Elaborate, please. I would love to hear other people's thoughts on it.

That sounds very much like a GLaDOS line.

Who's your favorite impressionist painter?

It depends on how much you can divorce an artist from their art. I can read "Ender's Game" without constantly being reminded of Orson Scott Card's homophobia, but I can't listen to Chris Brown without being reminded that he beats women. Then again, I never wanted to listen to Chris Brown anyway, so, I haven't lost

So, I finally saw Anomolisa.
All in all, I'd have to call it a disappointment. It was beautiful purely in terms of its animation, the script was as well-written as any other Kaufman movie, the acting was rather remarkable, but I walked out of it thinking the same thing I thought after seeing Synecdoche, New York:

Let me preface this by saying that as far as I'm concerned, the American republican party should all be put on a boat and shipped out to one of the islands they hide their money on so we don't have to deal with their bullshit anymore.
But….Christie is sort of my new favorite. I know that objectively he's a total

Coens movies are always odd upon first watch, because they're usually enjoyable (Or in the case of "No Country…", at least engaging) throughout the actual watching experience, but the big picture is usually not obvious until some reflection. They tend to be rather subtle in terms of what their movie are exactly about,

See, I think the multi-faceted nature of his career would be better demonstrated by many different artists. One as Major Tom, one as Ziggy Stardust, one as the Thin White Duke, one as the Blackstar, ad one for everyone in between. That, to me, would be the best way to pay tribute to how much this man was, to not even

The weirdest thing is, even though it's seriously experimental, explores some really dark subject matter, and is really heartbreaking in retrospect, it's still catchy as hell. I'll catch myself walking around the house going "I'm a Blackstar/I'm a Blackstar/I'm not a gangstar." And then I'll remember that that hook is

"OR RATHER, SOMEONE GET HIM OFF THE HORN, AND ONTO THE TELEPHONE. AND BY 'THE HORN', I MEAN DAVID BURTKA'S HORN. WHAT I'M SAYING IS, TELL HIM TO GET OFF OF HIS HUSBAND'S DICK, AND GET ON THE PHONE. BUT, NOT ON THE PHONE IN THE SAME SENSE THAT HE WAS ON DAVID BURTKA'S HORN. TELL HIM NOT TO FUCK HIS PHONE. I'M DOING

Yeah, I caught the second half of KP2 on TV a while back, and was slightly dumbstruck at how spectacular some of its action sequences are. That thing is the T2/Road Warrior/Aliens of animated talking Panda movies.

You do know that historians almost universally agree that Jesus (Or Yeshua) did exist, right? Obviously, they don't all believe he was the son of God, but most believe he was a real person who really taught people some chill ideas.

That line is immediately followed by "She was far too pretty to cringe this way, but Peter thought it was his due, and he would answer condescendingly…." It's all supposed to make a point about Peter's own narcissism. He saves Tiger Lily, and then turns her family's gratitude and politeness into a self-congratulatory

The Unsinkable Fats Domino!

It's so frustrating to see how Disney has turned Tigerlily into one of the standards of insensitivity, when there's no hint of that in the book. In fact, she's barely in the book, and might not even have a line of dialog. She's in one chapter, in which she's captured by Hook and nearly drowned, and the only real hint

Her last proper appearance before "Blank Eyed Girl" was in "Bad Little Boy", which aired February 18th, 2013.

Star with "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" That one is a little easier to get into for newcomers, while still being far from lightweight. It's not his greatest novel or his easiest novel, but it's his easiest great novel.

Now now, Jerry. Remember your blood pressure.

No, that's Golb, who, judging by "You Forgot Your Floaties", is evil incarnate.

Sure, buddy. Whatever you want to say happened. I've moved on to discussing the new episode of my favorite children's cartoon; this stupid conversation is out of my headspace.
