Still better than Stolen Summer.

Dear fuck, Occupy encampments were nothing like this. And yes, I was at many, and I've been to Burning Man. No it's not like BM either, that's why I qualified it as Christian nonsense. The larger point being… having a naked guy pilloried against his will for days and law enforcement not stepping in isn't fucking

I fucking hated that ending. Not only do I hate self righteous meaningless martyrdom bullshit, but it also isn't logical at all. The area around Miracle is a fucking unconstitutional police state that somehow allows people to set up 17th century pillories just outside of town? Not at all jivving with the Christian

How much time does he have to serve for his crime, how much money does he have to pay to his victim? As I understand he paid $500K+ to the teenager he wronged, did 30+ days in jail, and only fled when it seemed an over ambitious DA was looking to screw him over on a plea deal. In no way am I condoning what he did,

A lesbian that gets "serviced" under the desk from time to time by Chief Barbrady?

Tweek & Craig getting paid was the funniest running gag for me. This show and this country has come such a long way from 1997 and "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride". The joke is (as I interpret it anyway) that society, in part, has become so hypersensitive and overly PC that just happily accepting that someone is gay

Dorothy deadpaning "This sucks." in between plungings of her head into a toilet bowl elicited the loudest cackle of laughter from me. (and there were quite a few)

Great read. It seems his asshole nature was greatly amplified by doing YEARS in prison for hashish. As always, fuck the Drug War.

The scene where Buscemi crosses Billy Madison off his "People to Kill" list and puts on lipstick while listening to ELO is fucking brilliant.

The "You really got a hold on me" song and the orange singing opera were nightmare fuel for me as a toddler.

The re-release of E.T. where FBI agents with walkie talkies sure did scare the fuck out of me… as in a where has this country gone with all the post 9/11 fear-mongering, pro war, the government can do no wrong, you are either with us or against us, these songs can no longer be played on radio stations, and the Feds

That brief image of that black man [not African but totally black] loading the cages… and the implicit message of the Blue Fairy: If you don't always walk the "straight and narrow" and be a total conformist your whole life, you'll be sold into a child sex slavery ring. Wish upon a fucking star my ass.

I read it somewhere that for months after Barry Lyndon Kubrick was in between projects and was looking for a novel to adapt. His assistants described the process of him being in a room with the door closed: pick up a new book from a stack he was offered, read it for about 15 minutes, throw the book against the wall

I had Ghostbusters for my Apple 2c which was basically the same as the NES version, but you know, playable and fun. Only like a year ago after playing the NES version on an emulator did I finally understand the horror stories and phrases from 20+ years like "stairway of doom" made any sense.

What the shit is this new wave of looking back fondly at games that absolutely sucked and giving them this revisionist history of "oh, it was actually a good game, you just didn't understand." Anyone else see that Atari documentary that came out this past year? About the ET cartridges being buried in the desert? At

Mooching war widows…

You're not one of those assholes who still calls Muhammad Ali "Cassius Clay" are you?

Reading the comments I think what's happening is a "two Americas" thing. Of course there are still ignorant rednecks and hicks out there that need to be educated well into adulthood how to function in polite society. Like the "It Gets Better" messages that was like missionary work to give hope to a depressed gay

People have a right to be addressed how they want and I have a right to roll my eyes.

Oh c'mon, you can't blame South Park for ignorant assholes being ignorant assholes. The joke wasn't that climate change isn't real, but that Al Gore is a self-important fraud shitbag that sold a weak ass powerpoint presentation as "Must see cinema if you care about the environment!" as if he were the first person to
