I'm generalizing from a handful of examples, but it seems more common in Japan for people to want to cover their faces when they post stuff on the Internet, even when they're doing something less creepy than buying boxloads of AKB48.

Hey everybody, an old man is talking.

That's the worst name I've ever heard.

I just tweeted Spike Jonze's address.

Something something Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Please, Mohd doesn't even remotely hide when he's talking about 4chan.

I can't watch this trailer right now and wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the earlier ones, but the movie just won points for using the word robophobe.

Tolkien never sold the film rights to the Silmarillon, and Christopher Tolkien doesn't seem like he'd be in any hurry to sell.

Saul Goodman and Tobias Funke starting a sketch comedy show together is an entirely realistic situation which should be depicted in full detail.

Asparagus is delicious.

Lazy Swedes?

I was thinking about how Peter Dinklage was a wedding planner in The Baxter, Michael Showalter's self-aware romantic comedy. (But that was more of a full-on parody than this sounds like.)

Putting on a dress for stage/film counts as crossdressing. Crossdressing just means wearing clothes associated with the opposite sex. It doesn't specify what sort of motive people have for doing it. It can be fetishistic, it can be a fashion choice, it can be for acting, it can be because you want to rent an apartment…

Groin is a funnier word, because it's got an "oi" in it. That's comedy for you.

A "conventionally hot" woman who sounded like Tina would be pretty interesting too.

And when I read your sentence I must've stopped halfway through to try to read the sentence "high society" in Barney Fife's voice. Seems like the sort of thing he'd say.

I think Jim Davis just has some weird ideas buried underneath being a shameless sellout.

Well I haven't seen the movie so I was merely speaking in general principles: it's not inherently insulting that 1940s audiences might not have liked what we might now. If it fails in a more fundamental sense then sure.

People expect a film to uphold certain cinematic conventions, and the conventions of the 1940s were not those of the present day. Not because the people were stupid and naive, but movies were just different back then.

HateSong has made me appreciate how I benefit from not caring much about lyrics, and only paying attention to them when they are very clearly enunciated which they aren't in this song. (Or in "mediocre 90s alternative" in general.)
