Oh man, best YouTube show ever. I'm STILL quoting Nappa all the time. It's only worth watching for Dragonball fans, but boy is it added value.

My favorite subtitle text description ever is still [crying in spanish]. You only get that patronising bull when you put on american closed captions though. At least, I've never seen a dutch subtitle set translate anything that way.

As someone who grew up with subtitles I don't understand when native English speakers get so upset with them. They don't even register for me anymore. I read them on a subconscious level. In fact, I think the fact that everything is being dubbed in dutch these days is the reason all the kids in the next generation can't speak English for beans - I certainly learned it from english language cartoons.

Jack Nicholson plays the same character so often you kinda forget he's actually really good. Rewatched Chinatown last week, so good.

I liked him in the first one.

Maybe another channel will pick it up... but not likely. I also just heard they're turning Rush Hour, the Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker movie series, into a show (albeit with a different cast). My first instinct was to hate it, until I found it it's being run by Bill Lawrence (Scrubs). Now I'm mildly curious.

I gotta say, the Solaris remake wasn't as good as the original but sometimes I watch just the first couple of minutes or so because the opening is gorgeous.

Because, we hate people who ask for equal treatment on instinct. God instilled that in us after Satan asked for equal rights. (Did that one fare better on the Poe's law front?)

Why Edgar Allen Poe? That's not the Poe that refers to.

I was trying to be sarcastic.

...Is now clickbait journalism also the fault of the SJW conspiracy? Obviously. (On a side note, SJW conspiracy implies SJWs are organized. The only thing SJWs hate more than non-SJWs is other SJWs.)

Hm, I felt that while the interviewee didn't protest reading to your kids, that is what the interviewer was trying to focus on.

Probably nothing. Every single example of an artistic director getting free reign and massive budgets has ended in disaster. Limitation breeds creativity.

It's the parents who don't read to their kids that are disadvantaging those kids.

So pretty much the entire canon is going to be in Civil War except for Hulk and Thor.

There's very little point to discussing such films if it's not for professional reasons anyway. Everything that has to be said about them has been said. It's an empty excercise. There's no fun or thrill in theorizing to find out where they're going to go next. But essentially saying "I love an intellectual novel but I can't go on a rollercoaster and enjoy it" doesn't make you superior, it makes you very clearly inferior. Hell, I'll one-up it - psh, why talk about hacks like Kurosawa? You can't tell a story in a 2 hours movie! Read a book, movies are for people without intellectual understanding! Read something by Danielewski instead otherwise you're dumb! Pretentious nonsense.

So liking popcorn entertainment and more highbrow fare is mutually exclusive now? That sounds utterly pretentious. People like different things for different reasons and being judgy about it is just revealing how insecure you really are about how nobody else seems to like what you like.

Nein nein. Thor is a crippled nerd named Donald Blake before he picks up the hammer.

Meet Zappa. There's a bunch of pictures of him behind the link. They make me smile. http://www.boredpanda.com/sid-lookalike-greyhound-tongue-dog-zappa/

Fem-Thor is not a concept I have an issue with. I actually think she's really cool. I just have an issue with it being used for anvilicious reasons. Like that aforementioned fight, and how people pretend it's a great leap forward when what the message it's really giving is "popular female superheroes can only exist by piggybacking on the mileage of male ones". That doesn't seem to be an image worth striving for.

Although Joss Whedon has plainly come out and said that the rumor he was chased off by abuse is nonsense, because radical feminists have always been harassing him and he's used to it. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.

As long as it's not Milo.

Yeah, if that stupid little flamewar didn't derail this topic already, I think that did.

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't do mobile gaming. It just doesn't appeal to me. It's not really photography if you do it with your mobile.

Now I feel bad because I have the same and I'm not that old.
