I know how that is, we got an alcoholic PTSD retired army dude that loves to get drunk and get in fights with the crackhoes he brings home
Really...that's where I live.
It ain't the same. It's being gentrified, lotta white folk moving a lot of developers buying up land.
Kill Moves no!!!!!!
White flight had everyone leaving, but now that the city has flavor and a culture they want to come back.
I miss the grim dirty shit covered NYC of the 80s, but now I bet the whole city smells like Pumpkin spice
Just visited Harlem over the summer and the same damn thing is happening over there. Only a matter of time until I start seeing Froyo shops in south Bronx.
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
man I would give anything to experience the sleaze of NY from the 70's and 80's.
It looked magical in it's ratchetness.
watch a movie set during then like TMNT, and watch one set in modern nyc. They don't eve look like they are on the same planet.

London got hit hard by that too. Bare white people living in hackney and brixton. And when I went back to croydon last month it's changing there too

lol..sounds pleasant.
I actually read a book that discussed how they slowly transformed NY in the late 80s/90s using the "broken window" theory. Basically having cops/city workers go into neighborhoods and public places and cleaning up graffiti, broken windows, etc... which would make people "feel" like NY was safer/nicer than it was and the locals were less likely to act up since they would feel like they were in a "nice" neighborhood. Sounds nice until you learn this was the motivation for stuff like Stop and Frisk.
Yeah that is my problem with it, public works start giving a shit when they smell money. When they should be doing it anyway.
It's like when your mom tells to straighten up cause company is coming over but you just swept shit under your bed and spread a comforter over your bed real nice.
Yup. If gentrification wasn't about the aesthetics of the city but instead about the lower income people of the city we would be having a very different conversation. If you can simply hide the issue under the rug by containing the poors using the broken windows and stop n frisk away from the parts of the city where the hip new coffee shops are then I guess it's something no one has to think about.
Good analogy.

Fuck dude, don't remind me of Transformers 4. Got dragged their by the fam on 4th of July, it was only movie I've ever seen that made my eyes physically hurt.
Someone at Paramount thought to themselves, "Y'know what would get those big bucks? A near 3-hour Transformers movie!"

That was... disturbing, to say the least. Dunno who thought anything about that character/relationship was a good idea.
That whole scene was so unnecessary, of all the plot points that needed farther explanation they choose that one.

You just watching this movie everyday now? I coulda sworn you said you were watching it last week..stop abusing yourself.
Just saw that scene, dude is killing it.
I don't mind product placement. But that beats pill commercial was too much
started it the other day but Netflix was acting up. That and I like to watch movies in chunks.

Ah. Got it.
That's the only Transformers film that I can never justify watching more than once. I'm not saying the others are good, I'm saying that I can find a reason to watch them. But that one...naw, never again.
Between that relationship and the 30 seconds of Dinobots and the baffling behavior of the humans and Katara from The Last Airbender movie, and Optimus Prime just straight up lifting off into space

Ha! Made the thread and all.
And then Optimus' reaction
"Awwww, Jazz..."
Bumblebee has only had an actual voice in Transformers 1 and the ride (before it breaks again)

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I just spent 53 hours looking at Bingbing lee.
Seriously why is this transformer movie so long? How did folks watch it in theaters. You come home and your house been repossessed because you been gone for an eon.
Always expect to leave hungry in your threads because of all the food porn man.
This is a different kind of hunger still.
Someone tell Numb that his new music video sucks, I don't have the heart
Make sure to close your doors and windows then hide the keys before you do acid kids.

Good grief..
Artists use drugs all the time to spur creativity.
Science simply hasn't advanced far enough to see the truth in that vid. Years from now people will understand and they'll be sorry.

I've been trying to spin my portfolio like this for years.
You now owe me 23 seconds
Many have.
Just make sure to be known for something weird on the side like unique clothing or make-up. No chains tho they are everywhere.
Shame.
I was about to welcome you personally to the neo power generation.
The dawn was close.
