Or, they could have written it better without playing into the USA superlative-fetish that actually undermines heroism by turning it into a cliche. I hate how words mean things. Check it out: “NYC firefighters are world-class heroes!” And suddenly it’s not about being better than those mere mortals elsewhere.

Can beats drone?

Cue obligatory “Radiohead is shit/overrated/basically Coldplay” posts.

I’m sorry you are offended when tacky American mythology-stroking is pointed out. Nothing about my comment takes away from the genuine bravery of NYC firefighters or this particular tragedy. Making the bravery of first-responders into a tribal competition, however, is pretty tasteless, IMO.

What’s the tragic romance equivalent of Rom-Com?

Crimson Peak is deeply underrated. It drags the Henry Jamesian ghost story through muck and weirdness.

If I want dank, I go to my sleeping barrel!

Liberal Sex Dog had to grow that hand, just to make the point. Paws don’t cut it.

That toe looks infected.

I liked the one where Chappy hangs out with Die Antwoord.

OI! GENERAL! REAGON LIE!

He always seemed like a solid guy. His separation from Rhea Perlman made me sad.
