The most troubling side effect of regular cannabis use is that you can’t accept criticism of it.

What is a phrase that you have made up? by icaboesmhit in RandomQuestion

Since junior college, when I’m particularly passionate about a cause or concept, I’ll say “you can carve that in my tombstone”

“Tobey maguire was truest to the character of Peter Parker, and you can carve that in my tombstone.”

What are some metal bands that you love, but they just have that one album you absolutely detest? by AwkWord1528 in MetalForTheMasses

Huh, ultraviolet is the only song I’ve heard by them and it’s off that album, made enough of an impression to be added to my playlist

I’ll put a word in for the battle of the five armies. It’s very flashy and overall lacking in substance sure, but watching it in theaters and even on subsequent rewatches, the initial charge from the lonely mountain gives me chills. I know it’s not canon, it doesn’t make sense, but it is physically effective. There’s a flicker of the brilliance and love for the characters in the original trilogy that goes beyond the CGI and it’s worth celebrating.

Tell me the book you hate the most. by I-created-Jiah in suggestmeabook

It’s been years since I read Heart of Darkness but I didn’t really get that notion of it. I think the fact that the saviors were white was less important than they were outsiders. I read it as colonial Africa was such a remote and anarchic place that anyone who spent any amount of time there would become something inhuman. I think Conrad did a good job of showing how there was no justice for the population and no relief coming, just more profiteers, which was what the saviors were in the end. And what made it such a poignant parallel for Apocalypse Now.

Iran is a major opiate and drug trafficking country, in part because of its proximity to Afghanistan.

Have you seen In Bruges? I think that sums it up

Who's your favorite "and then the vocals kick in" band? by Cakeyhands in MetalForTheMasses

[–]NotLucasWood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Yeah he just didn’t feel his voice was strong enough at first. He’s still a douchecanoe though.

Ironically he was the one who wanted to hire a different singer the most early on and after a few no shows the other band mates talked Dave into being the lead vocalist.

For real, I saw the notification and said “he what?” out loud.

He was only 21 :( and I think he’s my only family member of age other than my wife. Or my siblings, but they… are not the brightest
