@disqus_nnNPfBGoco:disqus Privately-run state prisons are insane, horrible ideas, and I don't think anyone has more than a tiny understanding of just how bad they are, because each has their own unique ways of being terrible.

I think this is quite well known, even amongst the people who implement "tough on crime" legislation. Courts are overrun due to very low budgets, so they give them an out that allows most cases to never reach trial, greatly increasing the number of cases courts can handle. The mandatory minimums are excessive…

Was it produced by the same companies that do the aliens visiting Earth shows? "When we come back, find the amazing links between Star Wars Tie Fighters and pictograms in the ancient ruins of Brazil!"

My sources for my misremembered information are two Something Awful Forums threads, which you need an account/archives to see:

It's like one part of something can be bad, while the other part of something can be good! Whooaaaaaaaaaa

If you break your leg so that you can't walk, do you walk on it anyway or do you seek medical assistance and do what the guy who studied to be a doctor for ten years and is constantly updating his knowledge tells you to do?

Hm, let's see… here's a few I can think of right now (a little up the chain from pharmacists, who are pretty low-level dealers).

I feel that this trailer really undersells Jobs' talents and deeds. It doesn't even discuss him dying on a cross and then coming back to life three days later, saving the souls of anyone who believes in him. Pretty big omission, I think.

i don't care what any of you do on here so long as it's funny or interesting

No Boo? No b…oating to the semi-submerged theatres where this plays, and you watch while a roaring river of water splashes up over the seats and out the exits.

"I advanced the blue-veined brie to the craw-fished man, who immediately cut it to little chunks in his claw hands, and threw them high in the air while ululating and dancing the dark and ancient jigs of the old gods." - Shakespeare

Look, they had to get to the frozen foods department for Jenny Agutter to strip, right? Not only was that vital for the plot, it was in her contract, gods bless her.

Hell, they gave him a fucking medal in the first movie for destroying a debilitated ship, murdering dozens; an act that gets you a lifetime of prison right now. The time split went real hard real fast on Starfleet's ethics.

It wasn't really accidental. You can see throughout the film how his horrible behaviour needles at him in spite of his feeble rationalizations for it. By the end he'd intentionally murdered a kind man he'd been abusing for two days just for money. Acting reckless was to help him avoid dwelling on what he'd done on…

I can actually corroborate Mr. Six's claims, as I know that a millipede cut in half will continue to function as two independent wholes. You need to clear out the mushrooms first so your line of fire isn't interrupted.

It's good to see he's getting some work that isn't totally embarrassing. What happened, Ben? One decade you're Gandhi, the next you're the villain any time someone wants an evil vizier type.

Sigh… okay, I'll listen to it again I GUESS

After They Live I keep looking for those delicious-looking brand of tomato soup named just "SLEEP", but I have yet to find any.

It's incorrect to call either the 2002 film a remake or the 1979 film to be an adaptation. The two movies and the book are three different interpretations of the same loose concepts and plot threads. They don't really inform one another, overlap, or override any other. It's like three composers made a rondo based on…
