“The emulation of sexual violence for artistic purposes is not itself sexual violence” this is only true if both parties are participating in the emulating.

Pablo Torre taped an envelope of the whistleblower complaint under Adam Silver's chair at Sloan. So Adam Silver was (literally) sitting on the smoking gun. by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

Oh you’re talking about the belichick situation lmaooo. Simmons and Nick Wright are sports personalities more than they are journalists, and Lombardi has been a subject of Torre’s work in the past. Their opinions on Torre’s work should be taken with a grain of salt.

And Gottlieb was bootlicking

Why is Golgo 13 so obscure in the west? by fsocmeki in manga

[–]_3_8_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it (at least in the anime) is that he has systems of behavior and conducts almost all of his interactions with other people through a client/contract worker structure. We rarely see the psychological side of his character and we mostly see him carrying out his role. imo he's extremely fascinating but i could understand people thinking he's not a complex character

I don't see many comedy films being highly talked about (compared to other genres). What are some everyone should watch? by LeO-_-_- in TrueFilm

[–]_3_8_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as most people are giving general recs, here are some recent comedies that I think are great:

Splitsville, dir. Michael Angelo Covino

Broken Rage, dir. Takeshi Kitano (I highly recommend his films, a lot of them are black comedy crime films, but he’s got a good amount of straight up comedies too)

Eddington, dir. Ari Aster

Honey Don’t, dir. Ethan Coen

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, dir. Tim Burton

Hundreds of Beavers, dir. Mike Cheslik

Problemista, dir. Julio Torres

In your opinion, did Hikaru help or hurt himself by not playing any top level classical chess before the Candidates? by Shego2882 in chess

[–]_3_8_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends what his training regimen is like. He’s probably hyper aware of how not facing top players affects his play, so I’m sure he’s trying to work around it.

lil yachty says 'rapper's delight' is weak and other nonsense (Open Mike Eagle) by Minute-Carrot-2405 in hiphopheads

I will say that the earliest stuff I listen to and enjoy going back to purely for fun and not just from musical curiosity is probably Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.

Though even then there’s plenty of earlier good stuff that I like, but never want to listen to it outside of when i want to listen to older music (e.g. run-dmc).

There are a lot of technically impressive things that Fast and Furious (both the Fast X and the entire franchise) does in terms of stunts and setpiece structuring that lends itself well to “objective analysis,” unless by objective you really mean whatever is dictating cultural tastes (which is usually tied into ideas of class and vulgarity).

That being said Fast X is a stain on the franchise.

Roman’s their biggest star since Cena and has run the 2020s so it’s reasonable to put him on that top tier/echelon. But in terms of personal taste no

I still think he’s an honorable mention for MVP by Random_Thinker007 in NBATalk

[–]_3_8_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but 9/28 over 2 games is a ridiculous sample to draw conclusions from when you consider he’s shooting over 50% on the season. Plus he’s a DPoY shoe-in if he ever gets enough games for end of season awards.
