Fuck yea, Megarace! Legitimately loved the cutscenes.

Worked for Faye Wong and “Dreams”.

I assume thats an issue with any deathbed will, though text messages can be authenticated and are used in almost all type of court proceedings. The other issues again could be a thing in a deathbed will that was scribbled by hand but as far as I know are still upheld in most courts in this country, though obviously…

In a case when it was written when death was immenint? Thats pretty standard common law unless maybe your state enacted a specific law making them invalid.

Not to be one of those people ranting about globalism but I don’t know why the author of this article decided to assume that a French court ruling is applicable to 99% of the people that will read this piece. Here in the United States, courts will still uphold a will written in anticipation that death is imminent but…

They were under a spell I believe 

Good call!

I was just about to ask what the immediately previous slogan was, i remember it being bad. Although, as just words alone, Im Loving It is dumb as hell and even discussion about the merits of the music aside, is anyone arguing that the phrase itself has caught on?

I remember the premiere of the jingle and thinking it was stupid. I dont like it any better now but I wouldent argue its iconic jingle status. But I also think that even though i have no musical talent, I could noodle around with whatever instrument they used for this one and come with something as musically complex…

It just means that the speaker is communicating something solely for the purpose of letting the reader know theyre sympathetic to a cause or belief. I agree that most things are political and social issues and art are always related and I also …

The “point” of the book, so to speak, is how many different philosophies there are floating around, and that we build up these myths and alliegances based on whatever random facts came into our point of view. They’ll describe Hagbard’s politics in one way and then come up with an entirely different POV on his belief…

Bless you sir, so heartened by this thread. Illuminatus has so much value still and i fear its disappearing from popular culture. 

Can I assume that last part refers to things like Universal Healthcare? How much of your opposition to such programs stem from worries about whether its affordable or that it would necessitate raising taxes? What if I told you that we could pay for everyone’s healthcare tomorrow and there would be no reason to raise…

This dumb troll thing you guys are doing now is really the best use of your precious time on this earth?

Yes, exactly! The original three are adventure films and the prequels/new trilogy try to be action films.

Videogames are like sports, for a lot of people its the only thing they put a lot of effort into thinking strongly about. They want to show off that they’ve formed an opinion about something and its hard to convince them that even if what they’re saying is 100% correct, its just not something worth caring about either…

Remember when AVClub used to make fun of badly photoshopped PR material?
