This is not a Big Mac.

Reasonable assumption, I thought that might be the case too. Imo their scene could be read both ways. I think a solid case can be made that when Murn is talking about regrets in past episodes, he’s talking as an alien and not about the history of his human host.

Did Charlie speak because that Butterfly was living inside his brain, or did the zoo that housed him procure Charlie from Gorilla City?

Finding Nemo with a touch of Idiocracy.

Has something to do with crow tongues not being as useful as parrot tongues.

Actually I saw a few reviews claiming that the film was attacking Republicans, though imo the movie was bipartisan and nonpartisan in its critique. But my impression was that the film was both popular and well regarded. It’s just more chum for people to argue over.

That has no bearing imo on how Peloton is handling the wave of negative press they have been dealt in recent months, which is what my comment and the thread elaborating it was about. Maybe Peloton should ignore the copycat scene in Billions or at least discuss it with some humor. The way they responded could remind…

Joe Rogan’s a burn out

You linked a video of a wildly irresponsible woman,

The point is if you are sinking in quicksand quit thrashing. Peloton is a premium brand that is both fortunate and unfortunate to be associated with rich assholes and how they treat even exercise as a luxury item. Being a prestige brand has been very good for Peloton overall, but it also means occasionally…

I’m pretty cynical about the hope of any reform, but must admit I think a debt strike is good idea. We’ve already seen that putting thousands of people on the street protesting against racism and for civil rights yields very little if it is just performative. Going after someone’s money, however, seems to get their…

You don’t get to be an old dog if you don’t learn some new tricks.

Shut up, Peleton, before somebody incorporates this little anecdote into a tv show…

That film was dis-Armas-ed, amirite?

I do remember an ad campaign and billboards for Okja, though living in L.A. I see more entertainment advertising than most parts of the country. I think curation is good for existing subscribers like you or me, but streaming services are primarily interested in getting new subscribers, its the main way they measure…

Idk Sweet Tooth, Witcher, Squid Games and Arkane were pretty good. I think HBO Max has a more appealing roster because i like the prestige HBO shows, classic movies and some of the DC movies, cartoons and shows. But I have Netflix to thank for my Bollywood binges, and my dives into Korean and Japanese action and…

I think its interesting that Ennis, Alan Moore and Grant Morrison have written some of the most quintessential Superman stories. They treat his compassion and moral clarity with respect.

I’m not sure welding dead dogs instead of live dogs has a bigger payoff.

I’m not claiming that Gunn and Ennis can only tell stories with crudeness, violence etc., I’m noting that a sensibility with those elements seems to be their preference and that they find a lot of nuance in that tone. So that, given the option, they are going to lean towards utilizing those elements (though not always…

I happily concede that there is a lot of heart and sincerity in Ennis’s work, and the same is true of Gunn. I believe that compassion is also blended with cynicism about human nature and that sincerity with an ample portion of irreverence.
