Um, I suggest reviewing the source material before claiming Hollywood invented details about Jewish history. You can take issue with the historical accuracy of the source material but Hollywood didnt invent this detail.

The first book is great. Season 1 vaguely corresponds to the first part of book 1. Book 1 is great. Season 1 was surprisingly watchable despite making Lynch's Dune look like a faithful adaptation. Its hysterical how many fundamental details they changed, its like they were trying to...

Combat veteran has a captain america glass eye for an eye lost in a service-related injury? Do I have this right? I hope someone is working on the future presidential campaign, the shit writes itself.

These were so good. Somehow I didnt even hate Ellen Page. Just the right balance between revealing enough details and keeping some mystery. Is there any news if it gets a second season yet?

I am so tired of the bullshit that single income cant support a family anymore. My dad supported so many kids on a single income, you suburban fucks would think I was shitting you if I named numbers and AGI. I'm half the man my dad is, but I've supported 3 and and a wife for about a decade. I...

They pick a D-list unknown Marvel heroine, pick an unattractive and outspokenly feminist actress to play her, dress her in the least sexy possible iteration of her comic book appearance, and write what appears to be a generic and forgettable story about her. Then they blame the results on...

God Emperor of Dune is possibly the best sci fi book of all time. Keep going, its worth it.

Oh fuckin A, that is depressing to hear. I hadnt given it any thought but I guess I would have pictured old Tom getting red pilled somewhere along the way in the political sense too, after dispensing so many red pills over the years on relationship stuff.

First, the focus should obviously be quantity * quality, not quality alone. The more people, the better for all people and for the species, as long as new resources can be exploited to support the new people with adequate quality of life. Second, I cant agree with quality of life as a way to...

Lived in LA for like 8 years and listened to Tom Leykis almost every day on the commute. The man is a true artist of radio. Easily better than Howard Stern in his prime.

I'm just gonna leave your quote here for posterity. getting humanity onto two or more planets *isnt* a self-evident and absolute requirement for our long term survival as a species? OK. If thats really the hill you wanna die on, be my guest.

I think youre right, and have correctly identified the cause. What frustrates the shit out of me is that no one is excited about spending billions on Medicare, Social Security, or Defense either, but we manage to do that. Sure, people may feel like it's our duty to do so, or in our national...

This thread is so fucking funny. Of all the issues to get all morally outraged over: downloading copies of digital entertainment This is how I know y'all are mostly leftists down deep despite a momentary affection for Trump -- some of you people fixate on the dumbest and least important shit...

I dont get it. Are all ethnicities with skin darker than snow interchangeable to you? Thats exactly my complaint. An Arabic/European race in the book, and they cast a black chick. Would a Filipina also have been a good fit? A Thai? how about an Australian Aboriginal? I mean its about finding the...

LOL thats what we've learned from Game of Thrones? Every time you watch Dany's bizarre black eyebrows on a platinum blond chick look, thats what you think? What I think is "there are a couple dozen actually blond actresses who could deliver these lines just as well". Not like theres some...

... and there it fucking is. In 2019 America, the only acceptable love interest for a white man is a black woman. every. fucking. time. It barely happens in real life; it doesnt follow the story; its jarring and fucking stupid. Its like "we're remaking Cleopatra but this time we're having...

it goes without saying that for the few weeks or months when fresh is cheaper or equal, you buy fresh. Or it should go without saying if some body didnt cherry pick counter examples to argue a really silly point. My argument was obviously "dont insist on buying fresh because its often much...

I thought this was the "eating on a budget thread", not the "FOH gourmet chefs thread" Frozen vegetables are way cheaper, available year round, have more consistent quality across different stores, and nutritionally nearly identical to fresh. No one disagrees fresh veggies taste better. Of...

Taste? hell yeah. No comparison.

OK. What is the obsession with "fresh produce"? The nutritional difference between fresh, canned, and frozen is very very minor in most cases. Insisting on fresh produce is antithetical to eating cheap. I thought the goal was to eat a reasonable tasty and nutritious diet for a very small amount...

This discussion of produce quality at specific grocery seems like an irrelevant tangent. Yes, at any grocery store, sometimes a particular item looks shitty (like the tomatoes posted earlier) or a particular item is too expensive that week. So you don't get those items that week. Or you go to...

In all seriousness, yes, our sample sizes are too small to draw statistically significant conclusions. I just dont think that means we should return to pointless theorycrafting abut which one "should" be better or worse for kids.

You misread my post. All women I've known from divorced homes are unstable and crazy, specifically when it comes to relationships with men. Some small fraction of women I've known from intact families are marginally less crazy. Zero versus a small fraction is a difference.

Number of stable, well adjusted women I've ever met who came from a divorced home: 0 Number of women I've met who had shitty parents: lots. most? Trying to argue from theory about which one "should" be worse for kids is one thing, but when I look at the evidence I have a hard time escaping the...

... and now I watched Ep 1. WTF did I just watch? Amy is a black girl and Babcock is a hot chick? Modern casting is so SJW it can't even be parodied.

The books had some really great parts, it was actually a pretty interesting look at the vampire apocalypse. Then that fucking ending that makes Stephen King look like a master of a well-crafted ending. Perhaps the worst ending in memory to any book I've ever enjoyed. Earlier parts were the...

I dont understand this thread. Grown up forum requires us to pretend that period blood doesnt stink? I dont care how much you like your woman, her shit still smells like shit and her period blood still smells like period blood. Doesnt mean sex is off the table, but lets acknowledge that the...

I get the historical point you're making, but a. Having kids without being married doesnt work well. Marriage is in the best interests of the children. b. they didnt always call it marriage but the pair bond has probably been around for several million years. Marriage just codified that...

This is an unbreakable law of the universe. Well said.

How about "do you want your genetic lineage to go extinct forever, or get married with all its pros and cons?"

The fact that marriage has become a one-sided contract is a problem with no-fault divorce, not a problem with marriage. Regardless, if you dont get divorced, that part is a non issue. Marriage is about producing children (evolutionary success), not some kind of mechanism to optimize fun. With...

Yeah, I agree but this was way too far on the other end of the spectrum. Take Primer for example. No one could accuse them of holding your hand. Watched it > 3 times and still have moments of confusion. But at the same time, no one can accuse Primer of not telling the story. This movie was...

LOL very well put. >10 years into marriage and I still cant keep track of all these meaningless details and am still getting in trouble for it. Dating two women? Fuck that. My wife likes to open damn near every statement with "remember X that I told you about?" Now really, her goal is to get...

When every remake of any property in a genre sucks balls, that may be telling you something about the genre itself. Just sayin.

Fuck writers who think its artistically interesting to set up a big mystery and never explain even the smallest part of it. This could have been an interesting movie if they'd bothered to actually tell the fucking story.

Absolutely loved the visual style. Hands down best visual recreation of a comic book style in a movie that I've ever seen. And as someone who often bitches at forced diversity in superhero movies.... not one second of diversity in this movie felt forced. Really, really well done. This goes...

This. Its like reading reports from a third world country, or those rat overcrowding experiments. People walk right onto your porch and take shit? LOL

Great trailer. I am amazed how theyve taken a bunch of c-list comic book characters and turned it into not only the biggest superhero blockbuster movies ever, but also movies with genuine emotional impact. April is so fucking far away.

In fairness, I am not at all sure that what Lumi is arguing is contrary to Eintein's concept of relativity. Does time actually move at different rates for two different observers or does it just appear to from the perspective of those observers? I'm not sure thats a crazy question to ask. If it...

People who call actresses "actors". I mean, WTF is gained by this? She's obviously a woman. She acts. The word you're looking for is actress.
