I wish he hadn't blocked me for pointing out that homophobes were already killing gay people long before gay marriage "kicked the hornet's nest" just so I could get blocked for responding to every one of these with "funny how you're never, like, 'gosh, by confirming Brett Kavanaugh you're just angering the left'."

It's also funny that Boogie is complaining about virtue signalling considering that 100% of his twitter posts are quite blatant and literal centrist virtue signalling.

There's a leading video done by a top hat cartoon avatar basically arguing that the reason why he gets too much poo poo is bc he's not offensive enough. My brain is already broken for the whole day from watching the portuguese commentariat do the Local58 Contigency video at the brazilian indigenous and lgbt community, so this seemed mild compared to it.

nothing made my heart yearn for a new Midnight Club like playing the open beta for The Crew 2, feeling how fuckin' awful and lifeless the driving was and thinking about how tight but weighty Midnight Club 3 and LA were.

Oh jeez.

Very well, yesterday it was the first round of Brazilian Elections, where asides from other candidates, the two leading ones were on a fierce competition. One is honestly a fascist, and by that, one that wants to go back to the dictatorship and pretty much has already amassed a death count by himself. Two major platforms involves the outright murder of LGBTQ folk and arming farmers on the regional areas to aid murdering the indigenous people to free up the Amazon for all sorts of industries. This is not an exaggeration, and bc of the latter, business leaders have been warming up to him and the stock market is reacting rather well to his ascension (Not yet a victory, that's going to be decided in a few weeks). Bc the second leading candidate was handpicked by a former president that is currently in jail by the current government, who pretty much had him removed bc his policies were not market friendly and by that I mean that he outright installed a bunch of policies that removed a lot of poor folk from starvation and misery, there was until recently a measure of articles and pieces made against him and comparing him to the fascist in terms of danger.

This has lead to a news broadcast here that had a commentator calmly trying to both sides while the fascist was leading with 49% of the votes on how both were bad... by calmly using the same arguments to defend him and attack the second leading one. He also had a manner of speaking that was soft and NPR-reasonable-sounding. To endorse a candidate that has pretty much promised mass murder and torture.

This the LOCAL58 - Contigency video. I hope the idea of "calmly telling segments of a populace to kill themselves to not be an inconvenience" isn't lost here.

To be fair, no one expected much of Thor 2, or any of the Thor movies. When one was good people were pleasantly surprised, but if they failed people just chuckled and moved on.

Superman is an actual -thing- for a faction of nerds. A thing in the worst way possible, in that it makes portraying him in a way that doesn't make a segment of manchildren wail in grief and outrage as hard as threading a needle that is glued to a spinning fan blade.

Couple that with a series of clashing movies by a director who thinks deconstruction is actually worldbuilding (with all hope of squaring that circle killed by studio mandates) , and with a rival franchise scoring big hits out of properties no one gave a toss about....

Thor: Ragnarok is a massive change in trajectory for the Thor movies and it's basically a third Guardians of the Galaxy film. It's a lot a fun and well worth seeing.

Oh yeah, I've seen it and it's really nice. Just saying that since people had lesser expectations, there was no -outrage- that it took two movies to reach a theme and tone that really worked for Thor. Now with Supes, people will run down the street with their hair on fire because he's a cultural icon, and the studios expect him to kick Iron Man's rear end box-office because of it.

thanks, thats thats a good phrase for it. i guess i get bored of everyone in GTA(especially 4 and 5) being able to give these big into these big introspective talks about humanity and the nature of crime and stuff. like with trevor, its funny and sometimes clever, but when loving Michael bitching for the 20th loving time, it gets old. the protags are always the smartest, yet dumbest people in the room. same with red dead, but at least their are explanations for it.

GTA is political commentary and genre trash as seen through rich libertarians.

At least these newer ones. San Andreas and those before it at least wore their influence on their shoulder and had an extremely silly tone.

i mean trevor is a mad dog psychopath but at least he was honest and loyal and doesn't pretend he is something he isn't. i could get behind Michael to an extent, He wanted out and he copped a deal with the feds and now he rots away in his own personal hell. but he is such a whiny shithead who feels like he would just go on a random mass shooting. he can't accept any blame ever. he reminds me as a less serious version of kane from kane and lynch. a self deluded shithead who hosed over everyone he comes in contact with but clings to various meaningless totems to prove he isn't a monster.

this is a fantastic description of the brave little toaster. this movie and the secret of nimh were my absolutely favorites as a kid and they both still hold up amazingly well. honestly i think i get more out of the brave little toaster now than i did as a kid.

interesting to see the different lessons the book offered from the movie while still being so close plot-wise.
