Some state's have laws preventing state employees from having collective bargaining, which technically makes them not a union apparently.

I'll be sure to tell my mom that her teacher's union doesn't exist, then.

I thought teachers got contracts, not salaries.

Union members get contracts, yes it's true.

Because actors would be, in almost all cases, well paid, with good benefits and well protected in an industry that is neither dangerous nor damaging to their bodies?

Shinra, you're stupid.

Was that thing where Captain Jack Sparrow showed up at an elementary school to discuss mutiny with a class posted yet? Because it's awesome.

Posted here 'cause On Stranger Tides is coming out in May and the two are probably related.

So is this where we get to see humanity boil off the planet's atmosphere and start to mining the fuck out of some bullshit metal?

Well, this is "a single private company", not "all of Humanity".  So that's not really an option, in the story.  Same reason they didn't start off with boiling off the atmosphere.

If you look at the original script for Avatar, it was a lot more involved in terms of guerrilla activity and shit.  Presumably, Cameron decided to simplify and sanitize the story because he couldn't convince the studio to spend $texas on a movie that's any riskier than it needs to be.  But now, Avatar is a proven success, and Cameron has the room to get a lot darker with the sequel because he doesn't have to convince anybody that it'll make money like a midget hooker under a tablecloth.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I saw that and I was like "Oh god no, it's The Polar Express" all over again, do not want!" and then I looked at that screen of Haddock and saw the cast (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thompson and Thompson? :perfect:) and then I saw that screen of Capt. Haddock.

Now? Sort of want!

Yeah, that's not immediately awful!

I don't have much memory of the old live action movies, but I don't remember them being particularly bad...



Though Haddock kinda sorta looks like he's about to kick a Persian messenger down a well.

There few things indeed from my childhood that are more sacred to me than Tintin, so call me pleasantly surprised so far.
