Well the author is clearly one of those people that’s never happy no matter what. If La La Land won, he would say “Pretty white people beat black LGBTQs;” because Moonlight won, the message is “Oscars tell dreamers and dreams to go to hell.”

The silver lining to this dark cloud: you just know Trump and his cronies will leave the 2nd Amendment untouched... ;)

“...there are plenty of people for whom that is just their daily stash of coke.”

How do I get to your parallel dimension where HBO shows are real life? ;)

I think it was a trend among movies produced in the 1970s. Films in the 70s are filled with improvisational and “surprised” performances, like the three you cited.

Making sure someone isn’t a hypocrite; that they actually walk their talk, is probably the worst thing anyone could do. Worse than spraying an indigenous person with a water hose in freezing temperature. Move over, Stalin/Hitler Hybrid- there’s a new Worst Person Ever in town. His name: Stig. His crime: He made sure…

I doubt you’ll get an answer from Oops, but allow me to chime in a bit, please.

“...a frustrated, impotent man with little to no understanding of how the government actually works.”

Naltrexone, 50 mgs a day. It’s a miracle.

That’s exactly how I would have done it.

But...Miyazaki...

Wonder what the Chinese in Nanjing would think about that...

Wasn’t actually JAPAN THE BAD GUYS TOWARDS CHINA? Let’s not forget the atrocities they made in China.

I believe a lot of American Japanophilia has to do with the fact that Japan’s atrocities are glossed over in the U.S. Who cares about Nanjing when there’s Pokemon and Studio Ghibli, right?

You can’t start a fight and then call yourself the victim when you lose.

Finally a chance to beat Legend of Zelda. I gave up as a kid when I couldn’t figure out what peninsula the Old Man was talking about. I wonder if those “hints” will be re-translated?
