sorry previous page i loving loved this movie lmao, i express my love of this movie whenever possible in hopes of a bit of it getting back to the coen brothers somehow, i think the problem was the target demographic of "typically cursed and unlucky jew who lives in an extremely isolated and claustrophobic moderate jewish enclave in a pretty redneck area" was just too small to rocket a movie to hit status but dammit i am in that demographic and it was great.

i saw it the day after it opened at a cinema in newtown sydney and the audience was in hysterics, there were about 40 of us, we barely took up the middle row of the cinema and i'm pretty sure we were the entire "rural jew" population of east australia

I was alerted to this show's existence by a promoted Twitter ad that basically said "did you know Albert Einstein was Horny" and that was pretty good at putting me off of ever watching it.

Are you unfamiliar with the famous internet video "Zwei Madchen, Einstein"?

Okay... Keep your head, Steve boy...

From TV Tropes, because for some reason the only Wikipedia pages for the anime are in Japanese and Italian (?):

quote:

Chinyuki: Taro To Yukaina Nakama Tachi is a parody of Journey to the West, where an assassin by the name of Taro Yamada is trying to right his misdeeds by travelling with a monk. Taro's misdeeds were essentially assassinating tons of people and pooping on their graves. A monk saw him and cursed him into a baby-monkey-hybrid-thing. With the help of the Monk, Taro has to battle demons and other weird anomalies to help regain his human form.

Perfectly coiled poops are kind of a go-to standard in Japanese comedy, I think.

The design of the posters are 100% "brown people gonna get shot hell yea"

But I think the quotes are strange for those images.. There's an obvious answer to them that seems to be the oppositve of what the campaign wants..

Or am I just so far left now that when faced with "should authorities face terrorism with negotiation or force" I choose the former and that makes me a bad guy?

Makes sense imo. Pooping on a grave = desecrating same.

You're a pretty lovely assassin if you don't destroy the possibility of a draugr or zombies or what not

In my experience British Counter Terrorism basically means arresting the wrong people, jailing them for decades and also maybe letting your deep cover agents murder other deep cover agents.

Oh and sometimes you let your deep cover agents sire entire families before pulling them and sticking the mothers with the bill bit they only really reserve that for animal rights groups.

A brumby is a breed of feral Australian horse, and its name stems from Indigenous Australian word for wild, which is pronounced "baroombi." But hey, "haha, look at the unfamiliar word from another vernacular, lol."

A: Brumby is a silly word
b: If the movie was called "The Silver Baroombi" then you could play that card, but it's impossible to be racist against white Australians.

It's the one that's in common usage. You may not have noticed, but different English-speaking parts of the world develop their own type of said language, often influenced by the local language, some of which gets absorbed into that dialect as a loanword.

This is the first time in history that anyone has ever made descriptive linguistics seem more hidebound and un-fun than prescriptive, so props, I guess
