artsy and edgy, Brad Pitt will love it.
How long do we think it’s going to be before people who make movies wise up to the fact that Lindelof is an actual and utter hack?
That would require for there to be a God. So we probably have to wait until the sequel to Prometheus arrives, if not longer.
The audio book has a ton of voice talent. I cant’ remember the long list and someone already mentioned John Turturro, but the one I always recall is Henry Rollins.
I think the mistake was trying to get this sprawling story told in one film. It’s really just a collection of vignettes from survivors.
My preference would have been something like the BBC Sherlock series– one and a half hour episode/mini-movie for each chapter in the book. Budget $5-10 million per episode, like Game of Thrones.
I will never be able to wrap my head around a movie making $200 million and being a flop, I will probably never see $200 million in my life
Not with that attitude.
I love John Mulaney’s joke about studios spending $100 million to make a film and he’s all like, “Yeah, uh, you didn’t need to make a movie with that money. I would’ve bought a ticket just to see $100 million.”
Lindelof has been brought in to rework the third act?? That’s the worst act for him to rework! He is TERRIBLE at third acts!!
