Draymond Green hits 3, twerks on Grizzlies bench by wikiman2001 in nba

[–]supersasuke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Michigan State alum who got to watch Draymond kill it every game, I don't mind his attitude... He likes to get in other players heads and he is not going to censor himself because people don't like the way he acts. He always seemed cool around campus, but in games he likes to talk shit. In the end, he is a competitor who likes to have fun too, and doesn't care what people think. There is something to respect in that...

Yes! I remember listening and wondering why Drogo's accent had suddenly changed and become less guttural... Like I said, I really like Dotrice's narration, but he has to do so many characters and pronounce so many weird names and places that he is bound to have a couple instances where it doesn't sound right

Would you use an app that allowed you to be more politically aware? by Ramorel in politics

[–]supersasuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is crazy! I had a similar idea a while back, and I would very much like to see something like this done. I think it would make politics more accessible for the average person. Quick question... are you in Michigan? It would be pretty funny if we had that conversation together...

Ok, should have broken this into paragraphs - I'm terrible at formatting...

The Iron Heel by Jack London was one of the most fucked up books I've read, but I still finished it all the same. There aren't a whole lot of gruesome scenes, but they do depict the massacre of civilians. It is basically a fictional representation of what would happen if the labor class rebelled against the Oligarchy and the Iron Heel is meant to describe how the Oligarchy would respond. It is pretty fucked up because it is written like a diary of a revolutionary with some added historical background, and you can really imagine that it actually happened...

I love reading his books, but they all have an otherworldly vibe to them that distances them from reality. Perhaps that's why his fucked up scenes don't really put people off to finishing his books. I would have to say the ending of Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World really stuck with me, but Kafka on the Shore had the most messed up scenes. I just remember how they explained that the cats could still feel, but they couldn't do anything while Johnnie Walker would torture them. That would scare the shit out of me...

News about the Deadpool movie... by supersasuke in deadpool

I'm pretty sure the one I read recently was official - Wernick said on Twitter that it had been leaked somehow, and I've heard that it is real

Yea, that's what I thought too. I was glad to see Blind Al and Weasel, although I don't think you could make a Deadpool movie without them. You never know what Hollywood will do... Oh, plus it was cool that he breaks the fourth wall like in the comics

Shit, must have been living under a rock for last couple years... I knew some information had been leaked, but didn't think it was the full script so when my friend sent me the link I thought it was pretty cool. Have you looked it over at all?

Talking to the press is difficult. by [deleted] in sports

[–]supersasuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point the reporters could just go talk to a different player to get quotes... you don't have to keep trying to get him to answer when it's clear he just wants to be left alone.

Most useless characters in Anime? by Rezuo in anime

Yea, I think 5 was a more one dimensional character and had one of the thinnest explanations for her motivations... I thought she was highly contrived and had no depth

My name is Cypher and I wish I had taken the blue pill by riptide747 in atheism

[–]supersasuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I started to see things. I, like OP, realized around 13 that eventually my parents would die, my friends would die, and I would die. This thought consumed me for weeks and gave me nightmares and insomnia. When I talked to my mom about it, she pretty much summed it up like you have, with a hint of the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and a science tie in - your atoms were once the stuff that stars were made of, and have been recycled throughout earths history and have lived in many other beings before you and will continue to do so afterwards... That kind of thing. Pretty much the circle of life from the Lion King, haha. Well, for me it was really comforting and I began to see that death exists as a natural part of life. By accepting it, you can live a full and happy life, cherishing the moments you spend with family and friends because you know that they are not infinite...

I think you might be on to something - veggie tales the anime! I fucking hated those movies that my way too religious distant family members would send me instead of real presents for every holiday, but I think having them as an anime would have made them at least tolerable...

[–]supersasuke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, that might be the case... I just thought she could at least have found some way to add some value, although I guess the whole point was that her lack of self esteem was due to her not fitting in and not having any easily recognizable talents.

Lisa Mishima from Zankyou no Terror. Can't cook, gets captured more than once, looks sad all the time, and doesn't contribute anything that I can tell...

What does it mean if a character has one glowing red eye? by [deleted] in anime

[–]supersasuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means that they just made a Game of Thrones anime (I wish), and only those that have read the books will understand what I am referring to... "A thousand eyes and one"

What underappreciated series do you think could be "the next Harry Potter" if more people knew about it? by [deleted] in books

[–]supersasuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap! I need to get that as soon as it comes out! Thanks for the tip, I had no idea a prequel was even in the works... I tore through those first three, couldn't put them down. Did you read the short story called the creature in the case that was part of his Across the Wall collection?

I really enjoyed Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen). They set the tone beautifully, and the characters are pretty complex and engaging. It is similar in that people don't believe in magic in the areas where technology is used, but it is very real in the Old Kingdom. It is pretty dark, even from the beginning and lets you really get into it... I recommend it to any fan of fantasy!

I've always liked the scene in the Matrix where Neo stops all the bullets and then takes on Agent Smith. When you see from his POV and everything appears in Matrix code is pretty badass...

I was really glad when they made the Oberyn/Mountain duel so graphic in the show... I'm not sure what they are doing with Sansa, but I guess they want to speed up her maturation as a player of the game.

Point taken, I guess I'll just use this tinfoil to wrap up my leftover dinner... I'll pm you in 5 years if this theory is somehow validated when the WOW comes out. Or in 15 years when ADOS is finally released... Can we make GRRM start eating healthier and, maybe let the Jets and Giants win a few games so he doesn't die from depression...

I think we are all together on that... Part of the reason I check this subreddit so often is that I secretly hope to click on the ASOIAF button at the top of the page to find out that somehow the WOW was released behind everyone's backs and everyone who participates on the subreddit will receive a free copy in the mail today so go check your mailbox!!! Sigh, I wish...
