If I believed in heaven and the pearly gates, it's what I imagine would be playing over heaven's PA system.

My favorite part of Drive was when he moved the toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other. That was good acting and one of the most exciting sequences in the film.

After I saw The Tree of Life, I came back from the movies and called my dad. When I told him I saw it, his only question to me was "How were the shrubs?"

Yes, I do not understand why boarding from window seats to middle seats to aisle seats is a concept beyond any airline functioning today.

I remember it well; I used to live in the flight path of the one that would leave from JFK. As a kid on the beach in Rockaway, Queens, we'd all hold our ears when that thing would go screeching across the sky. I kinda miss it, and I do wish we had put more into that technology.

I think when you're talking about manufacturing, that was bound to happen; between globalization and technology, they both drove labor and production costs down so much that there's no way they couldn't get cheaper. Mass production cheapens everything (economically, if not stylistically).

I think around roughly the same time you're talking about, a decision was made that people would rather have cheaper flights than faster or more efficient flights.

I had the pleasure of seeing a test screening of this a few months ago, and it was actually pretty funny. But only if you seen the room. Also fuck this new comment system because I have to use voice to text in order to even fucking type on this page on my phone now

TILT

It'd be moot anyway, since the vast majority of the comments on here now are about the comments section. (Not that it's not deserved, because I just tried typing this out on my phone and goddamn was that hard to do.)

heh heh

Fortunately for the both of us, it is not a legitimate issue. It's a business decision like every other decision made when making a movie for international audiences.

I'll call myself a liberal because I am one, asshole. Nothing about this Ghost in the Shell "controversy" has to do with "better representation," and even if it did IT'S GODDAMNED MEANINGLESS YOU FUCKING FOOL.

Goddamn you fucks. Trump is going to win in 2020 and you fucking morons are rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic while complaining the deck chairs aren't the right color. Eat shit, asshole.

Only Asian-Americans are allowed to have an opinion on this non-issue.

And you up-voters voting up this sarcastic non-contribution, go fuck yourselves too.

Sigh. Fuck off. I'm as liberal as they come (go ahead, challenge my beliefs on anything other than fucking movie casting), but I'm fucking tired of this shit.

Similar to the whole Washington Redskins "controversy." Anybody notice that horseshit completely disappeared once a poll of Native Americans found that 9 out of 10 of them didn't give a shit? Liberals absolutely love getting offended on behalf of people, whether or not the people in question feel offended themselves.

Jesus fucking Christ.

When in doubt, double-down. Identity politics worked out really well last year as we all know, so it'll probably go just as smoothly again in 2018 and 2020. Nothing to worry about. Sorry for fumbling the lockstep.
