Ahhhh the body horror! It's like seeing inside my skin! I want to cover my eyes but I might miscalculate and accidentally put my fingers underneath them now!

interior. A dark room, single spotlight on our protagonist.
Voice Offscreen: you played a smart game, agent-spy guy. You hid the codes in plain sight.
Spy Guy: Wh-what are you talking about?
VO: buried in your cultural detritus, data files that purportedly chronicle your culture's ascendance.

Well, you know, you're at a party, someone starts passing around weaponized *badly-dubbed impersonator* PARTY FAVORS…

Yellow Millet Dream!

Honestly I feel the same way about There Will Be Blood. The Boogie Nights things is obvious now, after all this time, but I remember when it came out the dick thing threw everyone off - everyone will see the comedy in TWBB in a few years also.

Jeez why go out after that, what, are you going to somehow top that? Now that you've even mentioned "YTB" I'm not going to be able to even sleep tonight.

@Thorzul or, you know, "That's something you should have said to your single uneducated heroin-addict mother last night at the homeless shelter."

@avclub-d4c5630db0ec3444ec43c0982a9e83d3:disqus Yeah but I can't imagine what examples would be appropriate. What you're claiming is a tautology was merely me trying to appease by conceding, because it wasn't germane. I didn't want to suggest he was wrong about the French/German thing - I think he was, but I don't…

There are maybe worse things than being a handsome, famous man who everyone thinks has an enormous penis - but there's not many.

@eric827:disqus wait, are you saying I can't be unusually sensitive to being associated with other ethnicities, or I can't be sensitive to being associated with other ethnicities at all? Hmmmmm…

@avclub-d4c5630db0ec3444ec43c0982a9e83d3:disqus  Dude I agree with you I was just giving him the benefit of the doubt. Sheeeeeez…

I love the Fountainhead's version of the world, where either you build structures using their milieu to produce individual works of great art, or you have to be a classicist. Since there's only like a dozen architecture firms in the world, maybe one school with a couple different buildings, and 20 cities tops, yeah,…

My point being that they should be because it's super racist, although less so for the French/German thing, being that they literally border each other and in some ways describe an areal gradient, even though SoAm Spanish and Braz Portuguese are technically closer. I guess you've never taken an Asian-American studies…

Gus Fring was in the Usual Suspects! Full circle!

I liked how the sister was voiced by a Korean and the mom was Chinese. Yoshi is Japanese bitches!

That's because the Walking Dead doesn't even really use scripts - look, I have one here:

Sadly a lot of the people who actually make these shows/movies don't know this - so instead of seeing them canning and having like a crisis with like zombies threatening their supply of sheep's wool, they think they're making a horror movie. So there's little investment or real character development.

There were a lot of groaners, but my second-favorite was the transformers megatron handgun stuff. Like, what Max Brooks? Are we supposed to be impressed that your dad bought you all the transformers when you were a kid? Because I'm not. Way to write female characters, dude.

And one of the worst things was the terrible dialogue. So at least it's staying faithful to that. I like how they kept the colin powell character though!

Well, sorta. It also taps into our existentialist angst - who among us has truly tapped into their full potential, who has not sacrificed a value along the way, who has not compromised on their vision - the end times are a chance for redemption, stripped of the trappings of society and our anxiety about mere markers…
