Portman may have won an Oscar a few years later for Black Swan but her performance as Evey is definitely on par with that.

In the graphic novel, WWIII breaks out between the US and the USSR (which didn’t seem quite so farfetched in the early ‘80s, and almost happened in late 1983 — look up Able Archer if you want to have trouble sleeping at night). This has the effect of wiping out a massive chunk of the world’s population and…

The graphic novel is a damning indictment of Thatcherism and the film changes very little of that aspect of it. Maybe fascists are just fascists wherever and whenever they are?

That’s a movie where a guy furnishes an entire subterranean lair with stolen things from the government... he has ways.

The other reason people hated on it is because it was apparently not remotely true to the source material.

Great Britain under an isolationist, ultraconservative authoritarian government that uses a pandemic to control its people?

RV Driver: “Wow, this thing is really struggling.”

I don’t know why but given all that shittiness in the past 24 hours, this picture made me really happy.

This is why the video evidence of my assorted crimes won’t hit YouTube until after I’m dead.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

You are using the “No True Scotsman” fallacy on race. And since race is some made-up shit you can sorta get away with it. But I tell you, if my daughters are black enough to get a heaping dose of racism, they are black enough to be black.

Seems like Markle is not black enough for you to defend her, and not white enough…

I was iffy on this until I found out they added back in the plotline where Anna Paquin’s character, Lisa “Rogue” Cohen, steals people’s powers when she touches them.

Being terrible for the sake of attention is never a good long term strategy. BMW’s just being terrible for the sake of attention. That’s why all of this makes me just hate the cars.

Fuck being ugly just to be different. Fuck being ugly just because it pisses people off and brings eyes to your brand. Fuck being ugly…

The bangle cars were bad in the aughts and they are just as bad today. People may lust after the E60 M5s v10, but nobody really thinks that trunk looks good. 

I finally saw a 4 in the wild and all I could think of was

As a designer myself, I would like to respectfully disagree. With both you and the article. The worst design is always the pointlessly vulgar. That said, there is actually one function to the obnoxious mole rat grille: It distracts from the shockingly shoddy detailing around it. The rear doesn’t have that luxury.

The XJ is design perfection, at least the 84-96 models.
