"I had purchased liquid ass before this" sounds like it could be the opening to one of the great novels of our time.

You're not too good at this.

While I basically agree, it's not like Siskel and Ebert had much choice, either.

I cherish your frankness, but must regret to inform you that my userpic is, in fact, someone else's ugly face.

Dear YouTubers,

Well, stereotyping a whole country's people as clueless when it comes to racism is maybe a little…

But he was cowering in a corner the whole time, mumbling gruffly into a non-functional earpiece! What was the jury thinking?

How about making the series' main villain a dark-skinned man-beast that our fair hero has to slay in order to save his woman from degradation?

Sure. "Suffered" really is the appropriate choice of words here.

Other people, they bonded over catch. Me, I've never felt as close to my dad as the day that song came on while we were on the highway, trapped in hearing range of a radio, and he felt compelled to turn down the volume three times during the first chorus.

And how about some foreign perspective? What do, say, Italian filmmakers have to add to the genre?
