Let There Be Kool-Aid

Let There Be Kool-Aid

Disney’s too afraid of the Ewok mob.

“Alternate parallel universes”? Like, alternates to the regular parallel universes?

It’s alcohol that’s not yours.

Anyone else not a big fan of popcorn?

If RT uses a thumbs-up/down system, why is 60% the fresh/rotten line and not 50%?

I saw the movie as a kid and still love it. I finally read the book a few years ago and thought it was OK. What I liked about it was the character of Gump himself, especially seeing how different he was from the movie version. What I didn’t like was the situations he gets put in, which I thought were silly even…

In case you’re unfamiliar with Laserface, he frequently accuses people of being “contrarian”(or “JAQing off”) for, as far as I can tell, expressing opinions contrary to his.

You gotta fight for your right to be careless with guns.

OK, but even if it would’ve been bad I don’t seen how it would’ve been problematic.

The idea that the timing was bad for that show always struck me as ironic with how often speculative fiction’s been used to examine present-day issues.

OK, but there were people who thought the show merely existing would be problematic, as though people couldn’t just not watch it if they found it too dark.

I don’t remember people saying that High Castle milked Jews for trauma porn.

OK, but the idea that the show would’ve been bad wasn’t what I had a problem with, but the idea that the show’s concept was problematic(yes, there were plenty of people who said that).

I remember a lot of outrage directed at the concept, people saying things like it would “normalize” slavery.

It was the fact that you specifically said they weren’t fit to write about black people that made me bring up PKD’s being a Gentile.

Philip K. Dick wrote High Castle even though he wasn’t Jewish.

I didn’t think Confederate was an especially interesting idea, but I never bought the idea that it was somehow problematic.

It actually wouldn’t be the first time Short and Martin have hosted with a third person; they did it with Chevy in 1986 because of Three Amigos.
