The book, “Dune” is a standard Campbell hero’s journey that deals with colonialism.

Having dumped a ridiculous (ridiculously ridiculous) number of hours into Pacific Drive, I can’t shake the feeling that this game is going to catch a ton of people by surprise the way Hades did way back when.

I forgot that was Miley on Come Get it Bae. Sometimes her voice outperforms how much I respect her voice.

I enjoyed Anthem for a couple hours. The controls are really satisfying and it’s fun flying around these beautiful environments.

The children aren’t even armed with stones, now they’re getting shot in the back of the head while waiting in line for food. At this point, Israel’s declaring to the world that there is a very big barrel in need of some fish and the US is providing the guns and bombs to tear that barrel to shreds.

Israel needs people to believe there is no safe place for Jewish people outside of Israel in order to stop its hemorrhaging population due to a rise in fascism and curtailed civil rights domestically.

I find it amusing that we talk about compromise as if Israel isn’t the one in violation of international borders.

Also, it’s the most emo superhero movie to ever emo. There’s a casual sincerity to the writing that’s kind of disorienting and really thrilled me as a kid.

As a vegan, Suicide Spaghetti was a masterpiece. Every few minutes I grew less comfortable and laughed even harder.

Story train is terrible. Doubly terrible when you realize Joseph Campbell was a hack Nazi apologist misogynist antisemite whose writing advice was literally, “Be rich and do whatever, man. Also all my favorite stories are the most important stories ever written, just ignore what those stories are actually about or…

So when does Super Earth arm and fund some third enemy committing a genocide that the automatons have to stop?

They changed showrunners (executive producer David Wiener replaced creators and co-showrunners Steven Kane and Kyle Killen who moved onto Jack Ryan). The directors don’t decide the plot of the episodes.

I will forever be confused about tv adaptions of anything (games, books etc) not following the original plot, given that the reason (usually) the tv adaption is being made in the first place is due to the widespread popularity of the original plot.

Well, you gave it your best shot. Not everyone is prepared to embrace greatness when it arrives.

Almost 70% of Americans vote. Almost everybody you have ever heard complain about politics is complaining because they were forced to vote for some psychopath.

Ignoring Trump is his kryptonite. But corporate media is going to platform him to get right-wing viewership numbers anyway. The only useful thing ever done to counter this was the live fact-checking that CNN gave up once Trump agreed to do a Town Hall with them.

No one has AppleTV+ unless it comes free with their internet subscription.

Democrats don’t want to just win. They want people to rewrite history to believe no other Democrat could ever have won so no one sees them pull the same move next time. And one day people will simply let them decide the president without a primary getting in the way.

You joke, but dang, they got real “race-essentialist” with these books. Even when they had a nice weasel that the book did its best to remind you was deep down still evil by birth.

You doing okay, man? When I’m replying to a single post, I have to encapsulate all of the other comments in the thread in a single retort to avoid posting 20 times. This wasn’t meant as a personal slam dunk against you.
