Sure; they did a study in France and found that Socialists were more likely to have Type O blood. Not because blood determines politics, but people mate with and choose to live among people they agree with. Over time it starts to affect the genetic distribution of the species.

Way too many B&J flavors seems to be filled with junk. Cookies, cookie dough, cake, crackers, pretzels, whatever. I like that sometimes, but usually when I want Ice Cream, I want that to be the most of it. So I wind up getting other brands of chocolate, strawberry or other simple flavors.

My extremely unpleasant uncle was also an extra in one scene.

Eh, I don't know that anti-conformity is empty. But it has to be a step in a process, not the entire process. This movie was basically the natural evolution of Brando's "What do ya got?" Rebelling to rebel is hollow, but that doesn't condemn rebellion. It condemns mindless action in lieu of difficult, complex,…

No, I never found it at all happy. He had his adrenaline rush from seizing agency, but they had no business being together and once the rush wore off, all there was was the smell from the smoke of the bridges they'd just burned behind them on the road to…

Well, there's Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars and that Tom Hardy movie that was just him in a car. Maybe it's a genre just starting to emerge?

Yeah, it's not worth bothering with unless you just want to see how far away the results are from what you want. If tabbing to google to find stuff on a site works not just better but works as opposed to doesn't, the internal search needs to get fixed or removed.

I bought some of that and we all agreed it was a disappointment. We expected beer-candy and just got brown ale. It wasn't bad, but that wasn't the point.

I like the idea of Achewood and various strips I've seen linked have been good. But holy shit-snacks is the art off-puttingly terrible.

Well, I think that's just assumed.

I keep thinking of an old (and hopefully, pre-"creator as insane sexist") Dilbert:

I was sure he had a huge record-breaking contract with Sony that he more or less immediately regretted and that was the whole "symbol" thing?

Wait, they'll still "be on hand to keep people safe" which means they'll be doing their jobs anyway and thus there's no part of this that isn't total bullshit? Or am I missing something? Are they just refusing to purchase tickets?

Didn't Prince just shovel out a bunch of filler albums to get out of his? I hope Kesha got many millions, because on the face of it, this contract is the kind of bullshit most of us apparently naively thought died out decades ago.

Six albums seems pretty insane.

"People want certain things and we can make money giving it to them. Maybe we should make more of those?"
"I dunno. That's pretty far out there. What about all this stuff we already have that no one wants?"
"That is a conundrum, isn't it?"

Huh. Well, the good news is that having that be my only real anecdote, maybe it was either a one-off-thing or just a random pushing of my buttons combined with conformation bias. Or two things.

I like TV stern psychologists since they're always 100% full-of-shit idiots who would have had to cheat to pass high school. But they're such effective dramatical widgets!

I've seen it (when it was re-released last decade) and I thought it was interesting and cool, but it didn't blow my mind or particularly move me. It felt like an ambitious and well-pulled-off stunt.

Eh, La Jetee was eventually re-released and I saw it and it was fine. But it was as if every review of 12 Monkeys had some form of "it's so much like this other movie cool people like me have seen but you can't" that it got really aggravating. It had nothing to do with whether the critics liked or disliked Gilliam's…
