This was a post of beauty.  It encapsulates so much in an elegant way.  Love it.

LOL, you’re proving the assertion here. Musk doesn’t create things. He buys into them, forces out the actual creators, then self-aggrandizes. He’s a fraud and a charlatan. He’s great at manipulating people with promises he doesn’t fulfill. I mean, half of what you’re listing here are cutesy BS that he does to

Bro he got so angry at someone for saving kids before he could he literally hired people to try to paint the rescuer as a pedophile so he still looked good. What are you on about? 

I’m not surprised that Musk has a loyal fan base; there’s never going to be a shortage of rubes who will line up to lick the boots of a rich asshole out of the delusional belief that they’ll somehow benefit from his largess (even if only through osmosis).

I do want to see Friend’s Hitman at some point (because I love the Hitman franchise), even though by all accounts it’s terrible.

One of the best pieces of television ever. Just brilliant from start to finish.

I never looked at Sam Neill the same way after ‘Event Horizon’. So if I watch this, will this change the new way I’ve been looking at Sam Neill?

Nothing would be bleaker than a show about what a public defender’s life is actually like, where it’s nearly impossible to determine guilt or innocence even if you wanted to because you’re drowning in cases. So you spend hours filling out paperwork and making deals as quickly and efficiently as possible without ever

I’m not that far yet, but I might be getting there. There are 10 movies listed here and probably only 3 are intriguing to me. Although it looked like Awkwafina might be in one of the movies, so I’ll make it 4.

The issue is that, when you strip everything away, the plot of RPO is bare bones at best and is in service of dropping pop culture references rather than telling a story. The literal climax of the book has the protagonist quote Monty Python and the Holy Grail verbatim.

Yeah that’s another thing, Weir’s female characters at worst are just underdeveloped and one note (Again, this just from reading The Martian, I have not read his other novel.). Which just seems to be a problem with his characters in general.

The face of a man literally caught with his pants down

This comment section is hilarious. Just the sheer amount of people gatekeeping what punk rock is “supposed” to be, while simultaneously scratching their heads at the idea of an old-school punk rocker being... anti-censorship?? Who could’ve seen that one coming?

Or a Batman ‘66 villain.

Now playing

The Tom Cruise Run has nothing on the Wilford Brimley Horse Ride:

I wonder why Netflix or some other streaming service can’t semi-regularly put out solid 90s thrillers like The Firm.

So many YouTube “analysis” videos amount to nothing more than “Look how much comic book lore I know! Revel in the greatness of my nerdhood!” It's insufferable.

*Male protagonist exhibits behavior considered to be traditionally “manly” behavior and has a underdeveloped female love interest whose presence doesn’t contribute to the overall story.*

You mean to tell me this show is arguing that technology may in fact have both good and bad aspects?  No....
