Whenever I think of the Bootstrap paradox, the first thing I think of is Michael Moorecock's Behold The Man but they couldn't reference that on a family show like Doctor Who.

When I lived in Minneapolis, there were at least a dozen Miike movies circulating through the library system. Minneapolis has a particularly good library system though, don't know if your town compares, worth a look though.

It will become like a hipster Best Buy. You won't actually rent movies there, you'll just go there to get ideas for things to download off The Pirate Bay.

My favorite Miike movie is his children's movie, The Great Yokai War. It's as fucked up as you'd imagine although I don't know enough about Japan to say if that's because Miike directed it or if that's what all Japanese children's movies are like. There's a war between the yokai (spirits), only children can see them

The language barrier makes it hard for Japanese people to realize what's cool and what isn't. I'm reminded of when Gainax made Panty and Stocking because they thought Drawn Together was the pinnacle of American animation.

Why would you single out Catholicism? There are Protestant churches which reject Trinitarianism and and literally say Jesus ISN'T God, he is a totally separate entity. That's more like polytheism.

The idea that the Hindu gods are all part of the same whole is not something that is universally accepted and is really only a recent development and only among richer, more Westernized Hindus.

Are you saying Miley tries too hard to look sexy? I think she tries too hard to be provocative but she's certainly never tried to appear traditionally attractive. She hasn't even had long hair since she was on Disney Channel, which is like the number one way to buck Hollywood beauty standards.

Judy Greer is the new Anna Faris.

Prediction for next season, Rick is pardoned for helping fight evil Morty. Or they just do a hard re-set and never explain it.

Tammy was deep cover…d in bukkake.

Nah man, I gotta say it, choice of "Hurt" was way too on the nose. Otherwise, good episode but seriously, that song was cheesy as hell.

Buddhism is just giving up in yoga pants.

Of course, if not for humans, there would be hundreds of thousands of whales in the sea, so they could afford to have a couple hundred wash up on the beach.

In any situation where you lack human contact, as human contact is necessary to keep from going insane. A lot of POWs in Vietnam made up imaginary friends to keep from going crazy.

I would draw the line between things that are anti-PC and things that are actually racist. Bernie Sanders saying "there aren't enough jobs in this country so we probably shouldn't have an open door to low skilled workers who will compete for those jobs and drive down wages even more" is an example of something

Modern feminism is weird because at once it both claims that anyone who thinks women should be able to vote is a feminist (in which case, basically 95% of the population is feminist) but they're also constantly on the look out for micro-aggressions which they can use to label people misogynists and thus rule out

Good but not out of the park.

I'm thinking Todd killed them all by burning the house down after January Jones left him.

The most unbelievable thing about this show isn't the lack of bodies, it's the AMOUNT OF BODY…in Carol's hair.
