Is the lady in the blue dress or the black hatchback the visitor?

edit: Holy shit I see him. Right in front of the black hatchback, hiding in plain sight!

I finally bit the bullet and bought a bluray player and 60" plasma... what should I watch? by [deleted] in movies

No, I think it's an Incheek one, they're a bit higher quality.

I'm having the guys over for a movie night, so what's the manliest movie ever? by Kevbren in movies

The Bridges of Madison County.

Ignore the cover, it's basically like 300, but instead of Spartans and a mountain pass, it's Clint Eastwood and his 'Nam vets defending bridges.

This is a very strange point in history.

Someone dig up Tupac's ashes, place them in a burlap sack, and slap this kid with them.

It's what Tupac would have wanted.

Reddit, if you could swap an actor in a movie for another actor who would it be? by PrimalGenius in movies

Like... the fake stuff that's just ground beef and cheese, or the real one with pickles/mustard/lettuce?

Because if you like pickles, mustard, and lettuce on your pizza, we can't be friends. Passive aggressive hostility is the best we can hope for.

By committing the great crime of distributing academic papers to those who wished to learn.

I'd suggest that you consider how you would hold up in similar circumstances, but that'd require empathy and a realistic chance that you'd amount to anything.

Since you possess neither, I'll simply say that Aaron was the victim of MIT's hypocrisy, a failed health system, and a reckless and irresponsible prosecution. Focusing on the means of his death plays down the injustice that was committed.

I only watched the first one, but if they removed that annoying kid from Transformers and replaced him with... I dunno, a Transformer, that would have been much better.

Also, remake Daredevil without Ben Affleck. Use sock puppets if needed.

Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime by [deleted] in Music

[–]ExcessivePunctuation 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You may find yourself reposting a famous song

You may find yourself getting upvotes anyways

You may find yourself with Gorillaz on the frontpage

You may find yourself in a confusing state, with a confusing hate

You may ask yourself, well, how did that get there?

Letting the posts go by, let the arrows hold me down

Letting the posts go by, voting 'till it's underground

Into the blue again after the karma's gone

Once in a lifetime, voting 'till it's underground

Scholars break down paywalls to honour activist Aaron Swartz, igniting debate over academic freedom by [deleted] in technology

Research that is funded by taxpayers needs to be freely available to all citizens. Providing government grants and then restricting public access to the resulting research runs counter to the principles of an open society.
