Fair enough. I suppose I don't mind the comparison; my grandfather was a pretty wise man with a lot of insight to share.

It's the politically correct term for Natives in Canada, since Native American doesn't work, and "Indian" can get confusing depending on how close you are to a major metropolitan center.

I'm a First Nations person, but I say Indian all the time. "Feather, not dot" is just a corny joke to delineate heritage. I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with it.

When the hell did Manson cover Garth Brooks?

I've dropped bigger poops. Chuckie's seemed about, I don't know, average.

Ugh. That scene still leaves me shook. I skip over it anytime I rewatch this show.

I guffawed when "Lungs" asked if anyone had a smoke.

Contrary to what you may think, wet nurses are indeed still a real thing. For, I should add, very good reasons.

Having grown up in a ghetto I can't say that it's all that logically absurd. There have been a few situations in Shameless that may seem patently over the top, but I have seen similar stuff happen for even more petty reasons.

I can't wait until it's a full on war between the poor of the southside versus the fucking yuppies hellbent on gentrification.

So… what the hell would this even be? Is it the Adnan saga, or is it about Koenig and company investigating the Adnan saga? Is it a mix of both, Citizen Kane style? What the hell is even the point?

The XP works out to about the same rate for both lethal and nonlethal playthroughs. The key difference is that XP is lost for not killing with headshots, much in the same way XP is lost for not avoiding alerts and alarms on a stealth run. The game absolutely does not penalize players for not playing stealthy, or…

I think Gone Girl is damn near perfect as is. I'm not sure why anyone would want to fuck with the magic of that film by trying for another. Not to mention it wrapped itself up beautifully.

I'm actually more enthusiastic about the movie going forward. Gary Whitta's other works include the Book of Eli and After Earth. You know, that Jayden Smith movie.

That is actually the best explanation for Grindhouse that I've ever read. Nailed it.

For me A Dame to Kill For isn't terrible, it's boring. I got through half of the film and I was overwhelmed with this sense that everyone involved was just going through the motions. While the aesthetic was wildly imaginative and slick as hell in 2005, it feels dated in Sin City 2. A lot of the camera work feels…

In hindsight that smear job comment really wasn't the best way to describe it. I'm unsure of whether to edit it out because I believe when you're wrong you should admit as such.

I find that disgusting and disheartening. Is there somewhere I can read more about this? I had no idea that things were like that.

I didn't say it was. I was relaying my experience with my country's criminal justice system and how it informed my view of how these things are handled. Apparently this is not the norm in the United States. I think that's rather depressing.

No I'm not aware of that. Things must work differently where I live, because when my girlfriend had her experience everyone from the police to the prosecution worked their asses off to get justice for her. Nobody discouraged her from pressing charges and seeking justice; I was there every step of the way.
