You guys all look so…homogeneous.

It's no "batmanmobile", but at least there's a logic behind "basketsball".

My parts are showing? Oh, my goodness! Oh!

Obviously, nothing good (at least movie-wise) has come out of the Star Wars camp since 1983. It would be nice if Disney could remember that. Also, if they would just scrap this whole venture - we don't need another JJ Abrams steaming retcon dump.

I tend to think that 95% of performance art is the result of mental illness or drug-addiction making the performer believe themself to be more clever than is justified.

Oh god, I just realized I'm not supposed to know what a Directioner is!

Well, it was a great idea if what he wanted to bring out was how wacky and disgusting his character was. Calling the lens choice into question is really a sly way of calling the character's existence into question.

It's always dangerous to ask the "too much" question. That gets you mired in all sorts of arguments in which you'd rather not participate. Consequently, I prefer to simply roll my eyes in an exaggerated manner and walk away.

I googled this, and I'm not sure I should have. You see, I now have a horrendous headache, the result of repeated facepalming.
