Tony Leung and Andy Lau were better than Leonardo di Caprio and Matt Damon, the movie didn't have idiotic 'tough' guy banter that sounds like it was written by someone insecure about his manhood, and it didn't have Mark Wahlberg. The only improvement I can credit is the two women in the original becoming one…

Have you? All the major scenes played out the same way. https://youtu.be/KDu9nTmMaXE

I said "practically" a shot for shot remake, and still a remake in any event.

I ate canned haggis once. It tasted like liver.

I largely agree with you except for The Departed. That movie was practically a shot-for-shot remake of the Hong Kong original, and to rub salt in the wound, they put in a racist joke about Chinese.

"Notable" means whatever appeals to the nerdy contributors to Wikipedia. Let me remind you of the whole Wikigroaning thing: http://www.somethingawful.c…

This would be useful for a game of Wikipedia Scavenger Hunt. (For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's a party game for a room of introverts, where the point is to get to a random article on Wikipedia from another random article using only links. The winner is whoever gets to their article with the…

So you enjoy it when white people write stories about other cultures? Sometimes, if the writer is really knowledgeable about the culture, then you can get something like Tim Truman's Scout. Most of the time, though, it feels like they just saw a movie and thought they're totally qualified to write about it. I get a…

Why not a handjob contest? Whoever successfully strokes off their partner first wins! (Really, though, they both win.)

Man, that Lois Lane sure is an incompetent housewife! That's why she could never get someone like Superman. Less time at work and more time in the kitchen, toots.

So you're saying Batman will just get Alfred to cook his entry for him? I can see that happening.

Oh, my bad. Still a case of cultural appropriation though.

That Rapunzel story was pretty bad. Oh great, another white guy's terrible story about the exotic and mysterious East.

Wait, what issue was that with the jazz club? I don't remember that scene at all.

The only fair match is a bake-off. Superman would win because Batman's mom died before teaching him how to make an apple cinnamon turnover. (The secret is to go easy on the sugar.)

Because he's all-powerful. He's basically God-Man from the Tom the Dancing Bug comic strip.

I get that too when I talk about Japanese hip hop. Seriously, you've never even heard of the Teriyaki Boyz? They've even done stuff with Kanye and Pharrell.

Do you still use Friendster? I forgot my password but you can still add me.

What about the scene in the Lion King where Simba jizzes on Poomba's face? Or maybe that was something I saw on the internet.

I worked at Whole Foods. My manager was a dickhead. Also, seeing all the still-okay produce and bread we threw away got me into dumpster diving (not at Whole Foods, they lock up their garbage).
