Yeah the draw of the 3D gimmick was probably pretty strong. At the time I had never seen a 3d movie and that was pretty much the only reason I went. Now that 3d is standard, and to some extent even getting shunned by some, they no longer have that aspect going for them. 

I think maybe the point Lee is making is that he wasn’t using any artistic license in his portrayal of Radio Raheem’s murder by the police. We expect movies to be exaggerations of reality but in this case Lee’s movie is not only realistic, it may even be understated. 

Well to be fair your average antifa guy isn’t exactly a winner in real life. 

Why do people think cognitive dissonance is some sort of defining trait of the right only? The notion that all these people looting and smashing are white supremacist inflitrators is also crazy on the scale of Jones saying Sandy Hook was a false flag operation, and yet every twitter thread out there on the topic has…

The musical wasn’t about the slave trade or genocide of native americans so how are those details whitewashed? You people need to understand that societies that create rigid dogmas around how history and stories can be told are not well regarded in the history books.

This is why I don’t understand why celebrities apologize for things like this. All it does is show their throat and invite further attacks. Hamilton was a prize pig around here and suddenly the comments are full of haters calling it things like whitewashed. You people are jackals. 

Fuck that game. I made it to the grim reaper which was just insanely and nonsensically hard and had to stop for my own health. And this is coming from someone who beat Battletoads and Punch-out.

I never played this version. That is, uh, a weird touch. 

This might be the clunkiest meme I’ve ever stumbled through. 

He who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past.

I guess the rationale would be that Door Dash is allowed to buy a pizza and once they have it they can resell it if they want to. I won’t speculate on whether there are any legal arguments for why they can’t do that. 

But how doesn’t this come back to bite them in the ass? Door Dash just doesn’t care that it’s being charged more than what the customer is paying?

I consider myself a reasonably smart person but I still can’t figure out how this is supposed to work. I need a diagram or something. As far as I can tell, the company orders the pizza for $16, but charges doordash $24 for the actual cost, then doordash eventually send them their cut of the transaction? But doordash…

She probably assumes the labels of “top” and “bottom” indicate an inherent power dynamic.

AVClub newswire writers aren’t really journalists - they’re more like livejournal bloggers who were lucky enough to be asked to make filler. 

Same, King was the first “adult” author that I churned through as a young teenager, and I probably read The Stand before I had even tried tackling just a 500 page novel. Though I’ve reread some of his stuff recently and come to the conclusion he’s actually a terrible writer with great ideas, I just didn’t know what…

I started reading it at the outset too. I agree with the comment below - The Stand does the best job I’ve ever seen of charting the rapid breakdown into chaos caused by a disaster of some kind. The problem is that after everyone gets to Boulder, King spends at least 350 pages, literally the length of an entire novel…

Can you present even a single piece of evidence to support this comical claim?

As a progressive who occasionally tunes in I feel confident saying you’ve never listened to a Joe Rogan podcast.

Did this idea ever really have enough going for it to be a TV series? The movie was meant to be an allegory about class, which is something one could contain in a two hour movie. So the TV show either has to tell the same allegory over and over again to the point of tedium, or it has to engage in random story lines…
