It continues to vaguely irritate me that the first topic of conversation about this movie on blogs like this is about the group of people who like it the least, instead of the numerous people who actually do like the movie and the character....almost like it’s just a hornet’s nest that people are beating for the hell…

Where’s my PWR BTTM tho

As my name may indicate, I’m much more into the Gundam and Macross aspects of mecha anime, but obviously have seen all of the available Eva material at some point. I really...I understand that he was upset that people didn’t want to accept the TV show ending for what it was, but aside from a few…

Man, I haven’t seen that term since the Spoony Experiment days.

I saw the sequel, with Sam Rockwell. It gets oddly dark, they made Kevin Spacey a robot you have to trust but which is designed to kill you.

Once again I think the editorially-mandated flippant tone just makes him come off as a condescending a-hole in like, everything. I’m not sure if this is how he actually feels, or if this is just the way he’s supposed to report things.

I don’t know if it’s been said before, but even if the theory was simplified down as grossly and haphazardly as it is here, the impetus was never on Gwen Stefani. If you subscribe at all to what Moore’s selling here, the idea is that Trump’s issue was the perception that she was worth more than him. It would still be…

Huh, didn’t know that was Jason Lee until I read this, but yeah, can totally hear it now. Hell of a thing.

It gave the actual assassination a really bizarre, surreal quality, like if Obama was assassinated by Tom Cruise.

I’d say that taste in 20th Century history and Gundam fandom go hand in hand! I have a Sinanju model kit sitting on my desk at work.

There’s a lot more context here than I thought there might be considering the fact that a lot of the non-Russian aspects of the Russo-German war tend to get overlooked by historians, but I am starting to understand the frankly baffling conflation made between Jews and Communists given the aforementioned Elders of Zion…

They’re kind of an All-Stars version of the Axis powers. Ghiren specifically is very much inspired by the personage of Adolf Hitler, from his use of the Zeon Flag as being very....Reichsbanner-esque, to the references to “the chosen race” of spacenoids. Meanwhile, the overall sentiment of Zeon and its reasons for…

Depending on the writer and the authorial intent of the work, especially if set in UC, I’d actually say that Zeon more accurately reflects the Empire of Japan once surface similarities to Nazi Germany are done away with. The One Year War ends in series of island hopping maneuvers with the Federation taking one…

You know, Jim Butcher has been at this for years. Hell, the entire plot of the Dresden Files novel Small Favor heavily features a “Skinwalker” or a “Naagloshi,” a wickedly evil shape-shifting demon beast that...yes...is a thing from Native American culture or American Indian or First Peoples or whatever is is you feel…

I mean sure, just ignore the entirely twisted Oedipal thing going on between Mega bat-gimp and Talia. Honestly this movie just irritates me as much as the rest of the stuff that takes place in the new little universe they’ve got going on. All of these stories are so heavily truncated that they lack emotional depth…
