I won’t defend the Robocop reboot but it did at least echo the grimness of the original. And that scene where he realizes he’s just a head, hand, and pair of lungs? Amazing.

Do you think your reply is somehow disproving what he said? You do sound like an unhinged kid. 

Dude, chill. 

If Lynch did this there would have been one quarter the dialogue and most of it would have been Wanda and Vision silently walking around the home.

Someone in another comment mentioned Patton Oswalt’s name in a totally different context, but now that’s got me thinking. 

This whole thing is rather amusing. I love hacks at the AVClub taking us along on this ride pretending that we’re all collectively concerned and horrified that some B list celeb likes weird kinky sex stuff. I also love the absolute shameless and stone cold slandering this site throws down - someone said she wasn’t…

You make a lot of posts on these boards, and 100% of them are either dredging up accusations against whoever the newswire is about or attacking other comments for not being as pious as you. People are understandably confused about what motivates someone to live their online life this way. You may think its…

Can you just come clean and admit you’re a gimmick account? Please. I have to know what you are, like for real.

I’m a huge Godzilla fan from way back and so I’ve enjoyed them quite a bit. They actually do a good job of catching the weirdness of the Toho films where there’s no limit on the crazy story twists. They also capture the spirit of Godzilla being the good guy even though he’s not really acting benevolently.

I suspect you and I are politically basically on the same side, but terms like “grievance identify politics” were literally created to describe the proponents of critical race theory and avant garde gender theory on the left. 

This is horrendous. I actually can’t believe this (I haven’t caught up yet). It’s like they updated the characters but...for no reason. 

But in those cases has the character’s desire to not be disabled been their single defining trait? In Jordy’s case it came up every once in a while but given his challenges it wasn’t so illogical that sight is what Q would have offered him. Anyway, back to the story at hand, it’s also important to remember that…

Interesting, the header at the top of this screen says this article has 10.7k likes, yet the like button is actually disabled. And that number seems bizarrely high given it says there are only 18 comments, and only 2 article saves. So the inventory appears to have a fake like button to give the appearance of people…

“Nick being offered not just voice and hearing, but the position of flagg’s righthand man was interesting. Though I do think it came too early, we don’t know enough about nick to understand why he’d refuse flagg’s offer.”

Serious question, with an intro preamble. A good example in relation to this issue and my question comes from an episode of Star Trek: TNG where Q tries to entice everyone with some great desire (Warf’s is some super kinky Klingon sex that he had to pretend not to like in front of everyone). Jordy’s, of course, was…

Let’s not lose sight of what this discussion is about. One specific deaf and mute character in a TV show was enticed by the notion of not being deaf and mute. It’s not unreasonable this would be a reaction some deaf and mute people might have (in the context of this supernatural universe, anyway). I sure as hell would…

I disagree with this take - I think the miniseries captured everything very well with 6 hours, and CBS has 9. They just need more coherent structuring. When you follow characters from the beginning its easier to attach to them, versus this weird jumping around. Its hard to see growth retrospectively, when you’re being…

My own theory is the desire to not offend anyone and get twitter blowback motivates most of these decisions. I guess I understand why they didn’t show more of the plague out of respect in this year of COVID but they showed some of it, so fuck it just go for it. 

I have complete sympathy for the deaf and hard of hearing community, but if one of them were to tell me they wouldn’t take a pill that would make them able to hear I wouldn’t be able to stop the word “bullshit” from popping into my head. Maybe that just comes from my own place whereby if I become disabled and there’s…

To understand the logic it helps to look at another example. Currently there is a movement to classify autistic people as “neurodiverse” as opposed to disabled. So the idea is that the lack of social or behavioral functioning autistic people experience is just a result of them being different, as opposed to being…
