Name five recent foreign films we should “try”, and explain your reasoning for each.

Is there a word for weebs but instead of Asian culture they’re obsessed with acting like a shitheel bolshevik? If there isn’t one already, it should be your stupid name.

Part of me hopes it’s shittymorphs new schtick.

Nope.

My first and middle name are the first and last name of a very famous comedian/actor/writer. I was born in 79 during the height of his wild crazyness but my dad swears up and down that it had nothing to do with the choice of names. I’m just very happy this particular comedian is still a beloved and respected figure with no major scandals or skeletons.

My movies? What?

I’m not upset about anything. I’m simply pointing out that the assertion that all movies today are dogshit shows you are either ignorant to all the quality movies being produced and the history of cinema in general, or your expectations are ludicrously high. In either case, you’re contribution to the discussion is worthless. Or, to put it in your terms: your words are dogshit.

There have always been shitty movies. That’s not to say that there have ONLY been shitty movies.

There are good movies being produced, and with the entirety of human culture at your fingertips, if all you are seeing is dogshit that’s entirely your fault.

• Only listens to top 40 drive time radio:

“Music today is dogshit.”

Don’t confuse your uninformed opinion with reality.

Notice how Hugo was a flop? Those facts are not mutually exclusive.

Please re-read my statement. I didn’t say you are against trans people. I simply said that these are discussions best left to a person and their physician. As a cis man, I should have as much say in the matter as I do on abortion or breast reduction or hysterectomy, which is none until it directly involves me or my immediate family.

Those are rational concerns. They really are. And these are all concerns that a physician could address when talking to their patients who might be starting to question their gender. And that’s how it should stay.

All that to say that unless you are a trained physician, or are an adult experiencing gender dysphoria, or are the parent of a child experiencing it, it’s none of your business. Trans people exist. Let them exist peacefully.

charging small amounts from every user instead of having an ad-funded business is probably the most honest and fair way to have a healthy internet

I agree, but wouldn’t you think it’s far more likely that they would charge small amounts from every user AND have an ad-funded business?

I don’t recall ever seeing one, and even so who cares?

I’ve been paying for Spotify for years. I’ve never heard a single promo for a single right wing dipshit podcast.

I thought they already handled this…

Drew’s Script-O-Rama.

He’s been running the site since 95. I’ve been visiting since 96 or 97. I even provided the hardcopy for the Big Lebowski shooting script which he posted a few months before the movie premiered.

Piedmont. From CLE to OWB. This was probably 87 or 88?

The movie, not the show.

Season 1 was deep? In what way?

I watched it straight through when I was working from home and had nothing else to do for a few days. I watched it again just last month thinking maybe I missed something like first time.

I don’t think I did.

It was just as plodding and poorly written the second time around. Not only did I not care about any of the characters or their struggles, I actively disliked almost all of them by the end. They were an assortment of shitty television cliches acting out the most boring and uneventful alien invasion imaginable.

I don’t doubt that there’s probably a purpose to some of the more perplexing bits from last season, but I wasn’t pulled into last season enough to care.

All that said, I’m probably going to watch it anyway.

I’ll never forget the day when the movie theater I used to work at got a brand new Soul Calibur arcade cabinet. Me and my coworkers put more money into that game than the customers ever did.

Voldo was the shit.

My friends and I went to see The Thin Red Line in the theater on opening night. It was literally a sold out showing. We ended up having to sit in the second row.

After the first 40 minutes or so we noticed a few groups of people walking out. 20 minutes later a few more groups left. It became a slow trickle of people just getting up and leaving.

When the movie ended and the credits began I turned around to look at who was left. There was literally just one other guy sitting a few rows behind us.

I get it. It came out on the heels of Saving Private Ryan, it was marketed as a similar style “war movie”, it had a laundry list of big names who were only onscreen for a few minutes… all those people ended up watching a deep, languid reflection on life, love and the very nature of humanity. So yeah, not a typical formula for box office dynamite.

I understand why so many people would not be able to sit through the entire run time, but it’s honestly their loss. I loved the movie, and the shock of turning around to see an empty auditorium made the experience even more memorable.

It’s consistently mentioned for both of those aspects, actually. Like, google pretty much any review of the movie and you’re going to see one or both of those things mentioned with almost absolute certainty.
