Hey let's hope we're not at war with North Korea this time tomorrow!

Superman turns out to be evil, superboy saves the day. What's not to like? This is also a series with a strong enough supporting cast that an expanded universe makes sense. This could work.

The election really ruined HN for me. Funny in the abstraction but in the bleak reality I just don't want to listen.

First act is absolutely spectacular. I think it has done the best job of that "otherworldly horror impinging on reality slowly but surely" vibe in modern filmmaking. There are some brilliant images in the rest of the movie but the last third is just so lackluster.

He's much closer to Tiberius in his later years. Fat, paranoid, isolated and utterly perverted, addicted to the bleating of his oracle (substitute "Fox and Friends" for Thrasyllus). Caligula represented too much of the idea of youth and vigor to really transfer over to Trump.

Yeah. I fear in fifty years the prevalent accent will have been flattened out into a vocal fry mid-Atlantic national language as everyone is exposed to the same media from birth

You may not realize this but 1990 was 40 years ago.

Current graduating high school seniors were almost all born after 9/11.

Seriously? The Aussie puppet was named "Agro"? Were the sidekicks "Goon Bag" and "Glassed Face"?

Man, national media sucks. There was a bright moment there when regional television was a vibrant and exciting universe with its own galaxy of well-known local stars. Every decent city had its own little ecosystem of celebrities and specials and hosts. Now it's all syndicated sameness.

Hmmm… that is a lot of goddamn money and that's probably not even counting his book money. It's kind of an interesting ethical experiment. Could I make more long term positive impact through thirty years of charitable giving than the damage caused for five years of being someone that abhorrent?

Many ethnic Russians in glorious breakaway republic of Laurel Canyon. Must annex Dawes for safety.

"Killing an Arab: A Biography of The Cure"

He's got a fervent base. His terrible books sell millions of copies and his show gets ratings.

'Sup fellow teens? I'm Saint Agnes! I was convicted of blasphemy at age 13 and dragged naked through the streets of Rome to a brothel as punishment! It was not at all bae. But the people who tried to rape me were struck blind! Jesus is lit AF! I was beheaded after being badly burnt and tortured.

Roll a five for Tubal-Cain to eat that lizard

That's one of the most corrosive things with the longest lasting consequences. An entire generation has been shown that admitting to sexual assault does not disqualify you from the presidency and that indulging your worst instincts and actions wins.

Noah was definitely hit and miss but I respect the balls it took to make something that singular and strange with that kind of budget and audience.

He's definitely the most effective right wing populist. He did grasp early on that all of the Cato Institute/Koch brothers crap had no resonance with the base. Instead of being beholden to weird ideological benchmarks instilled by bizzare billionaires he figured out he could just ditch the crap and promise the world…

Yeah, it seems like there are Facebook groups that are just /pol/ style racist shitposting made up of thousands of servicemen. Scary shit.
