    The I-Land

    2 ep in. I strongly suspect the story ends up being shallow and dumb. But that ass. I'm still watching.

    Carnival Row

    It never stopped being funny for me. How many millions did they spend on effects, sets, costumes, etc. But I guess finishing Dany's makeup so she looked like an actual blonde person would have been too much. Perhaps the makeup people have never met a blonde before? I mean, they're super rare in...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Fuck touch screens. An increasing number of devices use this fucking interface. Literally 9 times out of ten when I touch a touch screen, nothing happens. Whether its a smartphone or a self checkout screen or video screen on an airplane seat. Touch screen, no response whatsoever. Touch it...

    Epic. Made me hungrier than probably half the posts in the cooking thread. That must smell amazing.

    Better Jeans and Where to Find Them

    Pro-tip: if your jeans are tight enough they need to be stretchy, OR if your jeans are made partly of spandex, those are ladies jeans. In case a picture helps, this is what Mens jeans look like

    Carnival Row

    Thats my wifes argument but we haven't spotted any convincing shots showing this. It appears to me the effects people just assumed penises are strong enough to support the weight of a full grown man. Whatever, still hot

    This is the conversation my wife and I have every time they show this. "That would rip your dick off!"

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Youre defending the casting of a black dude as a Viking god? Not a serious person. There are borderline, "grey area" kind of cases, and there are LMFAO obvious in-your-face kind of cases. This is the latter.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    A single episode of Happy Days was immortalized when the world coined the phrase "jump the shark" to describe that moment when a TV series reaches the end of a good run and turns to shit. After this is released, the phrase "A-Force" will be immortalized as meaning that moment when a movie...

    Carnival Row

    I'm pretty sensitive to SJW bullshit and havent felt like this was SJW, at least so far (ep 2 or 3). Khane is right: depicting the plight of underclass migrants isnt somehow inherently SJW. Plus, floating fairy sex. We were just trying to figure out why most fairy whores dye their hair blue...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I have a hobby I'm obsessed with, saltwater aquariums. Trading and selling in this hobby is very decentralized; you can buy from individual hobbyists, wholesalers, retailers, or directly from aquaculture or collectors. So a part of the fun and challenge is finding new sources for fish and...

    Dune (2020)

    There is no suggestion anywhere in the books that the Fremen are African or partially African in origin. The descriptions fall somewhere between dark-skinned European and Middle Eastern. Look at the choice for Stilgar. Pretty much perfect. But I will say I'm encouraged by the Stilgar casting...

    Dune (2020)

    Fuck. I forgot about that. You are absolutely 110% correct. Blackchani alone isn't proof of SJW casting fuckery, but gender swapping Liet Kynes plus raceswapping Chani... thats SJW casting fuckery. This will go the way of the Gunslinger and A Wrinkle in Time.

    Dune (2020)

    ... this actually looks really good. I bitched a lot abut Chani but apparently it wasnt part of a broad race swapping in this case. As a diehard Dune fan and stickler for casting... I am pleasantly surprised. A couple people have mentioned Paul being scrawny. I dont get it; he wasnt some big...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Besides, randomly selecting across the universe instead of randomly selecting within each world would do nothing about resource consumption. Some worlds would get wiped out entirely and others barely affected. Movie-Thanos was retarded but not that retarded.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    The carrying capacity of Earth is closer to 14 billion. Movie-Thanos was an idiot. Comic book Thanos in contrast was just doing something dumb to get laid, which is more understandable.

    Wheel of Time

    LMFAO Egwene and Nynaeve (sp) are fugly black chicks. Of course they are. Of course they are. And theyve shoehorned in yet another black female - white male relationship. And theyve cast yet another redhead (which are more f a minority than blacks with a history of oppression) with a black...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It sounds like you've got other issues going on too, but IMO it'd be a good idea to let go of the political/philosophical stuff. All women are kind of retarded about political/philosophical stuff. They can't help it, they've got malfunctioning emotion chips. I have immense respect for my wife...

    Legion

    dammit, thats the kind of post that always does this to me. Next thing you know I'll try Legion again and before you know it, I'll be WTFing my way through a scene with unknown characters that havent been introduced, doing some kind of bizarre dance, and it'll turn out nothing in the scene...

    Stranger Things

    Yeah, that was my only gripe with it. And I get that probably the explanation is she wasnt out of the closet at that point, but it still deserves some dialogue. "WTF, 3 scenes ago you were telling me how you had a crush on me all year" Other than that, didnt bug me at all. She never even...

    Legion

    I have tried probably 8 or 10 times to watch this show. I make it an episode, or part of an episode, before I'm like WTF is this shit ? Then a few weeks go by, I read this discussion, and I think " that show sounds awesome, I should give it another try"

    Listening to British people try to convince everyone else that there is some real distinction between different British accents always reminds me of listening to Asians try to convince everyone else theres some real distinction between different Asian ethnicities.

    Dune (2020)

    I initially wrote that but they'd already called option 3 the golden path so I edited it back out. I'm ashamed to confess I read most of the stuff by Brian Herbert too. I regret it. I kept hoping he'd d something cool with that amazing material. After three trilogies I realized he was never...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    All this fixation on when someone said he didnt like his wife? I don't really like my boss, my parents, my kids, or my dog all the time, either. Don't see whats so odd about a person in a long marriage sometimes not liking their spouse. And its absurd to suggest the kids would be better off in...

    I also thought he was being Australian but I pretty much cant tell the difference between British, South African, and Australian. They all just sound like someone trying to say things in the fanciest, most old fashioned way possible. Kiwis sound different because of their odd vowel swapping...

    The Boys

    While I'm tempted to believe the worst, there doesnt seem to be much evidence against Mrs Butcher at this point. She may have been raped; the security cam footage certainly supports that. Afterwards, its clear she was made some kind of offer but the details remain unknown. If she was raped and...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Seems like a lot of people are getting hung up on the "same sex" aspect of "that's gay". And from a semantic perspective, I can't disagree at all. But what about the "theres nothing appealing about a dick in your ass" aspect? I think this part may be getting overlooked, is all I'm saying.

    If you're washing the inside of your anus during a shower, then we are just having very different shower experiences. And I am OK with that.

    I enjoy that you put 'dirty' in quotes as if the anus wasnt actually a dirty place filled with chunks of poop and disease-causing pathogens. Just a mental block

    LMFAO Liet-Kynes is a black woman now? And also the mother of black-Chani? Gee, I wonder if theyre gonna pay careful attention to the source material in making this film. What could go wrong?

    The Boys

    This is a great answer and I hadnt thought enough about the fact that the center of gravity and the point of structural integrity need to coincide for a Homelander catch, but not for a landing.
  36. Aldarion

    The Boys

    You make a fair point that my landing gear example oversimplifies it. What I was going for is this. There are a few (3?) landing gears on large jets. The initial landing often involves only the front gears, which is what I had in mind. For that moment, the weight of the plane is resting on the...

    The Boys

    As a separate point. I see several people describing sympathy for Homelander. While I totally agree that they did a great job of making it so no one is black or white, and even the psycho villains are complex 3 dimensional characters, I dont actually feel any sympathy for Homelander. I get it...
  38. Aldarion

    The Boys

    Funny, I disliked that scene exactly because of that argument. Only bad part of an otherwise awesome episode. Because Homelander was an idiot and was wrong. When a plane lands its entire weight is resting on the landing gear. Hitting the runway at several hundred miles an hour, weighing fuck...

    The tradeoffs brought up by the anti-deep-fryers are true, but there is just no substitute for actual deep frying. Its worth the pain.
