Things that have overthrown tyrannical regimes:

Having the NRA run by gun manufacturers is like having the Sierra Club run by REI.

All of 24's problems, torture included, boil down to the fact that it had an unsustainable gimmick. Go back and watch it, and even the early, good seasons have insufferable soap opera filler that goes absolutely nowhere, mostly involving Sherri Palmer. You know why? Because even in a crisis situation, not that much

It prevented untold genocide.

I don't agree but I like your enthusiasm.

Romanticized? Goodfellas was groundbreaking in its uncompromisingly frank depiction of the Mafia as cruel, idiotic thugs with none of the honor or principles depicted in such works as, say, The Godfather, much less the gangster pictures of the 30s. If that's romanticizing, holy shit.

Falling Down is a very clever– and very obvious– deconstruction of white mans' rage. And it's those idiots who work so hard to overlook it (or maybe skip the third act) who make liking it look bad.

This is now why I associate AR-15 with "pathetic dickhead." It's the pimped-out Honda Civic of guns.

Julian Glover got to play the villain in three legendary film franchises and GoT. And all good installments, too! I hope he's very happy.

Even with all the grandstanding about how our trusted allies are somehow taking advantage and humiliating us by collaborating towards a common defense and expounding democratic ideals, one in the know can't help but feel that this all comes back to that idiot Comte de Buffon impugning the masculinity of the North

I think it's good to want to be Superman, even if nobody ever could be. I don't think we as a country realize how unusual that outlook is.

I got a kick out of first seeing it on my roommate's then-new Smart TV (turn the motion smoothing off, kids). It'd be a rare treat to see it on the big screen.

So if an enemy happens to be attacking you on your doorstep, within firing range of the majority of your population, you should let them keep at it so as not to ruffle feathers?

I'm going to ignore the implicit Islamophobia in this response, and assume you're not being sarcastic, so…

I said he was right. He just went about it badly.

You're already a Mexican Blade Runner. Israeli Pork Running can't be that hard.

It's all about attitude. There's a time and a place. Look at how Hillary Clinton is lashing out against the DNC lately. Even if she's right, she is by no means in a position to take charge of that argument. Harry Shearer thinks he's Sandy Koufax, but really he's Curt Flood. Or maybe Walter Sobchak.

Okay, good to know. I'll remember that next time any other country is attacked.
