Dammit, I meant Warren Beatty.

And seriously I thought Halle Barry was a teenager in that.

Time for a little robot chauvinism!

It seems weird to prescribe the influence to a TV show and not their day to day lives, the other shows they watch, the books they read, the people they surround themselves with. Like whichever Republican it was that would argue in favour of torture because of 24. 24 didn't make him think that way, he just liked 24 because it showed him something that he already thought and he was able to point at a very popular TV show and say see, it can be done for good.

Not to mention that whatever ideological wisdom the show imparted on people would have been obliterated after no time at all in politics.

It's all of that but West Wing is certainly big in their canon. Any it definitely effects the everyday liberal. A few years ago I was working on a local State Senate campaign and you'd absolutely see these ingrained lessons in them about integrity and intelligence that come straight from Sorkin, and of course they all love the show, and it hobbles them in the face of an enemy that's just going to throw dirt in your eyes. Lo and behold, we later learned our candidate was being followed -- literally film noir, guy in a car style -- and all sorts of dirty tricks. I don't think Dems need to or should resort to that low of a level, but I do think they need to confront that most people don't care for the schmaltzy grandstanding or debate club points model of politics. In short, follow the AOC model.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, it was a legitimate reaction to the only reply to a post I made at someone else's suggestion being a bunch of negative comments about a jam game. Yeah dude, we know all that poo poo, we just didn't have time to fix it because the jam ended. Nowhere but SA could someone post a jam game and get someone trying to come in with their hot take about why the game sucks. It's buck wild how much this website is fueled by smugness, negativity and pettiness trying to pretend it's wit. The reaction from my teammates was "Well, it's SA, what did you expect posting there".

I think any campaign that can afford it should have a guy with a video camera following their opponent around. Not to there house or anything, but definitely to any campaign events.

I posted a short film for a contest in GBS 2 ( the racist bad one) and the first reply was it sucks because you need better gear and pretty much after that I ordered more gear. It hurt but idk, they nailed something in there.

The Trick R Treat fan film you posted a while back looked great, so it seems like the new gear paid off.

my movie chat is that i saw the new mortal kombat movie and it sucked. i turned it off an hour in when they were still training in a cave boringly and the tournament hadn't evne started. the 1995 moivie was perfectly paced and had cool fighting and they shouldve just remade it but added gore.

anyways that lurdiak guy should probably learn to be more humble and not freak out at the slightest of criticisms, though i am grateful for his inexplicable aggressiveness for providing a lot of very funny posts

Although I unfortunately watched it all the way to the end. Having Kano as a comedic character didn't really work for me either.
