All I really know about the Orville is that my very earnest parents, who love them some ST (TNG and otherwise), and have nothing nice to say about Seth MacFarlane's other shows...are totally into the Orville. So it must be doing something right in that vein.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I love when cartoons do poo poo like that. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy had a no-poo poo God Emperor of Dune episode that definitely flew right over the audience's heads. There's an episode of Spongebob where, I'm not sure I remember exactly what was going on, but Sally is trying to track down a worm, touches the ground, and dramatically shouts, "WORM SIGN!" I still laugh when I remember that.

FreudianSlippers posted:Pasolini is today most famous for Saló, an allegory for fascism based on a story by the Marquis de Sade, where a group of wealthy and powerful men (including a Bishop) force a group of teenagers to eat their own poop. Honestly, the poop eating was one of the less disturbing parts of that film.

Pick posted:DeSade's work has no redeeming qualities at all and is a pretty decent argument for obscenity laws. I'm not saying this arbitrarily, I read a bit of it, and I don't think anyone has ever claimed that any part of it is good from any literary standpoint or makes any point other than being a lot of hateful poo poo for no reason. It's not even like other lovely, bad books where you can get one or two quotes out of it, there's really nothing there except for violent and vulgar nonsense. Violent, vulgar, and repetitive. I think the most annoying thing about trying to read Sade was finding out it's just reams of the same poo poo (literally) over and over. Oh, but this time you're doing it to a boy, and he's upside down? Super.

MariusLecter posted:Did the episode where Gandhi gets addicted to pancake batter and blue housepaint mix age well? Yes. The jokes about Mena Suvari’s giant forehead are a bit obscure, but the whole thing is still fantastic overall. Marilyn Manson doing the food pyramid song will always be great, and the corporate sellout fail plot is stellar. I’m still amused that the 3 corporate hacks are played by the leads from Scrubs. “STICK IT IN YOUR FACE HOLE AND SLAM IT!” “MY KID WONT LOOK ME IN THE EYES ANYMORE!”

Just make it to the parking garage." The security guy got real weirded out when I started giggling as I walked away.

FilthyImp posted:Ages ago someone in JET wrote up their experiences teaching high school (GaijinSmash.net?) and they were aghast at how casually some students were like "Hey Mr. American Teacherman, who is hotter X or Y because they both want to sleep with you. Wait why are you freaking out it's fine if they're 17 right". I had a conversation with a guy teaching on the JET program in Japan a few years back. Years? Decades? Anyway, he was a tall British guy, and he was waiting in a queue for something, and two school aged girls behind him started speculating about the size of his dick. So he turned around and said, in Japanese, "It's real and it's spectacular" (or something to that effect). He was also a fan of GTO, but the kind of fan who was like, "This poo poo's suuuper awkward, but as a teacher in Japan, I like the non-creepy stuff."

My favorite auto tune story was from an interview with The Matrix, a production trio that was responsible for a lot of shiny 00s pop that wasn’t coming from Sweden (and also launched Katy Perry’s career, so take that as you wish). They had thrown Cher’s vocals thru the Antares vocal processor (I think, I could be mixing it up, but that’s the OG Auto Tune box) and they made her sound all weird and cyborgy...but were terrified to share it with her because WHO DOES THAT TO CHER? She heard it anyway, and thought it was fuckin awesome, so that’s how Believe happened.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Take 50mg of diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Tylenol PM, etc) and put on some futurama while you’re falling asleep the next time you’re running a good fever, your brain will cook up some delightful stuff for you. I once had a raging case of some stomach bug that came with a 103 degree fever. I’d been reading Scott Pilgrim that week, and had just uncovered a box of old GamePro magazines, so I was feverishly convinced I had a gaming mag from the past that had a feature on an upcoming Scott Pilgrim game (this was before the movie; there was no game at the time), and somehow GamePro was able to see the future.

MrUnderbridge posted:Tab of acid and Secret of NIMH. In a theater. In the afternoon. Oh no, I used to watch that over and over as a kid, and revisiting it as an adult made me wonder what the hell was wrong with me. Parts of Pinocchio made me more freaked out than literal actual rat torture and cancer ridden ghost owls and rat-people getting shanked and bleeding. That said, one of my favorite songs I’ve ever done features a good bit of NIMH sampling. Maybe I should finish it for the protest song challenge... Speaking of Jodorowsky, El Topo while coming up on DXM was a huge mistake. Like the person upthread who mentioned Heathers is just as bonkers when you’re sober, it did not help to rewatch it and find out I didn’t really miss or misinterpret anything. The guy with the toothpick pyramid who speaks with eagle screams NOT being a dream startled the gently caress out of me.

(The first being to go to a a Jurassic World midnight Marathon) I went to the college where Jack Horner, the inspiration for Alan Grant, taught paleontology. They held the Jurassic Park III premiere at a downtown theater in Bozeman, and a few of my friends who studied under Horner were invited. At the after party, one of them got into a conversation with a producer. Producer: So, how did you like it? Friend: Well...it was short. Producer: Yeah...it was definitely short.

