I didn't know that the same lunacy existed on the right. So I never really bought into this notion that everybody is racist — because there was a black president, you know? quote:I'm happy the #MeToo movement has slowed down a little bit. It used to be, "One hundred women can't be lying." And then it became, "One woman can't lie." And that became, "I believe all women." And then you're like, "What?" quote:Well, Louis [C.K.] and Roseanne [Barr] are the two people I know. And Roseanne was so broken up [after her show's reboot was canceled] that I got Louis to call her, even though Roseanne was very hard on Louis before that. But she was just so broken and just crying constantly. There are very few people that have gone through what they have, losing everything in a day. Of course, people will go, "What about the victims?" But you know what? The victims didn't have to go through that. more in the link including a bizarre sidetrack into calling Nanette not standup comedy

The victims didn't have to go through the consequences of sexually assaulting someone! All they had to go through was getting sexually assaulted.

In... well not really less disgusting subjects, but different disgusting subjects, it's interesting to see that the third Yu-Gi-Oh series, 5D's, got derailed by some very sad real-world events at the time. They were really building up to a cult storyline for the female lead, laying the groundwork pretty early on... only to abruptly stop when it turned out that one of the show's Japanese voice actresses was involved in an actual cult (largely as a victim, but as usual with cults it's murky). It was the sort of news story that was over by the time the news broke as far as I know, it isn't a Smallville situation, but it did lead to that voice actress being replaced, the character being (very obviously) scaled back, and the show's cult storyline just vanishing. Neither of which really help the show much at all, since the two characters affected are the two main adult female characters, and they clearly struggle to find what to do about that. Cleretic has a new favorite as of 00:38 on Nov 27, 2020 |

In Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001) one of the main characters is a passionate environmentalist, and one of the episodes is about a campaign she starts in her high school. The cause she champions isn't about reducing its carbon footprint or minimizing waste, it's that she wants the cafeteria to stop serving GMO foods even if it raises the cost of lunch. In the big meeting with the principal, she gives him a tomato to taste. He says it's fine and then she reveals that it has DNA and that there haven't been any studies on what scorpion DNA does to humans. Later, her stepdad tells her to stop causing trouble and she silences him by asking if he would fine with the new baby eating GM foods

Funnily enough that has basically zero to do with the anime but the Yu gi oh Anime and TCG have a weirdly separate relationship. Some anime cards are meta but it almost seems random in which ones.

CharlestheHammer posted:Talking about Crow and black wings Also actually very established by the time the cult stuff happened, but he did pretty well with the free space left by the rewrites. Although 5Ds is probably the series most visibly changed by the outside world, and Crow is also an example of that. They actually didn't plan to make him a main character, he was just going to be a minor recurring character who'd end up being one of the villains. But then Blackwings just loving EXPLODED in popularity once they hit the card game (they were that deadly combination of 'competitively viable' and 'cool as poo poo'), so they frantically rewrote him to be one of the main heroes and retconned a Black Wing Dragon into the legendary dragons lineup.

I remember back in college coming home drunk from a party my roommates and I all got super hooked on an all night marathon because it was the absolutely most bonkers thing we had ever seen. Started downloading the unedited Canadian episodes. I stopped when jt got stabbed to death but by then Kevin smith was practically a main character so it had definitely jumped the shark. Loved the reunion in that drake video though

Eli Stone is a weird show about a high-powered lawyer who starts to get visions from God in the form of musical numbers. It's well-acted and cute and comes to a decent conclusion after two seasons and Victor Garber is in it. But the first episode is about a woman who is convined that a vaccination gave her son autism and the show suggests she's right and that's a heck of a thing. That character and her son stick around too, though as quite minor background people. Ugh.

It's so fun to see Bochco describe how excited everyone was and how it was going to be the future of TV and then episode 1 just loving nosedives in the ratings.

mind the walrus posted:It's especially frustrating to me because whenever a comedian like Seinfeld or even Chapelle does this it's like "The gently caress do you really care? You made your bones decades ago and got to retire, and as one of the best/most successful in the field you should have seen this sort-of thing coming because it happens literally every few years. Grow up, or at least go enjoy your money without flashing your rear end in a top hat." Well, can't you imagine enjoying what you do, and wanting to keep doing it? Even though you're not forced to for economic reason?

The Beach Boys' Good to My Baby, which was very sincere.quote:They think I'm bad and I treat her so mean This was from their All-American surfing boy days, barely a year before Pet Sounds. Sorta similar to Lou Christie's Lightnin' Strikes, a giant red flag of a song. It includes this bit: quote:When I see lips beggin' to be kissed Also from 1965.

One trend I noticed you don't see as much now is "Unrated" special editions of movies, where when they were released on DVD with an extra boob or someone yelling gently caress a few more times, and it would be advertised as "The version too hot for theaters"

You know you're going to get the deleted scenes and whatever else. They're no longer options, they're standard. Plus, I think that was more of a "We need you to buy this instead of/in addition to the VHS" thing, which obviously isn't an issue anymore.

The 'Unrated' version thing was much deeper into the DVD era than just a bonus feature. I think the things that killed it were that people buy less DVDs in general and that the kind of raunchy PG-13/R rated comedy isn't as common anymore (theatrically anyway). Stuff like Wedding Crashers, which had an unrated version that swapped out all of the montage footage of all of the women they were hooking up with from wearing bras to topless versions in the beginning.

I'm pretty sure I borrowed the DVD from my parents, and they'd absolutely buy the unrated by mistake and never realize it. They're the kind of people who thought Monkey Bone would be a fun kid's movie because it had a cartoon monkey, which led to an awkward family movie night with my grandparents.

Nine times out of ten, it was just a couple of alternate takes that worked better in the rated version. I think the only unrated version that actually did anything interesting was Sex Drive where they superimposed a bunch of naked men and women over scenes.

Yeah, Sex Drive really went balls-to-the-wall with the unrated cut, figuratively and literally. There'd randomly be shots where a character was running along and a giant dude and his flopping dong get superimposed over him. I like that silly rear end movie.

In college I was a fan of pretentious European art movies. However, the only nearby place to rent DVDs got the edited versions that would cut out all the good parts. The Piano Teacher is a particularly surreal movie when you only see the reaction to the bathroom scene. Sex and Lucia without the sex scenes is effectively a parody of itself. I don't miss that era.
