Guy Goodbody posted:One of the greatest crimes of our modern times is that there isn't a single set or series of sets collecting the Hammer Horror movies. They're scattered across dozens of different random DVD collections. It's a mess! It's a loving disgrace. I think the same thing about the fact that there is no 30 Rock Complete Series box set. It's uncalled for.

Tiggum posted:How do you distinguish between entertainment and art? And you didn't answer the question of what you'd actually like to see done about this. Would there be some sort of government authority that would go "Football? Worthless entertainment. Ballet? Culturally enriching artform." There would have to be. I would also like to know how such an organization would determine its standard of defining each thing's value. This seems a smidge authoritarian.

^^^ Totally agree about overused violence. I'm not really bothered by violence anyway; it's gore I can do without. With a few exceptions, I think gore is heavily overused in horror films. It's one of the reasons why I don't care for slasher flicks. That, and it truly scares me when the monsters are human. Monsters, ghosts, demons, all that poo poo is great. Psychos, slashers, and just evil people can gently caress right off. And the cherry on that fear cake is the movie that haunted me the most, and I have refused to ever watch again... Children of the Corn. I HATE EVIL KIDS!

yeah I eat rear end posted:There is nothing more offensive to me television-wise than those TLC reality shows where it's just "here's someone that pumped themselves up with fertility drugs, watch them scar their 6-12 children for life". They shouldn't be allowed. They are basically circus sideshow exhibits but televised. I live less than 5 miles from the Duggars and have run into them in the wild fairly often. And you are absolutely right, they are the loving worst. They also pump millions into local politics to push conservative agendas, which means they are a threat to everyone not just they're children.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Aren't the duggars whole hog quiverful people? That stuff always makes me cringe since i grew up around evangelicals. I can't help but wonder what insane beliefs they're hiding. I was not familiar with that term, but that sounds about right from what little I know about them. From their clothing, I always assumed Pentecostal but google says Baptist. I don't suppose it matters. They're property looks like a cult compound. Even the married adult children have their own houses on the property. And of course, the oldest boy is a pedophile that may have molested some of his sisters but the state police helped them cover it up. They were poo poo before the show and will be long after it. Sorry for the derail. Unpopular opinion: I don't like alcohol. Wine is a no. Whiskey is a no. Beer is a hard no. I'll have maybe 2 margaritas a year, and if I'm out and feeling saucy, I'll occasionally get a rum and Coke. I just never really acquired a taste for it, and I don't really enjoy being drunk. I also hate coffee. I do enjoy a bit of weed though.

Agent355 posted:There is a genetic thing that makes bitter food taste way more intensely bitter than other people experience it. Do chocolate bars/ice cream taste bitter to you? It does to me and I also can't enjoy any alcohol stuff just because it tastes super awful. Not really, they are still very sweet. Actually, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, all that is pretty extreme for me and about the only "flavors" I get. I had some severe sinus issues a few years ago and lost about 90% of my sense of smell, and it fucks up the way things taste for me. Ommin has a new favorite as of 23:28 on Oct 4, 2018 |

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Wearing shoes isn’t particularly comfortable and I find it weird when people wear them longer than they need to. Like we’re sitting on a couch watching a movie why are you still wearing shoes??  If it's my house, I am barefoot. You do what you like but, gently caress shoes. If it's your house and you don't invite me to, I will ask if it's ok to take them off. It's like when people never take off their coat. It feels aggressively standoffish.

Tubgoat posted:Oh! I thought of one. I think graverobbing is 100% A-okay. The dead have no use for treasure. If their family found any value in the possessions of the deceased, they'd've divvied them up among whomever. Should I come across a corpse in the wasteland, I'll surely try to reunite artifacts on their former person with their next-of-kin if I meet any, otherwise I'm taking them and using them or giving them to someone who needs them more. Why the gently caress are you burying valuable treasure in the ground anyway? Ya doofuses. I'm with you. I've always wondered, at what point does grave robbing become just archaeology? Tubgoat posted:Edit: Not ceremonial graves of oppressed peoples, though. But famous people shouldn't be off limits. I wonder how much history could be confirmed or corrected if we raided a few sarcophagi?

Solice Kirsk posted:There was a really interesting debate about this very thing not too long ago in the US. Scientists, Native Americans, and the Army Corp of Engineers all fought over who should have rights to a 9000 year old man. I googled it, and it was the Kennewick Man. "According to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), if human remains are found on federal lands and their cultural affiliation to a Native American tribe can be established, the affiliated tribe may claim them." Looks like the tribe won and got the remains back and then reburied it in 2016. But globally there should be some sort of "public domain" for marked graves, not just lost ones. 500 years? 1,000?

Gripweed posted:But then when the singer reveals himself to be the man she won't gently caress, the whole thing becomes a gross nice guy whining that she's too dumb to accept how perfect for her he is. I disagree. I don’t remember the rest of the context in the song, but he could be referring to someone with depression. He’s not whining and she’s not dumb. He’s describing (arguably quite arrogantly) that he should make her happy but he doesn’t. And they “don’t know why” sounds like undiagnosed depression.

Gripweed posted:He doesn't say that he should make her happy, he just says that he is everything she should want/need/wish she could be. But he means nothing to her. Which implies that he's an unreliable narrator. He doesn't actually know what she wants/needs/wishes she could be. That's why he means nothing to her. Ok, I was curious and looked up the lyrics. You are correct. He’s just whining about her not noticing him. The whole “if she only knew how great I am” idea. I’ve been hearing that song all wrong.
