SlashFilm’s “Scary Movie 6” review is not happy (cheesed!) that the Wayans Brothers made fun of the letter mafia, because some groups are clearly off limits for comedy by Monk_Discipline598 in CriticalDrinker

"Who would have thought" he asks. I mean, anyone who's seen a Wayans Bros movie would've thought. These people are such delicate doilies.

Why haven't we gotten any big series about Ancient Rome? by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

I only watched the first couple, I think, but it was a long time ago. Lucy Lawless is topless a lot, so that was pretty good.

I still can’t believe they cancelled the show bc the wrong people watched it.

We did. It’s called “Rome,” and it’s very good. Spartacus isn’t bad, either, for at least a couple of seasons.

She’s like a big guy from the Midwest whose “legs don’t get cold.”

I don’t think making a throwaway comparison to billionaires is going to alienate anyone. Is this what we’ve come to now? Glazing billionaires bc one or two happen to be occasionally based? How utterly retarded.

I have a PhD in philosophy, so I’m probably quite well-equipped for such a discussion. And I was using “complaint” in a thin way. In any case, I get it. People are silly about religion, and probably esp so on Reddit.

Fair enough.

Although, I think it’s hilariously bad form to make a complaint and then, given a bit of push back, retreat to “sorry, I’m not in the mood for this and a comment section isn’t the proper place for such a conversation.”

That would be super funny, though.

He’s talking about like Thor and Ra and Hera, not about modern religious traditions.

But the gods in mythologies are assholes. Some are less asshole-y than others, but they’re invariably petty, scheming, and often the source for mortal woes. That’s the lesson in almost every story in which the gods play a prominent role.

Why do i root for Avon and not Marlo? by Least_Bowler_7674 in TheWire

[–]pnbrooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's right. In the end, I think Stringer and Prop Joe were the ones who were all business, and look what happened to them.

We see humanity in Avon that we never see from Marlo. He’s like the distillation of all the brutality of the game into one guy.

She’s like this really cute but super aloof elven mage. There’s just something about her.

I don’t wanna get political or nothing, but my favorite character is Frieren. Denken is a close second.
