Go fuck yourself to death.

No, this is the result of 300 MILLION SMALL ARMS IN CIVILIAN HANDS. Guns did this. Republicans wanted guns.

I have and love this french press. I think the clear glass ones are indeed more attractive, but one hungover morning I inserted a spoon to stir my coffee and the glass cracked and upon fielding a literal hot mess, I vowed to buy (this) stainless steel replacement.

Go away, Kathy. The inherent falsity behind your co-opting the Jewish comedienne shtick has never been so apparent. You don’t fucking apologize:

I will forever love Demon Knight.

I am reading the book right now. Super creeped out how every form the Clown takes, there is some detail alluding to his clown form - a tuft of orange hair, some of the poofy orange buttons down his front coat, etc. Even the large bird chasing Mike had the Clown’s eyes.

Wasn’t the new one supposed to be actually good? I’ve not seen it yet, but I’ve heard some largely contrasting opinions.

I understand that concern entirely. The entire gestalt of Akira is rooted in specifically post-WW2 Japanese concerns over the loss of identity, youth rebellion, innocence lost amid reconstruction and shame over nationalism, etc. The entire third act of the manga is entirely Japan-centric nationalism in that they claim

I still think there is some glimmer of hope in a good live-action remake. I have scant faith that any humongous studio would put it in the right hands (and leave their hands out of it), but it’s still possible. The only way it would work, though, is if it’s allowed to become its own animal. Not a strict remake

It needs to be understood that when the film was made, the manga, itself, was still unfinished.

I can only hope that the willfully blind fools open their eyes by the time the ‘18 elections roll around.

Syria is really, really hard. On one hand, the US obviously blew whatever vestige of moral leverage that it had all over Iraq- and the situation there, in turn, is augmenting the crisis in neighbouring Syria. On the other hand:

I agree, blaming Hillary for everything isn’t terribly useful. It’s not right or fair whatsoever, but the specter of scandal plagued her for so many years, Democrats as a party need to review the tapes and learn that pushing a candidate with so much baggage (imaginary or otherwise) is the wrong move; The I-told-you-so

Joe is demonstrably correct. She was not a good candidate. Her efforts to come off as likable and folksy were transparent to nearly everyone. This has as much to do with the fact that she was being somewhat inauthentic as it does with the fact that the American voting public at large is a mess of moronic expectations

My original takeaway was that they were saying people gush over Bill Hicks’ drunk/drug schtick while condemning Amy for saying the same thing. Which would be a fair point if Bill were indeed alive and in his 50s doing the same old thing to any fraction of the applause that she actually receives... but it’s obviously a

Was the joke where a dead guy gets blowjobs? Nice one, Amy.

(Bill Hicks has been dead for like 23 years, you know that, right?)

Alien 3 was a great film, but only the Director’s Cut or, even better, the Assembly Cut, were really worthy of the series. Resurrection was the one we never needed. Ripley should have stayed dead.

Prometheus really elbowed its way into the deliberate panspermia slot for the decade. I think if Del Toro’s At The Mountains were actually made, it would have been the Armageddon to Prometheus’ Deep Impact, but it’s understandably a gamble no studio wanted to make.
