Yeah the whole "comedy punches up" thing is a silly trope. Plenty of good comedy is mean spirited or just doesn't punch up or down, it's irrelevant.

Well mod opinions like this sure does provide insight into why GBS is "lol niggers and faggots and kikes".

This is the first time I've seen a photo of this man and I'm laughing because one of my coworkers went on a rant yesterday about how the ISIS leader looks exactly like Osama bin Laden. Come on, he's not even close! That's either racism or PYF-grade face blindness.

Another person here has a locker full of goofy stuff including a pic of Bart Simpson writing GOOGLE AGENDA 21 on the chalkboard. These are still by far the nicest people I've worked with as a temp, though. I can't complain.

All of my temp work experiences have been with the really loony types who would ramble on at me about chemtrails and how it's only smart to be anti-vax and oh did you know GMOs cause cancer? I'm so loving glad I don't do temp work anymore because out of the 5 companies I moved between 4 of them were staffed by the caricatures that D&D normally creates for conservatives/loony people. It was a rough year and a half.

Between the ages of 11 and 14 I had 2 CD's because my mother was a controlling jesus freak who didn't want me listening to devil music. Those CD's? Linkin Park Meteora and Hybrid Theory. I listened to them every day for roughly 3 years and can recite the lyrics for every song perfectly. :cripes:

i have to admit i'm almost fond of linkin park just for how charmingly, unpretentiously teenaged their music is.

I have no doubt in my mind that half the reason I was such an angsty teen was because I listened to so much linkin park.

That's a tried meme that was yelled from the mountain tops because U.S. getting ALJA meant that they arbitrarily cut U.S. off from ALJE (which I still protest, but you can get around it really easily).

I was angry at first too, but ALJA isn't bad/dumbed down at all and it's nice to see an American-focused news station actually discussing news.

Definitely, and that's what makes me sad about that movie: most of the performances were good. Orlando Bloom was weak, quelle surprise, but everyone else did good stuff with what they were given. But starting from the premise of taking a Greek epic poem set in the Age of Heroes, and then taking out all the gods and magic and monsters and other fun stuff? Honestly, how could anybody have thought that was a good idea?

That's absolutely the most ridiculous decision you could make when doing a movie about Troy. It's like, wtf man, the Gods dicking around was the only way they could break up all the monotonous human stuff.

According to wiki the camels got to nearly 1 mill in population so the Australians had to kill 700,000 of them. This was between 2008 - 2013, so basically a camel holocaust.

My whole problem with the movie is like wtf are they gonna do at the end? So the snow is melting, so what, it's still really loving cold, arctic levels of cold if a polar bear can just amble around like that. And what about repopulating the world, are there any other loving survivors out there or is the future of mankind really left up to some young Asian woman and the little black kid she's now suddenly charged with? :wtc: answer my questions damnit!

Snowpiercer (2014) 4.5/5
What could make Snowpiercer feel very rote - its linear, almost video-game like structure of moving through the carriages - is tactfully played as its strength. You're genuinely excited and tense throughout about what is going to be in the next carriage, and the film never lets down by constantly shifting in tone - while still existing enough within the themes and never ignoring them - that the whole film is a visceral thrill ride from beginning to end. The casting is perfect here too, and no character feels generic as everyone has their own unique details, even the smaller details. Also, just for the record, I thought "that line" in Chris Evans monologue at the end was actually really powerful...

i'm laughing irl

i should just bold the whole thing lmao

I mean, I don't think it deserves the high critical fanfare it received, but it's not a so-bad-its-good movie, it's not even a bad movie. It's just an alright scifi action blockbuster that really doesn't need to be anything more than it already is. :shrug:

The officer arrived, went out back, pulled out a knife, and slit all the kittens' throats and the lady's little children in the house could hear the whole thing plain as day.
They were traumatized. The cop was completely non-chalant about the whole thing.
