[mock outrage]”Nonsense” lyrics?!!!!! Blasphemy! 10001110101 has incredibly poignant lyrics.[/mock outrage]

I think their lyrics are a nice mix of nonsense, humorous narrative, storytelling, and some deeper meaning to some of their songs. The Regulator tells an interesting story. The Mob Goes Wild actually has an…

Riiiiiight. You are clearly an expert and selective filtering because for all the stories about police doing horrible things (and there are, I do not deny that) and evidence we have work to do to correct that (again, I totally agree with that), there are also numerous stories of police doing the right thing. Seconds…

Find me a good cop and we’ll talk.

Not really on the “Warrior race” and “rite of passage” things.

I thought the proving aspect was from the comics (and their connection to the Xenomorphs) and how the Predator only went for the armed men (not the female who, if I recall correctly, Schwarzenegger told not to pick up a weapon because then she’d become a worthwhile target). Point being, I thought it was at least…

Clutch has been churning out consistently great music for decades now. I may not have loved every single thing they have put out, but I think they are an excellent band. So count me in the “Looking Forward to the New Album” camp as well.

I finally got to see Clutch when they co-headlined a show with Primus last year (crossing off two bands from my bucketlist) and agree with you, AND think they have kept putting out some great music. They also really bring it in their live show! Pure rock & roll energy.

At this point, I’m excited there’s a new Clutch…

Yeah, I find it interesting and unfortunate how many of us have let that whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing fly out the window. Now, all somebody has to do to prove their guilt (at least in the Court of Public Opinion) is come across as smug and the next thing you know we have people positive of some past…

That the Predator gets “upgraded” ignores that the whole point of the previous films (or at least the first two) is that it didn’t NEED upgrades

Well, shooting her in her foot and not her abdomen would be a good start.

That’s because Cops on a rampage is so damn common. It’s almost the default setting these days. So yeah, they get no benefit of the doubt anymore.

So the moral is we’re really doubling down on the asshole part here? Just checking.

That is why I said that I wished more officers were less liable to shoot unless they were certain a loaded gun was being pointed towards them.

I really should go back and finish it.

And well Dream didnt do his job for like 50 years when he was captured so, yea..

It’d be way more interesting to have the story told from the woman’s perspective who has to deal with the guy refusing to see her as she really is, but we rarely if ever get that.

First off, great reply.

Secondly...

I’m far more interested in Clementine’s actual perspective. It doesn’t help that she becomes a decidedly less complex character when she’s replaced by the version in Joel’s head, who seems to say pretty much everything he wants her to in real life.

The whole second half of that movie is a cop-out.

I don’t think anybody’s excusing him committing a hate crime or anything else he’s done so much as saying there are examples showing that he can act. There are counter-examples of him being not so hot as an actor and as a human being. To be honest, I didn’t hear about those things until this thread prompted me to. I…
