The moment that brass starts as they clash is one of my favorite fucking moments in cinema. I so desperately love that movie. I walked out of the theater with a huge smile on my face all 3 times.

Ay-Ay-Ron’s story is effing ridiculous. A vodka martini isn’t even a cocktail, it’s really cold vodka in a chilled martini glass with a garnish. How in god’s name would you order one with some olive brine in it and call foul on the low temp? It’s basically the whole fucking drink!

It scares me that all Chi-O’s look the same. I mean, I know why, but it’s so eerie, I could have sworn I went to school with a couple of those women, 8 years ago.

This is a 100% correct analysis. The fact that conditions for developers are almost universally poor is an indictment of the general way games are made, and a signal that labor needs to be organized in the industry.

6. DO NOT PLAY SPADES. Even if your black friend tries to teach you how to play. They’re gonna get you FUCKED UP. No matter what you do, don’t get on the spades table talking ’bout you “learned” how to play. You do not learn how to play spades. Black people just know. Like we just know how to do the Electric Slide or…

I don’t have periods (penis ftw) but I think it’s interesting that people (men and women) seem to believe it’s unnatural not to have one. In a sense it’s actually unnatural to menstruate, because “nature” expects women to be constantly pregnant after reaching sexual maturity, right up until their death at 20 from…

Could anyone with a background in bankruptcy law explain the functional difference between a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and a Chapter 13?

One of my favorite Bible passages, and also the source of a great TV show line: “There is one rule here: ‘Render unto Caesar.’ I’ll leave it to you to decide which of us is Caesar...and which is to do the rendering.”

Mason and Dixon had a plan for this, but no one listened.

Admittedly it’s been a while since I last saw Deliverance, but (as someone who was born in Kentucky) I feel like this is a pretty hateful comparison to make. What did hill country rapists ever do to you that deserved being compared to Mike Huckabee?

I’m a little surprised a German driver and a car with Munich plates were taken all the way across Germany and the Netherlands to Rotterdam just to film this. Weren’t there any roads in the Alps they could close?

Ideally it would do both.

I’d love a short, sweet Destiny spin-off shooter that lets you play through this story. Steal the narrator conceit from Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and go.

Well, a broiler is an upside down grill (or a grill is an upside down broiler). A Salamander broiler differs from the broilers used in a steakhouse in size and placement. In my (admittedly limited) experience, I’ve only seen a Salamander mounted over a stove, and the kitchen staff usually use them for crisping skin or…

Great, now I have to break out my GameCube and replay Skies of Arcadia. Thanks, Obama!

Wow, by homeopathy standards that’s a shitload of science!

The main roster (RAW/Smackdown/PPVs) can be hit and miss, because Vince McMahon has somehow forgotten how to build a solid program. As haters in this thread might note, there’s a substantial amount of reality TV dreck that you get access to with WWE Network, but in addition to the older school stuff (Attitude Era and…

Seriously? Not a single mention of Bill Willingham’s retrograde politics, which pervade Fables from beginning to end? It’s a great premise, taken to some very interesting places, with some excellent art, but it’s ultimately ruined by the fact that its writer is a reactionary asshole.

I live in Germany and travel almost exclusively by train. I do like the occasional road trip, but for bigger cities I save myself the cost of parking and the aggravation of getting into and out of the city by car. First class seating with Deutsche Bahn isn’t prohibitively expensive, and is vastly more comfortable than…

Well, part of the issue is that previous powerhouse European teams like Na’Vi and Alliance have been split up to an extent. Alliance in particular has also suffered from the meta swinging firmly away from the play-style they were so well known for.
