The worst thing I’ve ever smelled in my entire life was an uncircumcised, unwashed penis. JFC men do not get enough shit for how much their junk can stink.

Jennifer Lopez says her love affair with sentient back tattoo Ben Affleck is “sacred.”

There might not ever be an ex-husband that still openly pines for his ex-wife like Lamar Odom does for Khloe Kardashian.

I admit that I starred your comment, but I also wanted to point out how deeply saddening it should be to everyone that the woman is so insecure, was ridiculed constantly about her natural beauty, and now she literally looks like a completely different person. She deleted a beautiful bikini photo last summer because…

That picture was from 7 face transplants ago.

Me to Tom Brady: Bye Bitch.

Who’s that woman with Lamar in the picture? That’s not 2022 Khloe Kardashian.

Yeah even in 1999, credit records and banks were not centralized in a few buildings like that.  It was clearly the plan of a crazy person who did not really have a grasp about how it all worked. 

Yeah. The DoD has to read your script and make sure it’s not just a naked screed against them before allowing you to use government vehicles, logos, etc. But they’re not demanding edits of finished films and it’s easy enough to get around their approval by simply not using their property. It’s no different than having…

China is what’s it’s always been, a totalitarian state where authority must be obeyed. It doesn’t matter if the window dressing is communist, fascist, capitalism or oligarchy.  The state must be obeyed at the cost of all individual freedom.

There are over 30 billionaires in mainland China. The wealthiest citizen of the PRC is the 8th richest person in the world.

That being said, the one thing they did seem to misunderstand is... well, they say that Tyler gets committed to an institution and then released years later. Tyler who... is not real. Though that could just be a bit that’s been lost in translation and they’ve just conflated Tyler/Jack/Ed.

Exactly. The Party doesn’t want anybody getting ideas about blowing up buildings, so there have to be dire consequences for the perpetrators.

As others stated, this somewhat echoes the novel (though I’d posit that’s more by accident than intent) but I wouldn’t characterise this as a “misunderstanding” of the film... it’s clear that the authorities DO understand, to an extent, what is going on, and don’t want people to see it or associate it. That’s the…

Heh. To state what should be obvious to the world by now, the CPC either hasn’t been ideologically Communist in decades, or it’s self-deluded in thinking its current “socialist market economy” represents a significant break from capitalism.

“Poochie died on the way back to his home planet.” 

The *Communist party* alters a film to defend *credit card companies*.

Not that this makes it any better of an idea, but...that’s pretty much how the novel ended. More because of a foreshadowed failure in the protagonist’s bomb-making (“Paraffin has never, ever worked for me”) than the brilliance of the authorities, but nothing blows up and the narrator ends up in an asylum.
