I just finished it last week and loved it but was a little disappointed cause the Obama section was so good and a skewering but the Hillary part at the end wasn't as good.

Power of Pecota posted:I thought the John Denver angle was a really curious choice since you're just not doing that better than Final Destination. I think it would have done better to just use only Annie's Song. It works when your lyrics are iterations of "Let me die in your arms" and "Let me send you my love" (You know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a loving gun, fucker!) and everyone's gonna shoot everyone, but to also do This Old Guitar and try to sell that analogy (A gun's like an instrument like a guitar), it dilutes the idea. A good example is You're Next. They chose "Looking For The Magic" by Dwight Twilly as the one song and repeat it throughout. It's the only song because it's a skipping CD (a skipping 8-track or whatever would have been fine). It repeats: "All my life I'm looking for the magic/I've been looking for the magic/Fantasize on a silly little tragic/I've been looking for the magic/In my eyes." It's catchy and it applies to multiple characters and their perspectives/wants/needs and the ideas throughout.

Hannibal (show, not movie) is so loving phenomenal and I cannot believe it ever aired on network television, even after 10PM. There is some seriously gross poo poo that goes on, and it's shot like the pretentious art movie about a serial killer of my dreams. I'm about halfway through the last season and I all wish for is someone to announce that they're going ahead with that Silence of the Lambs miniseries Fuller keeps teasing, complete with his dream casting for Clarice Starling (Ellen Page).

One of the most surreal things I ever read, and mind, the context for this was a memoir about the brutal mass rapes taking place in occupied Germany immediately after the end of WWII, was that the safest place to hide was on the second story of a building. Many Soviet troops were afraid to go up flights of stairs simply because they had never encountered them before.

Many Soviet troops were afraid to go up flights of stairs simply because they had never encountered them before. You should read about how automobiles were introduced to American society and the ensuing bloodbaths. The most common form of transportation were horses, which had an average life-span of 2 years. Best case scenario the horse just collapsed from exhaustion and died in it's tracks. Worst case scenario, it was injured and was shot dead in it's tracks. Either way, it was common for urban areas to have dead horses throughout the city, because it wasn't required for the owner to move it, and they had horse corpse cleaning corps that would get to it eventually. Imagine a city in the heat of summer with half a dozen dead horses rotting in the street. That was normal. There were no such things as playgrounds or parks for kids to play in urban areas, they played in the streets. The most they had to worry about were horses and carriages. When cars were introduced, they would go around 20mph through the city streets. People didn't look, they didn't care, so hundreds of people were getting mowed down by cars just because they didn't know what they were and the drivers didn't stop. They'd see a car coming and assume it's going to stop. The driver saw the person and assumed they'd move. Bang. Hundreds and hundreds of people, mostly kids. People's reaction: make kids play in the street more, protest by standing in the street and refusing to move (and get killed). People fought for the right for kids to be able to play in the streets and get hit by cars. It took several decades just to figure out traffic laws and how to implement them into society. It's also why they created the children's game "Red Light Green Light", but it only lowered the mortality rate by a little. People are so dumb. Ridiculously dumb.

Today some random site had a headline like "Ron Pearlman considering running for presidency in 2020" and I feel like this is just the latest of a recent string of similar headlines about people with little political background wanting to run in 2020. Is it always like this when the dems lose or did anyone just figured, if Trump can win why not me?

You can debate whether or not Bernie Sanders could have beaten Trump, but there's no way on Earth Oprah would have lost to Trump.

I would say Guardians Vol2 because it's wonderful and filled with great emotional moments, character scenes, and super stylish action beats but no one here is going to see any of that in it, so I dunno. Boss Baby. Spend money on that.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 is neat because it actually has a good villain that isn't just a generic baddy who wants to destroy [insert planet here] but someone with an actual personality and motive and stuff. Also even though the film is more of a comedy than most Marvel films the characters actually all feel distinct and not just like one sided witty one liner dispensers that all sound the same. Also one of the mid credits scenes shows that Marvel is finally going to include their best character in the MCU. To be specific Adam Warlock is probably showing up in Guardians 3. Though I suspect that they'll ease a bit on the Space Jesus with PTSD aspect of his character as the Vision seems to be a Robo Jesus and they can't really have two different Messiahs. Jim Starlin´s Warlock run is probably the best thing Marvel has ever published.
