I’m reposting my reply to the CCP supporter here, just in case.

I keep getting reminded that Chinese Communist Party defenders use the same what-about playbook as Faux News misinformation addicts.

Its going to be a rip off of the Irishman and New York New York, just to mix it up.

Says the guy who whines about “cancel culture” because people can’t abuse their co-workers...

Oh sure, but when my band’s triple LP “Space aliens sodomized me” came out I was told it had no artistic merit. 

Oh, I get that there’s field hockey, and I phrased that poorly, admittedly. But hockey is one of the ‘four major sports’ in North America, and yet it’s still often coloquially referred to as ‘ice hockey’, when there’s no other type being played 95% of the time. It’s really not a complaint, you’d just think that would…

Field hockey! Played on grass or field turf. Actually an Olympic sport for both men and women. Each tournament will have 12 countries in Tokyo but the US didn’t qualify.

Take a shot in the dark what country I’m from based on this comment, but I’ve always wondered: Why is it called “ice hockey” and not just “hockey”? It’s not like there are qualifiers at the professional level of what kind of surface hockey is played on. 

So does that mean that the closing Olympic ceremonies will be a black and white incoherent stream of consciousness? Or will we get the ending where the team captain masterbates onto an unconscious ref?

I’m not really interested in seeing an emotionally-fragile teenager work out his daddy issues through violent outbursts... but enough about the NHL, what’s this Evangelion thing?

I’d rather have another Portal game...

On an optimisim kick, JJ posts when he finishes it:

I liked a lot of things about Ash vs. Evil Dead (especially Pablo and Kelly; as much as I have undying love for Bruce Campbell, he was the least interesting part of the show), but...

Let Ash and his mighty chin rest.

And yes, it was a great TV show that got inexplicably overlooked.

Or have her villainy be a misunderstanding? She didn’t intend to skin dalmations for a fur coat, but...wants to trace their patterning for a unique look, maybe...?

I mean in my eye, expectations for turning a woman who wants to murder puppies for fashion into an anti-hero for a prequel were quite low. The only way to make this work would be to play into the inherent stupidity of the premise. Just treat her like a villain in Batman 66 and you could pull this off.

Taking one look at the cast made me remember why adapting to animation to live-action rarely works out, because the big sticking point to me was the hair color.

All three of the Powerpuff Girls have different hair, but that’s fine because it’s a cartoon and they have the same basic design template (big eyes, big heads,…

We could only hope real-life Conservatives and Libertarians were half as obnoxious as Ron Swanson’s politics.

I suppose you also consider snuff films to be romantic comedies?

Wow, it’s really really hard not to laugh at this. Soylent Green, you evil sonofabitch. Are you even people?
