    The Green Knight (2020)

    I dont get why people keep thinking this is a rebuttal. "The current trend to replace whites with blacks is fucking retarded" "Oh yeah? Heres an example of a raceswapping casting decision that happened once, so you're wrong!" Its not even clear why this example was chosen, since he seems to...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    what the fuck, it has nothing to do with "representation" at all. Casting a black guy for a white character is bad for the same reason casting a fat actor for a skinny character is bad. If 100% of the characters in a particular source material are white, then 100% of the actors cast to play...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    We've discussed the pattern ad nauseum. Its nearly every time, within that specific pattern. And almost never, outside of that. But I'm sure its all a coincidence that only racists would spin into a pattern.

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    Dont be ridiculous. Country music has melody. They sing. You can dislike it (although that opinion would be wrong) but you can't pretend country music has the clunky, inelegant, mumble mouthed tough guy talking over repetitive electronic noises thing that defines rap. Country musicians play...

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    Its literally just talking in an aggressive or sing-song way while repetitive noises play in the background. No shit, we never liked the genre in the first place. Rap / hip hop /whatever you want to call the shit is the musical equivalent of the kid who was already growing a mustache in...

    I'm unable to find a picture of Fry with his eyes scrunched up a little bit further, and unwilling to take the time to photoshop one. what to do?

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    I dunno if this was just sarcasm too subtle for me, but you just talked about the musical contribution of blacks while also bringing up rap.

    Jupiter's Legacy

    all this discussion about the test has me wondering, did they go into detail about that in the jupiters circle comics? I loved the jupiters legacy ones but couldnt handle more than a couple pages of the art in jupiters circle. Do they show the test somewhere in those?

    Tenet (2020)

    We're nitpicking over oxygen while debating time inversion - I recognize this. but no, houseplants don't do anything meaningful in terms of oxygen production. They'd have to go with like a warehouse full of O2 tanks or something.

    yeah, it seems like thats why they added it.

    Tenet (2020)

    yes, that was my complaint. Its overdone to such an extent that by the time they "reveal" the third pincer its like "who gives a shit? Don't you guys have any other tricks you can do with time inversion?" I'm still stuck on how they brought back enough inverted oxygen for sparkly vampire to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Youre missing the point while wagging your dick about being "literary" No I havent read In Cold Blood. Know why? I read what it was about and it didnt sound interesting. When I read what The Gunslinger was about, I picked it up and read it. Theres no doubt in my mind Capote did some clever...

    pop up in your time? you mean change direction in time or snap back to the point in time when you entered? Every time I consider re watching this to answer questions like this one, I find something better to do. Its funny, I enjoyed it on the first watch but the thought of a second viewing...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    lol. No. The word you are looking for is Indian, or (to put it in UK terms) ""Asian"" English actors look like Benedictine Cummerbund The role is for a (fictional but this doesnt matter) English Knight from the 6th century or so. Casting an Indian in this role makes exactly as much sense as...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Heres the thing. King wrote about vampires, psychic powers, aliens, and other interesting shit. Capote wrote about family drama and coming of age as a homosexual or some shit. It really doesnt matter how good Capote was at placing commas or using his thesaurus. This just makes King a better...

    Tenet (2020)

    The more I've thought about this movie the more I've realized theres something I missed. Not sure I care enough to watch it a second time. Its basic, but oh well. What the fuck happens at the end of each inverted trip? So you're going forward through time, then you enter the turnstile, and...

    Jupiter's Legacy

    as far as I can tell the code is entirely a creation of the show. It seems silly. only speculating, maybe they are doing it to make Walters side more sympathetic, by setting up a conflict where Sheldon's side is clearly wrong.

    Jupiter's Legacy

    Caught up on the comics, which I'd never read. Fun rabbit hole. Except the art in Jupiters Circle I and II was a style I dislike so much I didnt read those. Its funny, they copied visuals from the comics almost exactly in many cases, to a really impressive degree. Costumes, hairstyles, casting...

    Jupiter's Legacy

    This is what makes it work for me. the contrast is obvious when they switch times. otherwise I hate the constant back and forth style so many shows do now. Here, I don't mind at all. And the past story is easily the best part so far.

    Tenet (2020)

    I know, I guess thats the third (or 4th?) one I was referring to. Frustrating because its such a cool idea when you first hear it, then they proceed to beat it to death until it becomes boring and expected by the end. They should have built up to it. This would also have given more time to...

    Tenet (2020)

    Finally had a chance to watch this. Really liked it and don't get some of the criticisms here. I will say, the temporal pincer thing seems kinda over used / badly introduced. It seems like the first conflict with inverted bad guys, they introduced the temporal pincer idea. Then at least two...

    I'll eat raw eggs in a variety of dishes without giving a second thought to the tiny risk of salmonella. Raw cookie dough is still fucking gross.

    Shadow and Bone

    lol no, gay identity is an invention of the 21st century west. But thats fine, we can agree to disagree. For the record I don't find the show woke at all, aside from the silly "look theres gays everywhere cause thats normal" thing. Low on the woke scale overall.

    Shadow and Bone

    To be clear, since several people have misinterpreted it, my comment wasnt about the existence of a gay guy. It was that everywhere he goes he magically encounters other gays. When he's not boning random stableboys (cause in the real world a large percentage of random stableboys are gay, thats...

    Shadow and Bone

    That gay sharpshooter guy, its like everywhere he goes the people he happens to bump into other gays. Like he emits a gayness field that turns anyone in his vicinity gay. Perfectly normal medieval fantasy setting... then out of nowhere BAM its the fucking pride parade in the tenderloin...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    This was good. The whole pretending anyone gives a shit that Captain America is black thing was retarded, but its clown world where we convict cops for arresting violent criminals. You've gotta expect some of that is gonna creep into TV. Considering this aired in the era of BLM I'm surprised it...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Captain Marvel was boring and bland, and Brie has the charisma of a potato. But the biggest reason the movie was shit was the character's arc and the central message. "When men try to get you to control your emotions, they're making you weaker. Let your emotions flare up out of control and...

    Justice League (2017)

    Wait was that random black chick in the car supposed to be Iris West? Why would they blackwash the same character twice, have they just retconned Iris West to be black now as part of comics canon? Oh thats right, any character with red hair has to be blackwashed. I forgot The Plan.
