I really don’t get the love for Ex Machina. It was an okay movie, I guess, and full of fine performances, but it’s not even in my top ten for the year. It just seemed slow, predictable, with nothing new to say. It asked questions, sure, but it was nothing jaw-dropping. Maybe it was just the effects (which were superb,…

sounds good

You know what Chuy says about it? "Thanks for making me RICH!"

Imma let you finish but this was the best sketch of all time...

Here's what people don't get: none of these words are banned. Just because something is unacceptable (like "nigger") doesn't mean people stop using it. Language is language. Deeming something unacceptable, or acceptable, or trying to reclaim or ban a word does not change its usage. It doesn't matter how many times Al…

Nigger and faggot are more unacceptable because there's significantly more history of hate crimes and the like against the two in the US.

"Either a word is offensive or it is not."

Yeah, um, no. Words don't have universal meanings or universally-implied cultural significance. They mean different things based on who says what and in within what context.

Trying to universally tag a word as taboo or offensive is as equally narrow-minded as thinking that a…

You do realize that Asian-Americans can call themselves whatever they want, right? As non-Asian-Americans, it's none of our business what they call each other.

That's the joke. The entire "controversy" has completely bypassed the issue Colbert and his writers were ridiculing in the first place: How in 2014, a team can still be called the Redskins. It's satirizing how we're so numb to the fact that Redskins is a long-defined racial slur but gooks and other words instantly set…

How about "Redskins?"

With a movie that sounds this silly and bombastic, it sounds easy to ignore.

Genuinely racking my brain now. Can anyone think of any sci-fi or fantasy that doesn't glorify the individual. I mean its pretty rooted in mythology as far back as Gilgamesh.

Maybe Silent Running? Stalker?

And not to knock the idea of captialist propoganda but doesn't the focus of fantasy on special individuals as…

If that was your point, you really should have made it. I would have agreed with you, even tossed in a few caveats.

I'm guessing you have poor self control

Oh, did someone say YOU had to eat the whole goddamn thing by yourself? Get out of your mom's basement and get some friends, dick.

I think you can change it to "official" now.

Yes, obesity is a problem, but you are demonstrating a bigger problem. It's the belief that "It's not my lack of self control that causes me to be overweight, it's the people who sell the larger portions." No one wants to take responsibility for their own choices.

Uh, no.
