Like I would have bought an 'SST' record shirt along with a 'Black Flag' shirt or a 'Alternative Tentacles' shirt from Jello Biafra's record company. Studio Gibli, gundam, Vans shoes, linux distributions are things that have their names with extra qualities to them (sorry for the vague wording), and wouldn't be surprised if people bought an 'A24' shirt.

I should've figured the discourse around The Northman would be driven purely by people who haven't seen it. Anyways, I saw it, and it's totally sick. Everyone should see it.

TheSlutPit posted:It also helps that the daily show started out as just a general parody of news programs/weekend update style joke show. IIRC it wasn’t until a few years into the Bush era that it started taking itself seriously and trying to bundle real talking points into the satire format. Eventually it went to their heads sure but I do think part of the lightning-in-a-bottle was that they were basically the only news source outside of like college radio and Web 1.0 that wasn't under pressure to cheerlead for the Iraq war.

One of the reasons why I thought The Daily Show rose above what I perceived to be milquetoast liberalism of the Bush and Obama years was Stewart's willingness to go after the media, and not just Fox News. Probably in part because of The Daily Show's relentless mockery of CNN, I underestimated how much the archetype of the noble journalist was crucial to mythmaking in the entire liberal project. After Trump won, anyone who bashed CNN as much as Jon has would have been accused of being a cryptic right winger for "sowing discord" by perpetuating mistrust in traditional media institutions, even if his criticisms of the media were kind of weak in hindsight. During Trevor Noah's first year (well before Trump's victory was certain), the Daily Show immediately dialed back on media bashing, and it was quite noticeable even as I was still giving the new guy the benefit of the doubt.

I don't want all the Marvel characters to die, and I don't want anyone to feel bad about the stuff they like. I just want all adults to fully, completely, consensually, decide that they will stop consuming comic book movies and tv shows, and stop talking about them, forever. Without any bad feelings. There's lots more other culture out there, just as lovely. Just consume that

Kids that saw Iron Man when it came out in theatres are already in college or graduated. We're going to see all those Funko Pop wall nerds grow grey when Disney releases a line of stinkers that finally ends the MCU.

My favorite creepypasta is about visiting an abandoned McDonald’s PlayPlace and I can’t remember the name or the plot but the protagonist is menaced by a ball pit that has too many balls in it, the amount of balls is eerie and a sign the protagonist is in danger.

i think the problem with a creepypasta movie is that the villains are all either evil versions of copyrighted characters or so generic that theres no reason to not just make up your own

Or the creepypasta about a haunted Mickey Mouse doll that keeps leaking a white fluid on everything, it’s not a good story but you really get the feeling that the author somehow doesn’t realize that they’re writing a horror story about a Mickey Mouse doll that can’t stop cumming. I know you’re thinking they definitely know what they’re doing there but believe me it really seems like the author is not in on the joke.

Ted the Caver was my favorite because the photographs sold it as being believable. The 'Floyd's Tomb' sequence of pictures set off my claustrophobia. The entries are a bit wordy but I've seen people make excessive posts trying to tell stories in forums.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:thinking about joining cpusa now So a 'what if' titled "The Punisher kills Disney." Also that flick will just be like Crucifying Jesus , and make people believe in it harder. Character death is just being tossed into a hockey time out box. If you want a harder death, mandate that people have to watch these movies, and make a lot of them. People loath being told what to do. Disney is good at not advertising too hard and making people think they have a choice, and just like disney for disney. The same way people think they like a pop song on the radio just because they like it. Nichael posted:I just wish I could permanently live in a Disney hellscape! I honestly hope this is super successful. Video games are super easy for pop culture to just ignore. Like how many minecraft videos are you recommended daily, vs how many exist on youtube. Even the Algorithm is like: "We know you watched a couple minecraft videos that one time? You still wanna watch that? Here is one video? No. All right then. Here is a linus tech tip video. I'm out!"

The media added that association because it was just crazy about Joker for some reason And they were literally posting cops at Joker showings on opening night Just In Case
