You realize that's not an answer to the question presented, right?

I used to use one of the wheel things on a regular basis when I lived further from the grocery store. Highly recommend.

God fuck that movie in a dimly lit tunnel under Paris.

The only thing I enjoyed about Only God Forgives was that later, when I read a review that noted that the scenes where Gosling inexplicably sat in a dingy club and dispassionately watched a prostitute masturbate were an unintentional metaphor for the movie itself, I got the reference. And I loved Drive.

I came here to make the gearhead point, so +1. The only clarification I wanted to make was that the Mustang was a 2011 GT, which makes 412 hp, stock (390 ft/lbs torque). I'm pretty sure the SRT8 was also putting out something more like 470 hp. It's actually a remarkably good match-up, I think, and as is commonly…

1,001 Ways to Prepare Capon with Rachel Ray

I mean, we can probably go around in a circle on this, but I really think that the movie doesn't want you to think this guy is a Doc Holliday-style gunfighter. Think about all the times we see Munny shoot. There's the practice in the beginning with a can, where he eventually gets pissed off about missing so much…

I don't know about that. I think the movie is hostile to the idea of ubermenschen. No one is really a particularly skilled anything in the movie, except maybe Ned, who is reputed to be a fine shot with a rifle, although we never see it. English Bob is the best demonstrated shot, killing a bunch of pheasants on the…

Don't get me wrong, I love Dark Souls. I'm late to the party, but I've been exploring and enjoying it over the last few weeks like no game since Symphony of the Night.

I think that's largely right, but I disagree on Little Bill. The difference between Little Bill Dagget and William Munny was that Dagget had convinced himself that he was justified in doing whatever it was he saw fit. His justice, administered through violence or the withholding of violence, was "right," and that's…

Based on the direction this has taken, I think we're talking about AIDS now?

Dark Souls. No explanation required.

You probably have Snickers every day too, that doesn't make nougat a food group.

They also fix the soil somehow when grown with other crops, like tobacco, according to something I think I read and or heard fifteen years ago. I don't really care enough to google it, but I think this answers the question.

Right, that's kind of what I expected. It's hard to find a lot of this stuff, because the people who are most invested in it are idiotic racists.

I hadn't considered that—do you have a source for ancient Persian complexion? I mean, this sounds right to me as a critique of both the comic and the movie, I'm just curious.

Modern Greeks are, but modern Greeks probably don't look very much like ancient Greeks did, in the same way that modern southern Italians don't look very much like ancient southern Italians (many of whom would have been Greek) did. When they cast relatively fair actors as Athenians and Spartans, it's one of those…

I upvoted that, but it hurt.

Also, characterizing the Athenians as peculiarly dependent on slave labor when the main thing constraining Spartan military adventurism was their need to ride herd (almost literally) on the helots in Lacedaemonia does not inspire confidence in the author's appreciation for ancient civilization.

The military is more overweight than the population at large. Try again.
