Huh? Did you just accuse me of being a gamergater? Yeah, now you're just trolling.

I don't know. I cringed several time during the trailer. It looks like the real history there would make an interesting movie, but the trailer makes it seem like 90% of all scenes in the movie are basically just this:

Neutrality in journalism is definitely a virtue, though.

The above story is a pretty dry recitation of what happened on stage. Not sure how you can implicate the AV Club for taking any sort of position on this.

Nah, it just wasn't as funny or interesting as the Louie pilot. I don't think it has anything to do with gender. Go look at the "Lady Dynamite" thread, for example. People here loved that show because it was really fucking good right off the bat (and that was about a female protagonist with no male protagonists at…

Yeah, it wasn't actively awful or anything, just dull. I didn't laugh at all and don't particularly care about any of the characters yet.

I think TV is pre and post Simpsons. In fact, I'd say the Simpsons was a much bigger shift than any other TV show ever. The Simpsons is when irony suddenly became infused with all culture.

Its first couple seasons were, but then it got dumb. Probably somewhere around the time that Marcy's original husband left.

To be fair, though, he always comes off as kind of a dick.

It's going to be terrible too. Or maybe more accurately, have some interesting ideas here or there, but ultimately be tedious and self-indulgent. Moore was a good comic book writer at a time when the bar in comic books was set so low that anyone with even the most minor pretensions and talent could come off looking…

1980s hair is just so astoundingly awful. I can't take people seriously as humans if they have hair like that. She looks like some kind of absurd chicken.

Kala might be up there with with my favorite hip-hop albums ever and it hasn't aged a day. Still sounds as ramshackle and raw as the day it was released.

Yeah, it was painfully unfunny to the point that I wondered if it wasn't some kind of weird anti-comedy thing.

"Good One" is pretty good. Very dry, deadpan, observational type stuff with an absurdist streak.

I grew up in MN, so Old Dutch is pretty common here, but I always hated them as a kid. They were way greasier and thicker than most brands and somehow always seemed already soggy, even minutes after you opened them. I always saw them as a cheap off brand, so it surprises me that they are so adored. My parents used…

America has Smarties too. Or they did at one point. I haven't paid attention to candy in a while. I don't think they've ever been that popular, though.

Yeah, you can get them at most grocery stores and larger convenience stores, but they aren't as popular and are slightly more niche. Like, if you went to a small convenience store doritos, BBQ, and sour cream and onion will be a definite. Salt and Vinegar, probably not.

Yeah, and we've been miking various mammals for 1,000s of years. If drinking human milk into adulthood were at all practical, humans would have been doing it for a long time. It's not as if milking cows is some new fangled invention thought up by the dairy lobby.

It's maybe exaggerated, but sows do attack humans. I grew up on a farm and we never had pigs, so I have no personal experience with pigs, but I knew people who did and who were attacked (my dad, for one, was terrified of pigs after he was attacked by one as a kid). Maybe it is all about how they are raised, though,…
