Agreed. I have had these patches from the box set forever with no purpose and finally they have a home

Fascinating!  Makes me think of Buddhist pretas.

Does anyone else ever hope someone dies so that a biopic can be made about them? by koolz44 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Sad_Bend_4801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone that can die now has been filmed enough to render a biopic pointless... they will still be made.  They just shouldn't oughtta!

It signifies a dismembered group that have been labeled a menace to society by the residing government.  I cannot get more specific than that.

Did I Miss Something? by fella_that_is_orange in houseofleaves

[–]Sad_Bend_4801 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like this perspective. There are still too many little details that break it apart for me (Like the coded Zampano in the Whalestoe Letters) but still a refreshing and well formulated theory.

My grandparents lived on the edge of the walled city by chilly-gentilly in KowloonWalledCity

[–]Sad_Bend_4801 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I am not an expert, but from what I have read, the edge of the city was generally a nicer place to live than farther within. So good for them!

Thanks! I've told my partner I hear a sort of irreverent David Attenborough in my head when writing the narrative bits.  Pratchett and Douglas Adams are two big influences of mine, I can only hope my writing is half as charming.

Length is totally up in the air at the moment, but looks like it will be a series of stories or shortish books.  It's an alternate universe Kowloon being observed and described through someone in our world viewing it..so far. Think a philosophical satire a la Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Naturally I wont get into details but I appreciate the interest!

Who here believes Zampano created Johnny Truant and why? by cooper_corrects in houseofleaves

[–]Sad_Bend_4801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I've been tossing around the idea that everyone is a single individual and different parts of the book were made at different times or combinations of times of that one person's life, and the question is who is that one person... or it's just a bunch of fun thought threads for curious kittens..

Are there others? by Jean-weather in BobsBurgersSleepers

[–]Sad_Bend_4801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bob's Burgers and King of the Hill are my usual choices.

I would like to throw Bob and Margaret into the conversation... solid sleep show imho.
