I introduced my mother to the One Piece live-action show. She just texted me "I don't like Dracule Mihawk." I replied, "he looks like Aurileo Voltaire" and added this picture to the text. I provided no further explanation. I doubt my mother knows who Aurileo Voltaire is. But it's true.

People are posting meme poems about the idea that there should be more movies based on poems. This is kind of frustrating because there is a lot of poetry that would make for very interesting movies. Some of these have been previously adapted but often not well:

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
