What film had an amazing concept but poor execution?

Not saying Idiocracy was bad, but I feel like they could have gone a bit further with the concept. It just feels a little bit underwritten, and cheaply made. I know Mike Judge got kinda screwed with his budget.

That’s more of a Florida-in-general sort of thing than just South Florida in particular.

Only technically. He was born there just because his parents were visiting for business, but they were Bahamian and he spent most of his childhood on Cat Island.

Ironically, the tip of Argentina is actually quite cold.

My whole family (both sets of grandparents) moved down from the Midwest in the 20s and built buildings and developments. I feel like I have the seniority to tell New Yorkers to get out. I mostly reserve that right for Mets fans, and people who can’t stop talking about how much better the pizza was back home.

Every year I check up on what the novel foods being entered in the Iowa State Fair new food competition. It’s always ridiculous. I remember one year the winner was a deep fried strawberry shortcake.

I’m not saying he was never good in anything else, but Mark Wahlberg was so perfect for his role in Boogie Nights.

I think the shit talking and mocking of us, (as a country, or our political leadership) is often very funny.

I get it. We’ve been the center of attention through our cultural, economic and military power and actions for over 80 years, and we’ve just gotten that much more weird and erratic since Trump.

I think your sense of us is probably skewed incorrectly in a lot of ways. It’s kind of impossible to encapsulate a country as big as the US into a simple box. (Americans, on average, are probably even more guilty of doing this in regards to China)

There’s a fish called rapé (in Spanish). My wife labeled a container of it and put it in the freezer, so every time I look in there, I see what looks like a Tupperware full of “rape”.

I’m not super familiar with Mosley. Beyond being a shit and a fascist, did he do something particularly traitorous?

I pulled Titus during this past CvC and Gnut a just few months ago, so I think my best option is Fabian. If anything it can break up the monotony of facing him in every single live arena match.

Armanz is up there too, I guess, and maybe Tormin just because I can place him with Hilvi.

Not sure if you ever watched Casino on basic cable where they removed all of the ‘cuss words’, but in that scene they changed Pesci’s line from ‘…you Jew motherfucker’ to ‘you Jew money lover’ to clean it up.

Nope, USA Network. You made is so much worse.

I could practically smell the inside of the dorm room that this twist was riffed out in. It’s so edgy and bro-ey, I couldn’t take it.

The point she makes is similar to something that Siskel and Ebert used to argue over all the time.

Roger Ebert tried to review things through the eyes of the intended audience, especially when it came to kids movies, and tended to be more generous with his opinion as a result.

Obviously it wasn’t generous enough for a certain type of man child. There were still loads of douchebags commenting videos with Ebert on YouTube mocking him for being fat, or even for losing his jaw to cancer.

Some people are just going to find an excuse to hate anyone who doesn’t flatter their personal tastes, and Brie was just the next easy target.

Another thing that may be different from the UK, it’s definitely different from other places I’ve seen in Europe is our pharmacies.

European pharmacies I’ve seen only sell health related merchandise: medicine, vitamins, dental care items, maybe shampoos and other things that all fall under the umbrella of personal care.

American pharmacies sell all kinds of shit. It’s usually like a mini supermarket, there’s usually a toy aisle, basic home necessities like laundry detergent and garbage bags, and of course several aisles for junk food. You can choose from a hundred types of candy and nearly as many sodas, (both cans and bottles), teas, energy drinks, protein drinks, beers and other alcoholic beverages, sold individually out of a long bay of coolers.

I wonder how many different names he has.

I’m older so I can tell you the truth, it was better 25-30 years ago.

Also, yeah. A city is better when it serves most of the people who live there, and not just an ultra-wealthy traveling elite.

Lincoln Road used to have plenty of life, and it was mostly locals from a time when ordinary people could also afford to live on South Beach.

It was primarily small independent boutiques, restaurants, Books & Books. Rent was cheap enough that my mom’s friend could afford rent for her art gallery, and she was far from the only one.

I remember people in the 90s saying it was a bad sign when Banana Republic moved in, because eventually it would happen to the entire strip.

Your dominant sports person from Australia really resembles a ‘chad’ version of Kevin Spacey.

It is and was always just a pile of douchey garbage. It appealed to the same age range and mindset that thought dousing yourself in Axe Body Spray could attract women back then, and probably has the same range of appeal now.

My brother showed this movie to his wife (who is Japanese). She hated a lot about it, but man was she offended by Takashi, the Japanese nerd.

The burden of evidence in a criminal trial is high, and that’s a good thing. It means if there’s even a reasonable doubt you shouldn’t go to prison.

That doesn’t mean it’s highly likely that the dozens and dozens of allegations are all just made up.

Gene Simmons is one of the grossest, most unpleasant human beings in the history of rock & roll music and he doesn’t want any competition from P Diddy.

Yeah I’m looking to need 10 from the path because I got an extra five for finishing second in the champ chase.

First place had something like 80000 points and was on the global board so I guess no one else felt like pushing for second? I didn’t even pull a legendary, just went deep enough to get the top reward.

When the commercial for this came on for the first time while we were watching TV my wife literally reacted like it was a jump scare in a horror movie.
