Im all for tropes where the 'desire' branches beyond the most base of drives. (Sex and wealth).

I feel like there's a really great example from a video game that's escaping me right now. It wasn't Dragon Age, because Origins and 2 definitely leaned on the sex angle. And I don't recall Inquisition's 'choice spirit' to be particularly memorable.

At the right crop, it looks like a crab claw reaching out from the wall.

The only tears I shed were while laughing my head off.

I long for the day when people stop kissing Tolkein's ass and try to make everything about him, whatever direction it goes.

Joanne Rowling. Remember, she doesn't want people to use their preferred names. Don't give her a single fucking inch. She doesn't get to be called JK either.

Idiocracy runs on the assumption smart people would plan and prepare to save the stupid people down the line. Not rule them in cyberfeudalism. I wouldn't call it prophetic personally.

Get Out is a spotlight on existing problems. That have existed for a long time, and will likely continue to exist.
