I also remain a big fan of the original Peanuts Christmas special. One year it was shown in its entirety at the Christmas service I was attending and honestly we didn't need the minister to give "a few comments" (45 MINUTES IS NOT "A FEW COMMENTS") because he basically repeated it except in a much more boring way.

Tbh im not sure what in gonna do tomorrow besides family dinner Gripweed posted:The Night Witches are portrayed as obedient goons who immediately turn on Star and Supergirl when ordered. It's a really lovely thing to do to actual heroes in a silly comic book. Especially because it would've worked better to have the Night Witches only pretend to try to kill the superheroes in order to help them escape. The way it's done just presents Supergirl and Stargirl as the only Soviet citizens capable of independent thought. Eh, i mean i guess if the witches had any story or characterization at all before the accident scene that mightve worked. But they didnt so im not gonna bent out of shape over it. In the context of the story the sisters show up and like the next page one of them is doing super stuff so theres not really any "earned" loyalty between the sisters and the rest of the squadron imo when their squadron leader accuses them of being spies. And the last part feels like a stretch to me cuz the rest of the squadron doesnt know that its a soviet gulag, the only reason the sisters know is because they go down on the ground and talk to the people before the attack and realize who they really are, and shockingly their commanders lied to them site fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Dec 24, 2018 |

I like Scrooged. I thought most people did.  Fun fact: it was Murray's big return to movies after his four-year hiatus post-Ghostbusters. That's pretty weird to think about from a 2018 perspective and no doubt was in 1988 as well: an A-list star headlines the biggest movie of the year and then he just doesn't make any more movies at all for the next four years after it. It was also Donner's first movie after Lethal Weapon, which no doubt would make for an interesting Christmas double feature.

Literally no one defended that but it randomly came out for no reason. Usually it’s Ukraine tho so points for adding your own spin I guess

Samuringa posted:getting mad at improper use of slang to denounce war crimes Tankie has nothing to do with war crimes or denouncing them. It’s a political affiliation more than anything like liberal or conservative. Which are both positions that celebrate war crimes as well. Like a tankie will call themselves a tankie no shame CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Dec 25, 2018 |

My brother gave my wife and I passes for axe-throwing lessons so I guess I'm leaning hard into being a certain kind of lesbian. Anyway the 1964 Rod Serling teleplay A Carol For Another Christmas is not good necessarily good but I have a soft spot for it, and Peter Sellers gives a brief but bravura (and nowadays uncannily timely) performance as a libertarian demagogue in the Christmas Future segment. Also, tankie is a perfectly fine term, although I think its semantic drift is understandable and worth noting. It can for sure be used as a petty and more or less meaningless snowball hurled in inter-left sniping-- god knows that's how I mostly used it as a young ivory tower prick in 2011 or whenever!!-- but that doesn't invalidate it entirely. In the context of this discussion-- ie. how a comic portrayed the relative good or ill of the Soviet Union-- it's absolutely not out of left field. Maybe this would be cleared up if somebody posted the pages in question? I dunno.

I'm moving at the end of this month and had several dozen or so graphic novels and while being way to pack they weigh a loving lot. Anyone have any tips about packing graphic novels to save space, with less and be ready to transport?

Buy cube boxes and only cube boxes for them. You can fit a bunch in each without the box getting too heavy.

There's a good scene in that anime about the skeleton who works at a bookstore where one of his coworkers tries to help him stock the American comics section and almost throws her back out because American comics are so unexpectedly heavy compared to manga
