I never liked the show but I hear that they are nice and the filming has been unobtrusive so, there's that.

It is too simplistic to be 100% true but just about everybody here feels it, don't they? And there has to be some truth to it because you could just feel the rents and house prices start to skyrocket as the show got more popular.

Yeah, as long as Netflix has TOS, I'm good. I'm still tempted but I'm good.

I have seen a recent trend to act like the original Civil War wasn't a giant crap cake. It sucked. It sucked at the time and it still sucks now.

Sure. And a million other things. Grown ups, ya' know?

The whole idea that nobody cared about gentrification until recently is completely ignorant. People have always complained about rising rents and invading Californians. Heck, when I moved here, 13 years ago, the guy who pumped my gas saw my license plates and, when I gave him my credit card, offered to pay for the…

I'm wondering what data Google is looking at and how because I live in Oregon and the vast majority of us currently loathe Portlandia.

I haven't been seeing this deal around so I figured that I would post it here, iTunes is having a sale of several Criterion titles for $9.99 and Amazon appears to be price-matching. It's not all Criterions and you have to search which ones are on sale, but many of the big, classic titles (I picked up Seven Samurai and …

Best Deal today, by far, is that the first volume of Immortal Iron Fist is free. FREE! On both Comixology or Amazon kindle. Immortal Iron Fist is a great read and, by far, the best Iron Fist story ever.

I've seen a lot of essays about Carrie Fisher on major websites, in the past few days, and I think this is the only one that actually talks about her as a writer

The good thing is that, if you do it wrong and get charged full price, you can return it right away and try again.

No. I agree with what Cirion is saying (even though I think he is possibly too angry about this to articulate it well)

David Peoples didn't write him as a replicant. Harrison Ford didn't play him as a replicant. The whole Decker-Is-A-Replicant thing is all something Scott came up with. Personally, I hate it

You are right on that. I had always had read them with the origin story first but that occurred after several stories of him as Asian

I bet you saw this on Reddit or 4Chan and you were like "that's so cool. The next time people disagree with me and shoot down my dumb arguments, I'm gonna troll them like that!"

I said it before, the really sad this is that you think you're being smart which is why I wonder if you're actually like just come 12 year old kid who, having failed to have a big boy conversation, is throwing a tantrum. You're probably an actual adult so…yikes!

Honestly, your trolling is just sad at this point. Even more so if you're an adult. Are you an adult?

Sad troll doing sad troll things. Poor, widdle troll

Ugh, god. The sad thing is you think you're being clever. Lord, dumb people are sure dumb.

It's a definitely a trope and certainly overused in American cinema compared to other Asian characters, but it isn't inherently racist. Maybe some people might get "bent out of shape" (it IS the Internet, after all) but it isn't less racist than refusing to cast Asian actors for a prominent role
