The first Underworld sequel, and Master and Commander: Far Side of the World.

On that, marvel movies are uninspired cookie cutter plot movies with decent action sequences and just enough plot to be bearable, but God drat if that obligatory 'everyone gets on center stage and poses all cool like so that we can remember who all the characters are in case we forgot in the last ten seconds' doesn't get old. Not that the movies are terrible, they're just not as great as everyone makes them out to be

Yeah I've worked in retail and hospitality, and retail was fine (99% of people were fine to deal with, work wasn't too hard), but hospitality. Hoo boy. People were way more rude and entitled, my owner bosses were lovely people, I was making way below minimum wage (which is pretty illegal in Australia), and way higher stress overall. I think the biggest point of difference and case for stress is if you're helping someone find an item at a retail store, and they say "oh no actually I meant X", it's no big deal to go get X instead. When that happens with food, it's a way bigger issue.

This first article rubs me the wrong way. The idea seems to be "Well, many bad things happen under capitalism, and we don't attack capitalism as a concept for it, so we shouldn't attack socialism for the bad things that happen in its name."

Except, we do critique and attack capitalism for these issues. People are doing it on these forums, on twitter, in the government, every day critiquing capitalism for its failures and the problems it causes. I don't know what this author is even talking about.

by all means, clean your hands with strong chemicals even for no reason if you're gonna directly or indirectly put your hands in someone, it's good sanitary practice

just don't go all howie mandel when you realize the peanut butter in that sandwich has an acceptable non-zero amount of insect larvae, rat hairs, mashed up bits of fly, etc since the whole world is also a big gradient smear of germs

Leather is a horrible material for any form of seat, especially in hot climates. I question the sensibility of anyone who voluntarily buys a leather couch or chooses leather seats for their car.

I think I posted earlier in this thread about how The Dark Knight is just OK, through Heath Ledger did a good job with the script he was given.

Superhero movies are bad in general. They aren't even good as mindless schlock you see with your friends. The whole concept of the "superhero" we see in American comics is pretty stupid, and not in a "so bad it's good" way. It's just a dumb fantasy for people to wish that they were stronger than they are and could make a difference. It's kind of pathetic to be really interested in superheroes. Granted, this opinion might not be so unpopular because I suspect that superhero movies will die out within the next 5 years or so anyway.

I'm a little skeptical of this dreamy-eyed plan to terraform and/or colonize Mars. Getting to Mars is a worthwhile scientific achievement to aim for, but if we can't even be good stewards of the planet we have, what makes us think we have the right to lay claim to another planet and foul it up?

The dark side might be relatable if you only focus on the space wizard philosophy, but every dark side user and their underlings have been shown to be literal nazi mass murderers. It’s like, you can justly criticize the US and other liberal western statss but there is no area where you compare Bush to Hitler and come away thinking “I’m with Adolf on this one” unless you’re a nazi

im sure this has already been said in some form or another in this thread, but i think Wonder Woman at best was painfully mediocre. maybe im just burnt out on super hero movies, but i was practically bored to tears during this film. it just seemed so by the books, with the only thing setting it apart from any other super hero movie being the woman lead. i truly do not understand why so many people think this movie is so incredible, and i sometimes wonder if its more of a political type thing and people dont want to call it bad because not liking a movie with a woman as the lead must mean you hate women!!!! like its impossible to judge a movie based on its merit if theres a female lead or something

like the way people were hyping it up and talking about how awesome it was i was super pumped going in, finally a well made movie with a woman in the lead role! i left really confused and disappointed

am i correct in assuming the praise is less about the movie and its quality and more about its financial success that proves there is an appetite for movies with women as leads? because i do think that is a good thing and can appreciate the movie from that angle

I’ve never met a socialist who wasn’t extremely annoying. I also put the odds of the US going full socialism/communism any time soon at around 500 to 1.

Not that I even disagree with them that much, honestly, but they’re getting to the point where they’re like the stereotype of vegans.

Also, as a corollary to my previous post about D&D being a shithole of a forum, I find it alot more cathartic to watch idiotic leftists breakdown into amerikkka rants than to circlejerk about how dumb right wing conservatives are. Nazis are dumb, bad, and dangerous but idiots who share my opinions make me look waaaay better. No one is ever gonna compare the gay french jew who used to wear a che tee to Joe Bob McRoymooredidnothingwrong.

Fun dnd drinking game is to mention america being involved in world war 2 and see how long it takes before Stalin becomes the only moral player.
