Did she have the red flag divot?

The one on the outer edge of the eyebrow ridge where a ring used to be

A cooky George Lucas trilogy would've been infinitely better for Star Wars, and been better than infinite supers men.

Also could have just let Star Wars die, I wouldn't have complained. The story was over.

Nah, she did have a nose ring and a labret piercing though.

Yeah, the prequels aren't good, but they are kind of barmy and singular and they clearly have some vision in a way blockbuster films just don't since probably about 2007.

Zach Snyder's films all have a vision, an awfully bad one, but one none the less.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.

Disco Pope posted:

Darkplace, Look Around You, I'm Alan Partridge and The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer are the four that I'd recommend, although I'd argue that the later three are maybe too British for export?

Spaced is a weird one - it was nice to see nerds represented on screen in a way that felt honest, but nerds are too powerful now.

Maybe season 2 of Look Around you is a bit British, because it's based off a specific British show. But Season 1 has universal appeal

Yeah, maybe. Season 1 is specifically riffing on late 70s UK schools programming and Open University programmes though, so it's quite specific but maybe not *quite* as specific as "this is Tomorrow's World from 1982 but weird"

Good shout. Jam as well. Actually anything Chris Morris has done, like Brass Eye. I'm surprised Americans didn't like that more, but they are frequently the butt of the joke.

I thought at this point the stories were basically already in place; the books have been out forever? (I've read zero) If he had made it a complete :lsd: movie that could have been great heading into 2020, but it would really need some new techniques (3d required, pushing the limits of the vision center, leveraging optical illusions and such) coupled with artistic/visual storytelling. He'd basically need to hire Stan Brakhage and Jodorowsky.

Or they could just spend $900M to make the first few books of A Wrinkle in Time.

These days, the individual restaurant you are in matters 100x more than what part of the US you are in, when it comes to good BBQ. I've had amazing BBQ in Minneapolis and Chicago, and I've had terrible BBQ in Kansas City and Nashville. It doesn't matter where you are in the US. A skilled pitmaster can smoke meat properly and mix a good sauce. You can source good ingredients anywhere, and the knowledge of how to properly prepare it has become so widespread that geography doesn't matter.

This is true for pretty much any other style of food as well. The only exception being Seafood. You gotta be near the ocean for good seafood.

Memphis dry barbecue is the only good barbecue and Kansas City barbecue is horrible commercialized vinegar-laden poo poo for barbarians.

This reminded me of an opinion regards British comedy. I have a feeling it's not so much unpopular as just completely obscure, but Kevin Eldon should be more well known.

It's the same story as all of these other controversies.

A comedian told a joke which could be interpreted as an endorsement of a horrific, immoral act.
