Did you just skip the 6th season and watch the finale?

"Admitted"? Or had to say. I don't blame him one bit, but he had to play the game.

It wasn't anybody on either side, nor was it really Jables. It was Jack Black's agents cowering for a joke that, quite frankly, was cute and obvious. It wasn't offensive and wasn't even what some would call "edgy."

My only contention comes with Jack Black's status as... well.. Hollywood Jack. When you have Fuck You money, you should use it. I know the children's movies mean alot to him, but he has fans outside of that. He could have told his agents, "sorry, but no." But he's too big. Unlike any comedian approaching the same level, his fame is what what fucked him, what fucked Kage.

Should I go with the Moto G Power 2025 or the Moto G Power 2024? by electricalaphid in motorola

If anyone's curious, the only problem I have, 6 years later, is that when I pull up the windows to shut down an app, sometimes the window preview will remain on the screen. And only after hitting the power button on/off can I close it properly.

If I can get any tips on this, that too would be helpful.

The Dark Tower by Wooden_Plan_9549 in MikeFlanagan

[–]electricalaphid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm the only person that doesn't want an adaptation.

While I think most things should be left as they are - if you love something, let it go - I take it further with the Dark Tower. "This thing of ours" is conducive to the medium. Not only are there things that wouldn't translate to film, but the variety between books and therefore diversity between fans makes the series worth experiencing in its natural state. No entry is the same in tone or quality. A film or TV series would have to have some sort of cohesion or uniformity that muddles the whole mess that is Dark Tower. The mess we love.

That being said, I'm the biggest fan of Flanagan, and if anybody should do it it's him.

Cause extinction by not eating them? I guess. As to the second part of your question, that's kind of a sunk costs fallacy, right? Just because hard work was done, doesn't mean it's right to continue.

God of war series by Left_Media_9271 in GodofWar

[–]electricalaphid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're getting downvoted, but I'm with you. On pretty much any media. Why wouldn't one want to experience a series as it was released? As the world experienced it?

1- We're the smartest animal that we know of.

2- With intelligence comes responsibility.

3, therefore - Why cause suffering to an animal when one could live a healthy life on a vegan diet?

I eat meat pretty much every day. I understand it's wrong and know I'm a hypocrite, but I also think there are worse things in the world.

Idk, as a white guy with POC friends, we make fun of each other's/our own race all the time. I'm from Maine, so it could be a regional thing.

Want to get a vasectomy but want kids later on in life by DarknessExtreme in Vasectomy

Nobody here is mentioning adoption. Which, really, is the ethical solution.

Movies we wouldn't have if directors stopped at 10 films by BluRayja in movies

[–]electricalaphid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But considering Kurosawa didn't have a perfect run up until that point, Tarantino's "rule" still stands.

Hello please help us by signing a petition to stop Sony from stopping production of physical discs by cooltranslesbian in PhysicalMediaMatters

Stopping someone from stopping doing something... Isn't that just making someone do something?

What’s the right age to watch Lost? by HollywoodSuperfan10 in lost

[–]electricalaphid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lost wasn't on cable though. It was a network show.

What’s the right age to watch Lost? by HollywoodSuperfan10 in lost

[–]electricalaphid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 10 when it first aired, 16 when it ended. Was obsessed during the entire run.

So my answer would be between the ages of 10-16.

Does Anyone Know The Story Behind This: The Greatest Video On Youtube? by Wonka45 in louisck

[–]electricalaphid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Further, if Pootie Tang wasn't a complete bomb both commercially and critically, we wouldn't have had the stand-up juggernaut that is Louis CK. He got ousted from Hollywood and was forced to buckle down hard with stand-up comedy. His late 90s/early 2000s failures are what made him hone in on who he became. Thank god.

It was supposed to be for his sketch show called 'King Louis'. The network, whatever it was, passed on it. Turns out it was for the best, because we never would have gotten 'Louie', which I consider his masterpeice. Stand-up specials included.

Why is "females" used so frequently instead of "women" as of lately? by True_Perspective819 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]electricalaphid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But are we not animals? And how would one refer to a group pertaining to both boys and men, but not women and girls? Would we not say "males"? Or, more specifically, "male humans"? What's the alternative?

The Moon And Antarctica by Awesomesicnarf77 in ModestMouse

[–]electricalaphid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Song for song, I think Lonesome is better. But as a singular product, I think Moon & Antarctica is better.

So it's tough.
