I felt The Man Show was parody, but earnest parody. Like it was them exploring and having fun with stuff and jobs that were traditionally masculine. Like one episode they hang out with a guy who runs a junkyard, and Adam is excited to be able to shoot a junkyard rat, but then a guy in a huge rat mascot costume shows up and beats his rear end.

How would you have a crime/mystery show without it also being a cop show? Like does the person just never get arrested at the end and they get away with it every week? Like when they unmask the guy on Scooby-Doo they just bail?

I don't remember what song it is but there's a country song that rhymes "pride" with "fad" and that totally works when you say it in the southern accent I guess.

I am literally the only person who liked the shooting in the first Mass Effect game the most. 2 and 3 we're actually competent and fast cover shooters. But that's not what I want in an RPG I want to barely/not have to aim at all and to have infinite ammo and to always win while I throw lead down range and spam my powers. Then I get to see my numbers get bigger and I get a lot of plot and dialogue and cutscenes.

I actually saw a bit of that dubbed in Japanese and the greatest travesty is that they took Hank's distinctive bwahhh and turned it into the generic Japanese surprise ehhhh sound.

I had an uncle in a Wrangler commercial once years ago and he had the same experience but the other way around. They were shooting at night/pre-dawn in Montana and it got stupid cold randomly the day of shooting, but the scene was them all working hard outside and sweating in slow motion and stuff, but "it got cold enough that you could see our breath with the lighting, so we all had to keep ice chips in our mouths to cut that" which is fun movie magic.

All of that great man nonsense is good for fiction because it's fiction. Why the hell would I want to watch a movie where the main characters do not have the ability or skills to influence the plot and they just spend the whole time losing?

I've only seen Star Wars 1-7 and they had kung fu and explosions and space magic and lasers in it. And in the end, that's all any of us need or any of you deserve. I hear 8 and 9 are bad though, but it was like all chuds that hated 8, and everyone hated 9?

I was in college when the comics first came out and I remember them kinda being a big deal at the time, so I'm really happy they're making this show and more people get to experience it. Plus the cast is knocking it out of the park.

It's because the type of liberals that love/emulate The West Wing truly and genuinely believe the lie "it doesn't matter if you win or lose but how you play the game" that they were told as kids.

FreudianSlippers posted:The 70s were all about how hosed up everything was. My favorite part of that movie is that one kid who got his girlfriend knocked up and it's clear nobody cares about how worried he is in that situation and he even asks if he thinks the pope himself will give him permission for her to get an abortion and then he ends up killing himself.

Also how were any of the characters in Fight Club failed men? They all had, like, jobs and stuff. They should just stop feeling unfulfilled. Oh fuckin boo hoo, you have ennui because you work in a bank or whatever, go play videogames and watch cartoons you whiny sack of poo poo.

Also in real life, even well meaning people can erase bisexual experiences really easily because nobody cares who you are attracted to, only who you are currently with. So a bisexual lady and bisexual man dating are just straight to everyone else.

Even though I know it's an old timey yellow peril design, they did too good of a job and made him look cool and badass. That's a guy whom I want running a giant criminal empire. I'd totally work for that guy if I was a mook.

Ghost Leviathan posted:It was the 80s. So much about Bayformers makes sense if you imagine Bay literally used the 80s cartoon as primary inspiration. I was surprised and confused at how good it was and this is somebody who liked all of the Shrek movies because they were fun. Jack Horner is such a refreshing villain because we're all constantly inundated by tragic villainy so it's wrapped back around to incredibly novel to have someone actually be that banal.
