yeah 'the lego movie is an enjoyable movie' and 'the lego movie is a good example of modern self-effacing corporate marketing' aren't mutually exclusive

the "overpriced bucket of bricks" products that guy doesn't like are really the best kind of legos because they're an outlet for unstructured play and creativity. the movie even pops a blink-and-you'll-miss-it squat on model kit legos and bionicle at one point

angry_keebler posted:new cosmos 3 synopsis so stymie can have his fake outrage posts: yeah that was pretty uh, terrible i liked the part about newton, where they didn't quite say he had wasted his dumb gay life on alchemy and trying to predict the second coming of christ but it was heavily implied shame they didn't mention his chronic virginity oh, and he was voiced by cary elwes i think, which didn't really seem fitting for such an assburger

i knew nucosmos was going to be bad but i thought it was going to be bad in a flashy, tacky, over-budgeted way not in that way AND with militant atheist tilting at windmills

the big problem with that episode was that he totally glossed how orbits actually work and newton's analogy the stuff about the history of fish was all true btw

actually, i take that back brannon braga and seth mcfarlane bear the entire burden of the fate of nucosmos neil tyson is blameless in his advancement of philosophies/religions that fly in the face of his mentor's legacy and actively harms the position that he ostensibly aims to support Stymie fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Mar 24, 2014 |
