"Day 30: They still view me as something of a village idiot, not just for my inability to adapt to this primitive life of running through trees, avoiding predators and gathering edible fruits, but for my continuing difficulties mastering their language. It is a language oddly dominated by one particular word, which occurs in so many variations as to seem, to an outsider, virtually meaningless. It has no English translation."
The current Hollywood word to watch out for? Reboot. It actually creates a new increment of unoriginality beyond that already implied in "sequel" or even "remake."
I particularly enjoy the implications created by the word's origins. As somebody who does a fair amount of work on Windows computers I've come to think of re-booting as a bad thing; It's what you do when your machine fails to function properly. First you curse, then you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then you cross your fingers and hope that when everything's up and running again five minutes from now, the catastrophic problem you just experienced will have magically fixed itself. This is more or less exactly how Hollywood PR flacks use the word. Replace the phrase "computer running Windows" with "Ang Lee's Hulk" and you'll see what I mean.