The “best” part of House is that it went on for so long that it inevitably touched on some medical topic someone is an expert on. For me, that’s endometriosis and DXM abuse. Both of those episodes are comedy gold. No, endo won’t break loose and fly around your body like super cancer. Yes, it has been found in the brain. No, that’s uncommon as gently caress, and it wouldn’t happen in the space of hours. Yes, DXM will make you look dumb to other people while on it, but while it is a dissociative, it’s not the sort of thing that will make a depressed smart person into a happy stupid person. And that happy stupid person won’t be a contributing member of society, because he’ll be ataxic as gently caress and too uncoordinated to do anything useful. There’s a doctor who blogged the veracity of every episode. Highly recommend if you enjoy House but side eye the medicine they’re allegedly practicing on it.

Yeah, briefly. from Wikipedia's Season 3 Synopsis posted:Early in the season, House temporarily regains the use of his leg due to ketamine treatment after he was shot in the season two finale. Later in the season, he leaves a stubborn patient in an exam room with a thermometer in his rectum. Because House is unwilling to apologize, the patient, who turns out to be a police detective, starts an investigation around House's Vicodin addiction.

I lived with people who ran a Magic shop, held multiple WotC sponsored events, and were high-level tournament judges or whatever. Caveat: I don't play and don't give a gently caress about it, but I am a nerd. The story literally never came up. There'd be some random mention of something like, "Holy poo poo, I'm so hype to see what new cards they have for Ravinica!" or whatever when a release was coming up, but for a bunch of lore dorks, these two never even remotely hinted that there was a worthwhile story in the card game they based their livelihood off of.

Bk. posted:The issue of old-timey rockstars being extremely open about their pedophilia back in the days when that kind of poo poo was still an inherent part of the whole rockstar persona to many people has been brought up in this thread before (at least I assume it was this thread; gross old dudes touching kids comes up a lot on SA). Many iconic artists have died with their image fully intact, with many eager to just forget that, e.g., Bowie hosed kids. Even the ones that haven't had the decency of dying yet, like the Rolling Stones or Iggy Pop (at least I think he's not dead yet) are still mostly revered by the public. Ugh, yeah. I have an art history education (most of you probably already know that, because much like vegans, art historians can't shut up about what they studied), and was thoroughly grossed out reading this article this morning: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/jun/17/van-gogh-and-gauguin-letter-brothel-visit-sells-210000 quote:A letter written by two of the greatest artists of the 19th century, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, about their visits to French brothels has been bought for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam for €210,600 (£189,000). I just...I don't even have the words for this poo poo anymore. Reading about so many fancy lads running around loving indiscriminately and calling themselves the greatest king shits to ever live while denying that women/POCs had any worthwhile input on art (while rampantly ripping off everything made by anyone who wasn't them) has finally pushed me to the point of just being loving angry all the time. Thanks, I hate it. Like, gently caress you, Gauguin, you stole all your poo poo from loving Southeast Asia, can we stop pretending the dude painting nubile naked brown people has anything worthwhile to say about art? It was also fun when I was doing MMA, and had found a very POC/queer accepting gym where everyone treated everyone like a teammate...and then later found out our head coach was loving high schoolers when he was in his 50s. Like, can someone in this world not be a loving giant disappointment just ONCE?

His thing was abusing women and ignoring his own children. It's not always kiddy diddling, but there are a lot of abusers and rapists in art history.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:The book is rubbish and doesn’t even have a proper ending,the main character is about to get his revenge that the whole book has been hinging on....and then someone tells him he can’t have his revenge and he’s like “ok”. It is, however, a book based on historical frontier figures. I guess Jim Bridger never ascended to the same stature as Davey Crockett or whoever, but it’s not just some stupid story someone made up of whole cloth. Not defending it, tho. I wanted more out of both the book and the movie, cuz I’m from that area and I like it when we have good representations of our history in film and literature. Blew my fuckin mind when I watched Legends of the Fall as a kid, and Brad Pitt’s all talking like Helena, Montana in the 20s is like Paris or some other fancy city.

Bit of inside baseball, I used to be involved in the same art community as Bryan Lee O'Malley before and around when Scott Pilgrim got published as a comic. Another artist who I won't name (not for any important reason, it's just a weird detail that isn't relevant to her current career) was working as a caretaker for people with trisomy 21 at the time, and would quietly call people out whenever they'd drop "retarded" as an insult. I know that was when most of us started checking ourselves and thinking, "You know...that actually isn't cool, and we should stop."

They reconcile and return to the club, where Scott confronts Gideon inside Ramona's subspace and encourages Ramona to overcome Gideon's influence. When Scott witnesses Gideon berate Envy, he realizes he has been no better than Gideon in his past relationships, causing him to gain the Power of Understanding. Scott and Ramona unite, defeat Gideon together, and decide to give their relationship another chance. In an epilogue, Scott works as a co-chef with Stephen, who reveals he is gay and dating Joseph. Scott and Kim start a new band, and Knives leaves to attend university. Scott and Ramona affirm their desire to face the challenges of a relationship together, and walk hand-in-hand into a subspace door.
