Wow, you're a fucking jerk.
Yeah right. Ell Oh Ell.
Martyrs was the role-playing-gamers version of…whatever this is. It applied a system. The system even tried to get the viewer on board. It said "here's some nasty stuff," but also spent a long time trying to explain why it was okay. After watching so much of this stuff, I have to think the compulsion for rationale,…
Have you ever met any of your heroes? I've met a couple, and it was a profoundly disappointing experience.
Nephew. Meaning you're some shitty uncle. If you had showed this to my kids I'd have knocked you on your ass. 15 years old? What the fuck is wrong with you?
omg, are we doing Audition in 2014? Save you some time. Skip straight to Meatball Machine or even better yet, Visitor Q, and then chuck the whole cultural genre in the toilet and move on with your life. Trust me you'll be better off mentally. It's like New French Extremity—if you you're an information collector, and…
Musically: Nobody. There's only one modern musician whose talents I respect: Weird Al, and his tastes are too inclusive. I like lots of other things like I love people, insofar as they're awesome as themselves and have an important place in my life, but there's no way I'd spend my time chasing down their tastes and…

Why I find it problematic, is it tells people to be led, actually demands people be led, by the latest narrative, and abandon everything that came before just because it can't provide a good defense for itself. Everything that happens in this story should've happened between the prosecution and the defense. It happens…

Absolutely, yes. This article came up first upon my googling the question to see if anyone else noticed.

I call those movies "Teen Attrition movies."
Nearly this exact same thing happened to me as a tyke. I guess it was the first time I had ever seen the word "grenade" in print. Gray-nahd?
On #3, is that supposed to be a kilt, or what? Because it looks like a censor bar over an enormous schlong. Or a dude who stood up while jackin' it and his handkerchief stood up with him.
