  • Probably not the worst I ever read, but whenever a question such as this comes up my mind immediately goes to one of the Tarot books by Piers Anthony. I don’t remember which one, it was just in a pile of books people left in a dorm one time and I had nothing to read. I finished it, but I can’t tell you anything about it other than the vague recollection that I hated it.











  • I don’t think you’re really making any Americans feel bad, we’re pretty good at doing that all by ourselves. Also I’m sure plenty of people would like to leave, they just can’t for a variety of reasons. Money and very strict immigration rules (of other countries) being the top two but they’ve already been mentioned. It’s also very difficult to leave your family and move somewhere where you know virtually no one for a lot of people, even if they meet the previous requirements.

    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.



  • 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. 🤷
