KT some fuckboys, if they wanted to they could slide some English subtitles in and make it digital only.,

If you don't want the headache just say so, don't create bullshit.

 

[TangerineCloud]

I don't live that life but I always wonder if those folks ahve to give so much of themselves and be "on" so often that when they get private moments they guard them like assholes.

Oh, I'm sure that's exactly what happens. I'd also like to think that I'd be "one of the cool ones", but realistically, should would probably get old after a few months. And with ScarJo, Evans, and the rest being as big as they are, I can't blame them for not wanting fuck with us in the 90+ degree heat.

Speaking of Kool Aid being problematic, I'm watching a piece on Jonestown during the show "The Seventies" on CNN. Every time I revisit the events there it boggles my mind how it all went down. The rapes, the murders. The physical and mental abuse and tortures. Almost a thousand people of all ages offed themselves and each other.
You have to ask how the fuck did one man manage to rally and convince so many to follow him and then off themselves after all of the abuse he put them through. Then I flip a few channels and get a stark reminder of people working en mass against their own interest. We've got an entire populous flirting with disaster by championing another mad man, and an ever growing list of problematic mad men wanna be's.
Shit doesn't ever change. There's always an open seat ready and waiting for the next fucker that people are eager to appoint and lead them directly into tragedy.

What's the best way to watch the first star wars trilogy before the upcoming movie releases?

Just realizing I need to watch them again. Without being around a bunch of losers.

Man, the diversity argument is so tiring because the against side can't pick a coherent argument. One time, it's an artist's vision and should be untouchable and free from critique. Another, it's all a business and you can't blame the studio for wanting the lowest common denominator. And when diversity does happen it's, "James Bond has always been white" "Damn racebending" "Lazy genderbending" blah blah blah. I could fill a book with all the excuses I've seen for not diversifying.

Yeah there's a vast number of people looking to be led and led down the "right path". People who want to be the special ones, the believers separated from the chaff. They'll deny reality as it happens right in front of them so that their bubble of what's true and false remains intact.

make them respond emotionally instead of rationally and they'll let the smiling man lead them where ever.

There's a male porn actor who dictates that all of his scenes have this ongoing dark souls style storyline underneath them.

I'm not joking.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Yeah but they aren't even gonna admit that. It's much easier to lie about their publishing hurdles and scapegoat the audience that they'll never have than to admit that they produce a shit product that most people won't buy.

Would we be talking about them? Nope. Weren't interested in the game either way. But they did however cement their name on the list of clowns never to be taken seriously.
That counts as an L regardless of any meager short term gains they might see from all this.

Haven't paid much attention to X multiplayer but that sounds sick.
Didn't know why the scaled you down since boosting lower lvl players than needed some help is awesome but then saw the nemesis stuff. Although i find it hard to believe that a bunch o random people on Wii U can be that organized unless you had had your own crew or at the higher lvls where people know what the hell is going on.
Good thing i cracked and bought the thing. Been a minute since playing Wii U.

Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy - I'm half Khaleeji Arab, a quarter Ethiopian and a quarter turkish. I've been told I can pass anywhere from italian to black, but I usually identify as arab even though I don't really care how people see my ethnicity.
Do you know your roots - I do, but I honestly don't follow it. Just being my own man I guess.
Favorite musical genre - If I were to be specific I'd go 80's Thrash Metal, but I enjoy a wide variety of genres with rock in general probably as my fav with hiphop as a close second.
Your profession/major/career interest - Film director
Your religious affiliation - Atheist
Hobbies - Playing guitar, retro games, watching movies and tv from any period of any quality, basketball, cooking, and wasting my time online.
KFC, Popeye's, Churches, or Bojangles? - Popeye's
Fun fact - I fixed up my own custom built car at the age of 22. Still one of my favorite things that I've ever done.

I'm not black or "full on" black or whatever. But this seems like a good community and I'd like to contribute every now and again, so I thought it's only fair to introduce myself.

We recognize that it is our responsibility to help ensure that casting decisions reflect the diversity and culture of the time periods portrayed.

Lionsgate is deeply committed to making films that reflect the diversity of our audiences. We have, can and will continue to do better.​​

It just doesn't matter when all I see is words.

They won't, and they wouldn't, and they probably never would, but to make a difference they could cancel the movie and reshoot the whole thing using different actors. It could stir the pot a bunch, and cost them a bunch of money but I wonder how much it would affect or change the industry.

Kilgrave is the GAFer that makes relationship threads, why is he even in the same conversation as Kingpin and Loki?

upset cuz he got rejected and just won't hold that L.

Kilgrave

The other villians are just comic book evil, while kilgrave made me squirm in my seat for how much everything he said mirrored the kind of crap I see rape apologists say on the internet. His attempts to justify rape, and the dialogue he uses to exert control over Jessica sounded way too real. No other villian made me quite as uncomfortable as him, especially considering how charming he was.

Ironic considering the Stoya thread.
