Lavazza is so good. I have one of those grinder coffee makers in my office so I just pour a bag I'm every few days and grind up as many cups as I need.

I think Linkara’s discussions and insights into comic history are really interesting, but can’t stand him flat-out reading a comic with funny voices and riffing on it MST3K style, so I usually tap out of every video as soon as the theme song starts or fast forward to the conclusion.

yeah. i think he is a really good dude but he just isnt funny at all and he comes off as dude who has a massive stick up their rear end.

speaking of comics. The suicide squad is a very good movie. it has some pacing issues and i dont think all the humor lands but for the most part it gels well enough together. I give it a 8 or a 9 out of 10.

anyway worst critic ever had a bad brain opinion on it so lol

i think what makes me angry is this is the big critic actually talking about toxic masculinity being bad, which is a very good thing. but his brain is so warped that pretty much anything outside stephen or newt the magic herper is a evil toxic gently caress. he is one of those people that heard right-wingers say "toxic masculinity means masculinity is toxic" and went "this but unironically".

also i like how he misses the entire point of the movie and that the movie was pretty loving anti imperial and lefty but that doesnt matter because this tankie moron doesn't get it.


also the real hero of the movie is Milton

tankies a bad word for him too he is one of those dudes who will sorta defend the various shittier left leaning current day regimes(not as far as assad) but his ideal goverment is some Soviet councils without the union. he posted it a couple years ago.

the fun thing about jonathan mcintosh is you really get the feeling that he'd have written op eds in 1963 saying that it's all well and good that Martin Luther King has a dream but his tacit approval of Malcom X proves that he's too violent to be a real leader and then pat himself on the back for helping people who want REAL change

Suicide Squad's politics is really disjointed and insane (probably because the writers put zero thought into them) and calling it 'anti-imperial and leftist' or calling McIntosh a loving 'tankie' is absolutely buck wild.

The bad guys deserve to die for being bad guys, they show this by making them cartoonishly evil, which is fine because it's a Suicide Squad movie and the whole movie is cartoonish and absurd, but it also leans heavily on the whole 'evil latin commie dictator' imagery which just isn't a thing even less than it was before and that's poor imagery especially literally right now as the US is doing hilarious anti-Cuba saber rattling like it's the 70's again to the point of pretending Cuba has magic comic book headache lasers and poo poo.

That all said it's loving Suicide Squad so of course everything is cartoonish and stupid and if anything its biggest failing politically is not going full saturday morning cartoon and just making the evil latin americans into some kinda COBRA rear end group to fully disassociate from any actual real world imagery and avoid morons like MacIntosh handwringing about the kind of people that get their politics from the movie where Harley Quinn and Polka Dot Man fight bad guys.

I mean, I admit it is not an issue unique to McIntosh. Vast swaths of YouTube and Twitter lack the capacity to see something, say “I am not interested in that”, and then just ignore it, never to think about it ever again. It’s totally easy to do and dickheads like The Quartering build their entire career around not doing it.

i dont think he does views it in that way. he isnt moviebob after all. i think his legit views it as his lefty moral duty and poo poo to do it. its a weird zealot thing. id prefer he focus on more postive poo poo because i think he is better at that stuff then his weird tirades where he makes an ok point and then proceeds to drown said point in poo poo.

This is completely untrue. The only people whose deaths The Suicide Squad delights in are the capital-V Villains of the film. Quite a lot of people end up as collateral but the film doesn't bask in their deaths at all.

There are plenty of grindhouse throwbacks that find glee in the pain and deaths of innocent people, but The Suicide Squad doesn't do that. McIntosh has such a wide range of targets to pick from on this issue and he picked the only wrong one. It's impressive in its own right.

I feel like if you presented McIntosh with a copy of Guilty Gear Strive, or took him to a fighting game tournament, he'd get up in arms about it, saying something like, "Hmph! Once again, toxic masculinity is on display here, where the goal is to use violence to defeat you opponent. This game is rated 'Mature', you say? Wouldn't it be more mature to have a game where you sit down and have a pleasant conversation? :smug:"

he kinda walks back on some of it later in the thread but yeah. his issue is getting mad at something that was never gonna be the thing he wanted it to be. it would be like me getting mad at dark souls because it didnt have a difficulty selection or wasnt an RTS game. he makes some ok basic points but the main issue is he is trying to make his opinion the black and white moral absolute which i dont think is fully intentional on his part.
