I don't hate pitbulls, but I don't think anyone with other animals or children should have one. if you have a pitbull and other animals or children, you are asking for them to be mauled.

Musicians should be drug tested just like athletes. If they're found to be on performance-enhancing drugs, their music is roved from the charts and they're banned from entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

If they started drug testing artist, they should instead make the ones who don't do drugs pay a fine.

Some people like to think that drugs make them more creative and it's very common for people to attribute any media that's even slightly weird or surreal to the creator's supposed drug use.

Acid and other psychedelic drugs should be legal. The stigma against them compared to stuff like opiates or even alcohol is insane. The world would be a better place if every drunk was tripping instead.

Musicians overall have a very high rate of addiction and drug use so there's always that connection. Kind of like how artists have a tendency to be mentally ill. Is it the mental illness or addiction that makes somebody creative or are creative people just broken by default?

ToxicSlurpee posted:Musicians overall have a very high rate of addiction and drug use so there's always that connection. The lifestyle of a touring musician is very hard. Constant travel, irregular hours, separation from stabilizing influences like family & friends can't help, and you're constantly surrounded by booze and drugs at the places you do perform. I think that's probably the biggest reason so many musicians have drug problems.

The Expanse being canceled now is the best end it could hope for. I'd rather be pissed about it "ending too soon" than watch it get drawn out and ruined.

The lot of us with advanced degrees should be barred from leadership or management positions in anything but the exact thing your degree is in for the a time corresponding to the standard amount of time it takes to get that degree. Maybe twice that. e: trimmed rambling

I loving love GoT. Me and my friend even cosplayed it at a non-halloween party once. I was Ser Loras. But gently caress me, the show should have ended at season 4. I’d have been disappointed but considering what has happened, well

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is the best movie ever made.

The rule with biopics is that it has to be a relatively unknown story, either because a large amount of time has passed or because it's just obscure and nobody knows about it. That way you can take as much poetic license as you want and prioritize making a good movie over accuracy. Any time someone makes a biopic of someone world famous and contemporary it ends up being a sanitized, by-the-numbers version of the story. Like how they made Walk the Line only a year or so after Cash died. There was no chance of presenting a full picture of who the man was under those circumstances.
