  1. wot. You think a 40-50 year old man clubbing and smoking pot with school girls is terrible? If you knew that was happening around your area or at your school, what would you do?
  2. Here you go.
  3. That's not why everyone went silent.
  4. Eye in the Sky. Riveting. Also, I've never heard a packed cinema go immediately quiet near the end of the movie. Couldn't hear anyone breathing. My girlfriend had her hand over her mouth and didn't move for a couple of minutes.
  5. You so clever Bruce. Taking ISIS as the standard to compare with people in the world. And pets don't do horrific deeds? Try using google. Your insight never ceases to amaze. Definitely a hard choice, but I think I might take my chances with the cheerleaders over a dog with rabies.
  6. I would pick 6 babes over a pet that's attacked somebody. There have been pets who have attacked family and the public. I'm deadly serious when I say I have no guilt throwing Cujo overboard to make room for 6 members of a cheer leader squad. So in summary, I am saying there are pets in this world whose life I would consider less than people because of the horrendous deeds and actions those pets have committed.
  7. Sounds good. Will check this out.
  8. Ask this guy He skipped leg day.
  9. I'd have to agree that the writers probably don't know and will have to wait until who's confirmed for the next season. Otherwise, my guess is the person is the same person who gets lucille'd in the comic.
  10. Sandman was published by DC. As for political content, you'd be hard-pressed to find a much more left-leaning publication than Hellblazer. Granted, DC isn't continuing either now. Also relevant. Hellblazer, what a great comic that was. Loved the Garth Ennis run on it and you can see where he got the idea for Preacher. I was collecting both Sandman and Hellblazer at the same time when they came out. DC really pushed the envelope covering a wide range of topics in their super hero titles (domestic violence, sexual orientation, gun violence, homelessness, racism, AIDS) before the Vertigo label came out. I know Marvel did similar but to say DC was conservative back then is a bit head scratching for me. Even Hellblazer and Sandman were released in the late 80s. DC allowed writers to take their characters into so many directions. Also, good link. Explains why I like DC Comics more than Marvel. When I look at the example in the link, I'd choose Kamandi because it comes across as a more interesting story and setting which is what I prefer.
  11. ^ Confirmation bias at work.
  12. Quite easily. There's been a few over the top DC characters over many years. Lobo springs to mind.
  13. I always had a view years ago that DC was more story driven and Marvel as artwork driven, or at least known for those qualities that stood out for me when I was in a comic shop. Generally, if I wanted a story (eg. Vertigo) I'd read a DC Comic, if I wanted flashy artwork it was Marvel. Now, I think they're pretty much the same and as KP said, it comes down to the bias of the reader or writer.
  14. A number of governments and organisations have already done this. I'm wondering why this is news. I don't understand why the FBI went public. If anything, I find it funny that the FBI asked for Apple's help when at least one US government department already had the means to do this. Why they went to Apple baffles me.
  15. Episode 4 and 7 shot comparison https://vimeo.com/160263943
  16. It was posted in the funny things thread. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/83235-the-funny-things-thread/?p=1786710
  17. Hiker gets tired, calls in chopper. An "unfit" hiker who scaled a mountain near the NSW-Queensland border had to be airlifted from the summit after becoming too tired to walk down. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/unfit-hiker-rescued-from-mount-warning-20160329-gnsvot.html
  18. It goes by the moon.
  19. I'd have to agree with GD. I'm similar with traveling around the world, happy with what I have and accomplished, financially secure and don't have to worry about money, been with my partner for the last 8 years and I've lived a fulfilling life up to this point imo. I'd have an easy last day.
  20. Colony. Quite good but has a lot of questions to be answered. I hope the writers know where this is headed because it comes across as making it up as they go along.
  21. Yes, my immediate reaction was where is the actor Alan Ritchson who played Aquaman from Smallville. But I do appreciate the effort put into it.
  22. Nice cop out. Why doesn't that surprise me.
  23. What was the 10% that was right?
