I think this is problematic for a number of reasons, but I don't feel like listing all of them. But one of them is that Hitler was far beyond "racist." Another is that you're assuming that someone being tortured for seventy years, with absolutely zero hope of such torture ever stopping for the rest of existence, will…

I don't think you're right. Yes, it's typical for younger generations to be more progressive, but only a third of baby boomers actually graduated from college. That leaves quite a lot of wiggle room for non-college-educated white people to be conservative or racist or whatever. One of the reasons that younger…

I agree that thus far it's disappointing how separate the Netflix & Marvel cinematic stuff is.

I don't think I went insane over it, but I liked it a lot. It had a bit more "meat" to it than past incarnations of The Tick, in that the promise of some darkness and serialization along with the goofy humor seemed to be a smart play given that superheroes are culturally ever-present. I think it certainly wasn't…

Ah man, I'm terribly sorry. I'm unfortunately well acquainted with Dahmer, but not in a personal way.

She was alright/pretty good there, but I thought Matthew Lillard was pretty amazing in that scene. I can't imagine it's easy to both give a lot of exposition (necessary though because the actor for Major Briggs is past) and naturally convey the emotion of his panic, distress, and intense confusion and despair over his…

Serial killers are cultural things, but it runs the risk of being insensitive when talking about a very specific serial killer and his famous victims whose families are still alive.

"I'm just confused by the number of people who have an issue with this specifically. Is it OK to make films about horrific real world events or not?"
Do you really need life to fit in that sort of box? Why should it just be, across-the-board okay for ALL tragic real life events to be depicted, or not?

True, if Pitt went all crazy, bug-eyed psycho, that could be really entertaining.

What was their past target audience? Non-entities? Nothingers?

I feel kind of similarly. But supposedly they're making an Invader Zim movie, which I do have nostalgia for, and will very much watch.

For sure! I'm a social psychologist by trade, so projection is my bread and butter. Understanding it, I mean - not doing it. I hope.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not a regular frequenter of Reddit. I find some of the stuff interesting, I think. I've seen compelling threads where people share really embarrassing or traumatic things they've encountered, and of course, a lot of the replies are worth less than the storage space for the characters…

You know, as sucky as it'd be to have bad luck and misfortune always while in bed, including with the lovemaking, I think I'd prefer that to the possibility of having bad luck and misfortune for all things for forever. Clearly, though, the creators of Rocko didn't know that classic rule of fortune cookies: you must…

Probably many cases, come to think of it. I imagine that many of the guys acting to police other people's behaviors who flip out about this sort of thing are single, and trying to maintain some modicum of control over their sorry lives by howling their ignorant and self-righteous bullshit into the fickle winds of the…

As for me, I got the same sad fortune that Filbert did from Rocko's Modern Life: "Bad luck and misfortune will plague your pathetic soul for all eternity."

You're pretty edgy. Do you like Sylvia Plath?

Sure, but they see a guy getting seriously injured anyway. I take your point, though.

Imagine the weird vibes being in the audience for that concert. One moment you're watching an acrobat. Then you're watching a man plummet to his death. Then you're watching 1996's most popular radio-friendly pop-punk band, presumably "rocking and rolling." What a weird experience that must be.

Are all of you so sure that guy was trying to diss you about it? What if he was being entirely sincere in saying he was charmed by your cultural ignorance, and now you've all beaten him to death with your grizzled world-weariness and fiendish apathy towards all things One Direction?
