My thoughts exactly. I have no problem with someone changing his or her mind about veganism/vegetarianism, but this dumb, quasi-mystical “spill your blood for humanity to know the Father” rationalization is pure fuckery. They should have just been honest, e.g.: “I really miss eating cheeseburgers.”

Nah, some of us just hate plants so much, we see consuming meat products as getting in the way of absolutely destroying lettuce. How are avocados ever going to learn their place if I’m wasting time, energy, and belly space filling up on, I dunno...meatloaf?

There is, and always has been a sect of fringe misanthropes in the animal activist community.

I mean it just seems sort of weird to actively profit off of people who care about these things, and then go eat a bunch of steaks in your backyard.

As a vegetarian, it does rub me wrong, though I can’t imagine caring enough to do anything more than not visit a restaurant.

every word on urban dictionary is slang for blow jobs.

The problem with trying to decide which dog is the best dog is that all dogs are the best dog.

And honestly, what I don’t get is — it really *isn’t* an identical story? Abrams plays with a lot of the same framework and plot beats and whatnot, but in terms of its core themes and its emotional moments, they are entirely new. Fin, the kid who’s known nothing but war and yet can’t bear the reality of it, possessed…

The movie should have been entirely about his plot line.

I really enjoyed Hail, Caesar! and he stood out to me. I think he might be able to pull it off. Interesting.

He was the best part of Hail, Caesar! I’m happy with this.

That is a very valid point.

I see what you’re saying but it’s not like he accidentally went 170 mph. He did it intentionally with zero regard to those around him.

If he blows a tire, hits a deer, hydroplanes on a puddle, runs into an unexpected brick or hammer, or pretty much anything untoward happens...he can slide, still doing 150, into the back of a minivan full of kids, or across the center divider and have a 220mph head on.

I believe it was on here somewhere, but I read that Kylo was a good person trying to be bad and Anakin was an bad person trying to be good. It was an interesting thought about the two characters.

WE DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH THEOCRATS

I kind of love that though. Kylo Ren is unlike any Star Wars villain we’ve had in the past, this weirdly impotent, angry young man who is enraged that his legacy, his destiny (the most powerful concept in Star Wars, after all, is prophecy and fate), has been denied to him.

Finding a beautiful lakeside home next to a cave of wolves and a circle of necromancers pretty much sums up homeownership in general. Can’t pick your neighbors.

Now, see, to me this plays as him trying too hard. He’s overcompensating in a really morbid way, using this to say, “Look at me! See how evil I am! Dudes, so fuckin’ evil over here!!! Guys? Anyone?”
