“My sadistic misery porn just isn’t fun anymore!”

I’ve heard some podcasts with people who say “arright” every single fucking time they pause. It’s so damned annoying. Maybe it’s a regionalism.

1) The snitches know how far along the pregnancy is... how, exactly?

Phil Tippet designed a stop-motion puppeteering system for the dragon in the movie Dragonslayer that moved the model while the camera shutter was open, creating motion blur naturally. Without this idiotic soap opera look. And that was back in 1981.

The “explanation” is that people have to come in after the fact to paper over the utter fucking cluelessness of the movies’ writers when it comes to space. The whole “hyperspace routes” thing was to explain away how a 2D array of ships could blockade a planet in 3D space. 

I suppose we can assume that these will have the generic replacement OP and ED themes instead of the originals. The home video rights for those songs would have cost more than the rights to the whole series, so they said no thanks.

“Why is my sadistic misery porn so dark and cynical?”

It also helped that the actor playing the younger T’Chaka was the actor’s son.

Walmart is basically where people go to act out in real life how they behave on the internet.

>That’s the realm populated by the angelic Valar, their heavenly subservients, the Maiar,

It’s okay, her eye makeup will scare away the aliens.

Lain and Big O both had the same scriptwriter, BTW.

Speaking as the guy who translated both Lain and SAC, you have it backwards. I did the sub translation first, and the dub script was made from that. That’s how it’s always done. I guess it’s possible that some compilation rereleases that are on store shelves these days repurpose the closed captioning track from the TV …

Good luck finding either season with the original soundtracks, though. Both opening themes were lawyered out of existence (the first was ... let’s say an homage to Queen’s Flash Gordon theme, and the second was pretty much identical to that of an old Gerry Anderson show called UFO), as were a few incidental music cues…

I think of it more as sadistic misery porn, where horrible people do horrible things to each other. I’ve got the nightly news for that.

I had to fast-forward through any scenes that Bishop was in because every time I see/hear him, I want to smash his hipster head in with a brick. The visceral hatred is instant. I haven’t had that reaction since those Dr. Squatch Soap ads on Youtube with the equally punchable hipster.

I also like “in testing, this new CPU returned respectful results” (instead of respectable).

Blaming Biden’s people makes perfect sense if you pretend that the handover wasn’t negotiated with the Taliban - with the Afghan government left out of the talks - in 2020. Why weren’t plans made *then* by Trump’s team?

Rogan is one of - if not *the* - biggest disinformation disease vector in the world today. But he’ll suffer no consequences and be allowed to continue doing it because his corporate sponsors are making too much money.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, not Winston.
