    Cruella (2021)

    There is no way that movie made numbers to justify a sequel. Even the leftist POSes I know avoided this shitshow. I literally know no one who has seen this thing.

    The Mandalorian

    Maybe, but in that LARP she probably has photos of Iger, Lucas, and Speilberg boning kids on Epstein's island ready to be released via deadman switch.

    The Mandalorian

    They have been gradually clipping her wings after she shit up the franchise with the latest trilogy and Soylo movie. This is compounded by her alienating every single director she has worked with who is not a complete yes man. She had lots of social pressure, because the mouse is trying to...

    A lot of classic military acronyms and terms have made into the popular vernacular. AWOL, SNAFU, BOHICA, Catch-22, and Frag being among my favorites. Also, pretty sure Manessa will keep circling back once he dries up whatever his alternate attention whoring community is. But I agree with...

    Mental Exercise: Games where the plot is primarily exposed via found recordings.

    If you are super old, Starflight 1 and 2 was a lot of finding history on dead worlds (including earth itself) to piece together what was going on. That is really the first one I can remember doling out the plot that way. Both are excellent games, but dated of course.

    Mental Exercise: Games where the plot is primarily exposed via found recordings.

    Same with Bloodborne. Back in the day System Shock 2 was mostly told through computer/journal entries. Neir 1 and 2 had a fair amount of its story and lore tucked away in notes and item descriptions as well.

    I wanted to come back to this after taking some time to think about a reasonable response. But I think it basically comes down to your age and environment influencing your opinions on this topic. Remember the primary argument several of us are making is not about success or relative popularity...

    Best part of this photoshop derail is he clearly knows the truth about himself or he would not have to photoshop the fuck out of stuff. Nothing I could come up with would be as brutal as the mental gymnastics warm up he must go through every morning when he walks up to the mirror in the...

    I run this game on an emulator PC and its still pretty fucking fun.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Basic Rathbone was specifically cast because he looked like Sherlock Holmes. That was in the first era of talking movies. This is not a new thing.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    I honestly didn't either..... until the Witcher cast the ugliest hook nosed uggo as Triss, after putting the slurpy slinger in the role of Yennifer. I was already full on rustled by the time we got a member of a race notorious for not being able to swim being cast as Ariel in the LA little mermaid.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    I was speaking more to characters that are specifically red head in their source material. I think the drugged out townie ginger from GoT playing phoenix was the last time they cast an actual red head in a role where that was the case.

    Plus its anime, so every character ends up as an old businessman reincarnated into the body of a 13 year old girl.

    Lots of ethnic Germans, but they are mostly drawn from neighboring (read white) regions that originated from the same people in the distant past. Jews on the other hand, are the vaguest group as it can refer to race, culture, or religion. It can refer to any combination of the three. And it...

    PS- Ozzy, Plant, and Daltry also were phenomenal writers with strong voices. That's a better barometer for greatness as a singer, I think. But again, some of the most prolific lead singers in music history were also instrumentalists (even Freddy was a great keyboardist) so there is something...

    There are clearly some rappers/hip hoppers who are better than others (usually the white ones LOL), but unless you want to roll funk in there (and again Chilli Peppers were as good as anyone despite being honkies), I would put the most talented hip hop/rap person ever to exist up against the...

    I maintain that rap/hip hop are shit because any one (black white straight gay whatever) with a fucking electronic music creation software setup and a chip on their shoulder can craft that shit. I again refer to Rockin the Suburbs as a biting commentary on this. The idea that blacks created...

    @Manessa Asians had a five note scale until they did what asians do, namely copy what the round eyes did and made vast technical improvements on it, particularly when it comes to orchestration. And yes, Mars IS the most boring piece from the standpoint of being a musician performing it. Three...

    Not to take the bait, but Mars is arguably the most boring movement. Saturn is my favorite because of the ethereal style of it being unique, especially for the era it was composed. But if you want to talk Mars, the part with the third motiff (starts in the Euphonium and French Horns)...

    No one alive is going to defend Disco or MC Hammer style rap. Not even black people. I agree with a lot of your points but a lot of the good music you cite is by groups that have been around a long ass time. There is no new blow the doors off people groups coming out today revolutionizing...

    No he was an actual talented black musician. But the reality is once you master an instrument, its pretty easy to be competent at the variants. If you can play a double reed instrument, you can pretty much do well with any reed based woodwind (flute is another animal). Brass instruments, if...

    Your contention is that blacks invented jazz, blues, and gospel music whole cloth without any prior influences? The magic dirt just taught them how to blow a horn and do four part harmony? Or are you saying that modern black music is equal or superior to all prior forms of music? I just...

    I personally rate Rise and Fall above Days go By, but that I agree is a matter of taste. And my point is that, no music (from a mechanical standpoint) is not that different from 20-30 years ago. There is more digital aspects to all of it (I am old enough to remember Quadrophonic being a failed...

    Hip hop is the modern version of Wakandans banging rocks together and chanting, just computers have replaced the rocks. Changemymindmeme Ben Folds even wrote a song about white people doing the same shit:

    I bet anything you dig up would be almost entirely pop music, which as stated has always been shit. What you will otherwise find in all those eras (but not so much today) is a lot more variety and musical depth. I can name five different songs from different genres that almost everyone would...

    There are bands that are making entertaining and skilled material, they are just few and far between. Radiohead used to be on that list, but they crawled too far up their own asses since In Rainbows. Muse got too preachy, but their last albumn seems back on track. Queens of the Stone Age and...

    The day hip hop can do something as intricate as the odd time signatures employed in progressive, psychodelic, or even stoner rock (QotSA ftw), it will be one step closer to something not shit. Speaking as a musician, hip hop music is like playing chopsticks when everyone else is doing the Rite...

    As much as I love dogpiling on Manessa, he is actually right about the music stuff. Africans got a head start, simply by existing first, but never got past the banging on shit and simple repetitive chant harmonies. Greeks had scales worked out, along with basic time signatures and structure...
