Man, I still remember the day I first found/played The Gun on MAME.
It was...definitely a weird deviation from its source, but a fascinating one (interesting to me is that its most faithful nod to the movie itself is that fairly grim ending - you survive the alien threat only to get cut down by W-Y in the ever popular…

“Did they write the script?”
Actually, yes. Yes they did (well, O’Bannon did, but Shusett does also get story credit.)

YOU WILL PERISH IN FLAMES!
*bolts out of the restaurant, knocking over a trashcan in the process*

Honestly, I’d believe it from everything I’ve heard (which, while a shame, does at least make for the small punchline of ‘The right wing media sphere got its shorts in a wad over THIS?!’)

In this case, more stepping in to clarify with regards to the South Park criticism - which even they’ve at least once copped to not…

Only because they said no to him performing ‘Der Furher’s Face’

Just a reminder for those playing at home, the big reason the term ‘white’ caught on was due to certain chunks of European descent looking at the changing demographic and realizing it was getting browner than they were comfortable with. Faced with the possibility of no longer having a majority, they decided they were…

Also not Bart’s first time being expelled.

...are we absolutely sure this isn’t being auto-written now?

To be fair, John Ford isn’t being marketed directly to kids the way Disney is.
Kind of a big difference there.

As awkward as the siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp are, they’re still only runner up to the siamese cat in The Aristocats.

Everybody Wants to Be a Cat is mostly a perfectly harmless song...then that cat shows and it takes a brief hard sidestop into fucking YIKES.

Possible, but unlikely. Those people are more likely to be furiously masturbating to Birth of a Nation for the 100th time this month.

Song of the South is...unfortunate, to be sure, but it seems more misguided than willfully trying to push a message the way something like MK or BoaN is.

That said, personally, I’m team…

In a case like this, I think it’s less specifically ‘this doesn’t align with my views’ as it is ‘I feel the point this is making is disingenuous.’

Again, as people have pointed out, over time, South Park’s ‘both sides are equally terrible’ line has started to ring more hollow thanks to one side pretty openly embracing…

I’m gonna have to insist that, despite the impulse to make them a barbarian, you consider making them a rogue.

That way, you can double it as a Shaw Brothers tribute.

This. Doubly so given who’s currently in power (and let’s not forget the role of late night hosts in polishing THAT turd up.)

“It’s time to pray!”

At about halfway through that episode, I was bracing for it to culminate in him just throwing up at the podium.
I’m still not sure whether I’m more relieved or disappointed that didn’t happen.

...wow. That...
I had known about the two (in this case, care of the podcast Swindled doing a general overview on his litany of wretchedness) but either they had left out or I forgot the third guy in there.

Again, the fact this guy is allowed back in says SO much for the modern evangelical movement, and none of it’s…

Given how much they stump for him, the money may as well be going to his campaign anyway.

Let’s paint that picture a bit more vividly. Alongside the scamming, there was a whole bunch of sexual misconduct allegations, right up to reports of him raping someone and then paying them off.

The fact someone can be that much of a hypocritical scumbag and STILL not fall out of favor with the Evangelical set (for…

He would want that.
He would want that SO fucking badly right now.

One of the most fascinating parts of listening to the podcast Knowledge Fight - their chronicling of the decline of Alex Jones over the past few months has painted a picture of a man equal parts disgusting and sad as fuck in how he’s trying to stay…

It’s like when people act like Y2K was a whole lot of nothing.

Was it as bad as initially predicted? No. Funny thing that - THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY FROM THE START INSTEAD OF WAITING TILL IT MAKES YOU LOOK BAD.

I don’t care how wrong it sounds out loud - I genuinely heaved a sigh of relief…

Credit where it’s due - in the pantheon of directors who’ve done extremely questionable things, he’s one of the few who’s genuinely seemed to show remorse for his actions.
