It’s crazy because the right is always screaming about paid protesters and crisis actors but they look like half the cast of a 90's straight-to-video z-grade action movie.

If you got leprechauns in space, these are the people you call.

“Why don’t you go back to acting? I loved your performance as the baby in Eraserhead!”

Yeah, but I think it’s really rare. Usually only corvids raised in captivity can mimic. I’m assuming this guy (or girl) picked it up living in a touristy area.

ETA: Growing up in Appalachia, I heard the old wives tale that you could train a crow to talk by splitting its tongue.

4.) They used the “Hollywood wants a big name” argument with the $110 Million (not including the cost of advertising) Johansson vehicle Ghost in the Shell. It earned a little over $40 million in North America.

You’re welcome.

No idea if you’re serious or just trolling, but I’m going to throw caution to the wind and reply to you.

1.) The first actor I mentioned was Kathy Bates. An Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe winner and Tony nominee who is far from obscure.

I’m sorry, but it’s already been cast as the proprietor of a homely pub in an upcoming soap about working class Northerners. 

I just want to share this concerned crow with everyone.

Yeah, to me the weirdest thing isn’t casting a cis actor. It’s casting a gorgeous, skinny 33 year old actor to play an overweight person who was in their 50's and 60's when most of the events in this film took place.

I wouldn’t be as confused if Kathy Bates or Sandy Martin (lesser known character actor played the trans

Let me stop you right there, Hilary Swank played a trans man not a “butch gay woman” - I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you weren’t intentionally misgendering Brandon Teena.

It’s an easy mistake to make, because Brandon Teena was still very young when he was murdered and hadn’t even started

While recording The Berlin Trilogy, Bowie came in one morning and gifted Eno with a single that he described as “the sound of the future”. That single was “I Feel Love” by Donna Summer.

There definitely were shit disco acts - there’s shitty artists/bands in literally every genre - but today’s popular music owes more

To be fair, they’re also blaming his mother.

What I hate about that is that it’s just lazy.

Give me the golden age of A Clockwork Orgy, Edward Penishands, The gAy Team, NYDP Blew, One Flew Over the Cuckold’s Nest, Schindler’s Lust...

I’m just thankful there was a modern studio that said enough is enough and called their pornographic parody Game of Bones.

But how many musical adaptations are legitimately called “_____: The Musical”? And how much of that is just a big pop culture joke? 

Like, I thought for years that the musical adaptation of Carrie was called Carrie: The Musical but it’s just Carrie.

Nah, the guy is a homophobic butthole.

I also think of a single The Simpsons reference when I hear the name Steve Guttenberg. 

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I am so glad that Sean Young sent him those pictures of dead bodies in the 80's.

Completely off topic: Your username is brilliant.

I think the weirdest is the Toxic Avernger cartoon. I think it was called Toxic Crusaders and the idea behind it was to sell toys. Playmates wanted to recreate its success with TMNT and the obvious followup to a kid friendly cartoon/toy line based on a satirical and subversive comic book was one based on a satirical

It may be because Ridley Scott and Luc Besson were both Moebius fans and used his work as a point of reference in making Blade Runner and The Fifth Element (I think Moebius was actually involved in the TFE’s early production.) Katsuhiro Otomo was also heavily inspired by Moebius and Akira‘s influence on science
