My fiancee's asking me to go see Cinderella this weekend. Would it be wildly inappropriate if I yell "THE KING IN THE NORTH!" every time Robb Stark comes on screen?

Won't be as good as the porno musical version we watched that had a gay black dude as the fairy godmother who was introduced by singing a song about robbing whitey blind AND which starred the guy who wrote the first Ninja Turtles movie as the jester.

Yesterday I found out that I know the guy who created Pug Dredd.

He's a weird dude. Like, super weird. Like, my girlfriend thought he was drunk during the one conversation they had even though he doesn't drink.

I thought Dickeye would like to know this.

is it Arthur Wyatt? Arthur is cool. He talks about 2000AD with me on Twitter. The Orlov story she just did in the main mag was cool.

I heard of them via the Chris Gethard Show so I have no idea. They're not part of the indie clique I usually follow

Qqqq Qqqqqqq,

Comicchat I've been working on reading Hickman's Avengers run now that he's in the final stages of it and I can read it in large chunks instead of month to month, and it's so much better this way. I just got to my favorite part of Infinity, wherein Thor frees the Kree homeworld from being enslaved by dickbag alien exterminators by pretending to parlay, throwing Mjolnir into space under the pretense of disarming himself, and slingshotting the loving thing around a sun to smash through the head dickbag's chest in the middle of his triumphant speech.

Comics are great.

I was completely on board with him, but for a normal person I'd probably say Cave of Forgotten Dreams (a bit boring), Encounters at the End of the World, and Grizzly Man. After a couple of those, Incident at Loch Ness. But these all ingratiate you to the man himself, more than him as a director.

Bad Lieutenant requires a love of Nic Cage and open-mindedness to David Lynch-type stuff, and My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done requires you to have run out of Lynch content but still starving for more to enjoy. I love both, but what are some other films of his I should watch?

This is kind of all I've seen besides Nosferatu.

I hear Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre mentioned alot but haven't checked them out yet, because they sound daunting in a way because they were daunting to make.

Yeah part two is a lot like the Indonesian cult segment from 2 where it has a lot of great buildup before going completely loving gonzo in the back third in the best way, and the third part has a lot of the "dumb teens doing dumb teen poo poo" humanity of SPAA that made it hilariously satisfying. It's just that the first segment puts forth none of the effort required to actually sell its concept like the other two do and the framing story goes nowhere, ends with a wet fart and relies on audiovisual glitching to a level that even I, a dude who managed to watch all 50-odd episodes of Marble Hornets, found distractingly excessive.

edit: There's a gangstalking episode, clearly the new best "true crime" podcast.

Da Joose was a legal benzo that a bunch of goons took, and at least 4 crashed their cars and one died from it, so I've learned to not gently caress with benzos.

Also one guy woke up four days later to an angry voicemail from his fiance's father saying that if he ever called her again they would get a restraining order. This may or may not be the same goon who tried to buy a piano on ebay.

But seriously Dickeye, you said you were going to kill somebody in the workplace. Of course you weren't being serious, but can you really blame them for taking the action that they did? If it was a small family-run business or something, then obviously it would've been a different story. But working where you do, did you really expect them to just ignore that after you told someone that?

I mean given that I've heard people use that expression at work? At that job? About those customers? Yeah I didn't think that was going to get me fired

I mean they may have been fine doing it in the past, but it was a corporate gig, right? That's the kind of poo poo you don't say at a corporate gig. After work? Sure, go out with your friends and tell them "I wanted to murder all those motherfuckers today", and if they know you, they'll obviously know you're being facetious. But corporate high-ups aren't gonna treat you like your friends will.

That's what I'm saying, I had heard it and said it before, at this job, that I just quit, tonight.

I really don't feel like arguing about this though so what the gently caress ever, I'm going to start job hunting

Also two days ago I found out that I was literally the fifth best person in my department. So because I said a thing that people around the world grumble under their breath at work every day, they fired one of the best people in their department. I got a whole dick and they can choke on it.

Dickeye, it sucks that this happened, but "pending investigation" doesn't necessarily mean you're fired. I've had 3 "we need to talk about your future" conversations with my boss, and I've been assured by co-workers that no one get's through one of those (they were about separate incidents, and the last one was over a year ago).

I feel bad for you man, but you shouldn't fly off the handle like that.

It was either being fired or being busted back down to the phones with no way to ever get promoted back off of them, and I was already planning on job-hunting tomorrow because that call had done me in. I'm good. I'm mad that that conversation even loving took place.

That's corporate thinking at it's finest.

And now you know why I told them to save their time.
