    Huh.

    Cutem is Latin for "skin, hide, leather, pelt, felt". Does cutie mark literally mean a mark on the hide?

    Mythological Resonance

    Today, Overly Sarcastic Productions came out with this. It is a discussion of the god Dionysus and the transition of his representation, from underworld ruler of all, through being the god of destructive madness, to being the god of fun times and parties.

    The parallels to Discord cannot be ignored.

    Late to the party.

    So, a couple of months ago, I heard for the first time the lyrics to Canterlot Camelot:

    It's true! It's true! The crown has made it clear
    The climate must be perfect all the year

    A law was made a distant moon ago here:
    July and August cannot be too hot
    And there's a legal limit to the snow here
    In Camelot
    The winter is forbidden till December

So, I just saw the Last Jedi... · 8:47pm Dec 16th, 2017

And a couple of things popped out at me:

1) Old Master Luke is every anime Wise Old Mentor trope. Including the comedy ones.

2) If Quentin Tarantino can be called a foot fetishist for the number of times that he focuses in on them in a movie, then this movie's director, Rian Johnson, is a hand fetishist. There were so many more hand close-ups in this movie than foot close-ups in any Tarantino movie. I mean, it was getting weird.

3) Snoke is Jack Palance. I don't know how they got him, but I know Jack Palance and that was Jack Palance.

I have, of course, other thoughts, but these are, mostly, spoiler free.

Actually, Snoke was played by Andy Serkis.
