You were very patient with them, at least. But some people just don’t want to be wrong.

They could have split the difference and had it be the first ever MK tournament, but sentimental Liu Kang made people like Kitana and Johnny Cage show up a thousand years earlier. Wouldn’t it be cool to see what “pompous movie star” would translate to 1000 years prior? Maybe a duke or earl or whatever with an…

What do you think is BS about that statement? Is it the word “is”? Hinduism is monotheistic (or, to be more technical, henotheistic) and holds that all the “gods” in its stories are just extensions and embodiments of Brahman.

I remembered it as soon as I started reading this article. A lot of people who live on the Internet gave her a lot of crap when she first said it. IT got lumped in with the all-female Ghostbusters movie as stuff that seemed to be made for women by punching down to men.

Can you rephrase that last sentence? I’m not sure what you mean by it.

I know it’s been said here alread,y but I’d just like to add my voice to the chorus of people saying, “America didn’t invent greed, darling.”

Or to put it another way, “Death solves all problems. No man, no problem.”

Sounds like you and Joseph Stalin would have gotten on like a house on fire.

That’s untrue.

So what does Syed have to do in the meantime? Go back into custody?

This is one of the major reasons I’m never having kids. I’ve heard stories to the tune of, “We’re late because Timmy didn’t put his shoes on, and when I forced them on, the ripped them off the second I turned around,” and... I just don’t know how much self-control I could exercise if a 6yo were making me late for such…

Yeah, “I guess I just don’t do ANYTHING right and should be shot for the high crime of making a mistake” is textbook controlling/histrionic behavior, designed to make the other person think, “Man, it’s just not worth to offer them any criticism whatsoever.”

You need this:

Okay, take everything you said, and pit it against someone saying, “Alcoholics are literally drinking themselves to death and they can’t help it, and that’s why alcohol should be banned.” Do you agree? “Whales” sound like alcoholics to me. Should we make doing something more bad than good for you legally impossible,…

Has there ever been a good show that makes fun of its audience in the trailer? The whole “adult who still watch cartoons” thing sounds like so many edgy, ironic takes that fizzled out. It sounds like late-era View Askew movies from Kevin Smith, which I’m pretty sure have not been well-received.

I’d literally say in ninety minutes there are about two-and-a-half events.

Comparing The Babadook to Skinamarink reminds me of that scene from The Simpsons where Bart gets scammed into paying a bunch for an Itchy and Scratchy animation cel, and the Comic Book Guy says, “Look: This is a Snagglepuss, drawn by Hig…

Hated it. It’s 90 minutes of off-angles looking at walls and door frames, child-voiced whispers so muffled the film provides its own subtitles, and the attempt to draw out a feeling of dread way past the breaking point. I can’t care that these little kids whose faces I never get to see are in oblique supernatural…

I lucked out in drawing Leader after getting to Pool 3. I really wish he was the 100% winner people act like he is. I usually retreat as soon as I see Wong, whom I still don’t have, and Silver Surfer really ran roughshod over me last season. Simply put, your 12-card deck is meant to synergize well, with cards helping…

If the child’s a minor and it’s against the law...

Especially considering what James 5 says we should never do “above all”.

Yes to everything you just said. Reminds me of a friend I had in college whose girlfriend liked to get drunk and hit him, claiming he had agitated her into it. He said something like, “I don’t know if ‘Why do you make me hit you?’ is a defensible position.”
