well put.

we could definitely do without both. the self-righteousness of sports-writers makes them more obnoxious (to me at least) than entertainment reporters. at least people who report on the entertainment industry seem to know their work is frivolous.

I think it’s original in that it injected a good amount of realism in to the fantasy medium (banks, politics, etc), but it is definitely working within a classical fantasy framework.

I don’t remember there being any evidence that Ned knew about the prophesy or had an idea that Jon could be some sort of savior figure. As others have said, he was mainly worried about protecting Jon from Robert Baratheon. So I don’t see how him telling Jon about his parentage would really change that much about what…

“If Ned had future plans for Jon...”

Besides Deadpool, I have no interesting in any X-Men films going forward, until they just do a complete reboot. Why not just start from scratch and give everyone a fun, colorful version of the classic X-Men team (that doesn’t become a Wolverine show). Now seems like the perfect time, with Jackman leaving and Lawrence,…

yeah they’re the worst. it’s essentially harmless (i don’t see them as being that different from entertainment writers), but they have a certain self-righteousness that is pretty ridiculous. they actually think what they do matters.

“If you haven’t yet, I defy you to watch the above scene and tell me these two people don’t want to take this spat straight to the soft, fertile grounds of the Bone Zone. I’ll wait.”

Not exactly. It’s a public university. Different rules apply.

Imagine Trump without the personality.

i think you’re talking about two different things. you can easily say “I think men want X”, but still not change yourself to be that. and it’s not inherently sexist for men to prefer women a certain way. i’m not sure what idea your post is trying to convey.

Thank you. If I had to decide between paying $60 for this thing versus spending an afternoon figuring out how to put it together, I’m throwing down $60 every time. For most people, it’s simply not worth the time and aggravation.

Couldn’t, I don’t know, Nintendo have actually manufactured enough product to meet demand. Especially after it became apparent that that it was a hot item for Christmas. I mean, it doesn’t seem like these should be that hard to make, and Nintendo promised a steady stream of stock in time for the Holiday Season.

It didn’t bring up circumcision, but I think the relevance is pretty clear. We treat one thing as a horrible crime against humanity, but this other (quite similar) thing happens literally all the time and no one cares.

but in all seriousness, if bombing an organization like ISIS (an organization that sells women into sexual slavery and wants to kill anyone who doesn’t agree with their interpretation of Islam) turns people into terrorists, really how moderate were those people to begin with?

except for all sorts of drones. they were definitely allowed to play with those. but shhh...lets not talk about that.

The thing about the Watchmen movie is that the story/script isn’t bad. In fact, it’s a pretty good adaptation, which actually improves on some aspects of the comic (subbing Manhattan for the space Octopus makes sense, especially in a live action film). That said, there are just so many dumb directing decisions. Zach…

Why are you so sure of yourself on these points? North Korea is actively developing nuclear weapons and means to hit long range targets. They are literally developing the things they would need to make a nuclear strike on the US. Even if they only target a medium sized city, it would make 9/11 look like nothing.…

“The citizens of Hiroshima or Nagasaki might find themselves vaporized again if there’s an attack on NK.”

The most forgiving interpretation of the actions of the Trump Administration is that it’s better to deal with this now, while North Korea’s nuclear capabilities are still pretty limited, than to wait and try to deal with them after they have a legitimate program capable of reaching South Korea, Japan or even the US…
