  • Ken M is meme. Thusly, anything Ken M says is also meme.

  • Because they're dumb. Going through boot camp, you constantly heard "Don't get married." What do dudes do? Get married to the first girl they meet when they arrive at their duty station (after they buy a truck obviously). They then deploy, workup is three months, home for a few, then seven months in country. And meanwhile your wife is at home, you've known her for a cup of coffee, and she's like "Shit, I don't know how to be alone."

  • I'm tired, but I'm not sure I truly loved my kids until they started taking, and now I love them more every day, it's disgusting. I value the times we sit down and talk seriously, I love to know what their young minds find important.

  • I thought the Batman was meh, but I reckoned that was partly because I'm not into comics and their storytelling. I couldn't get into those Sin City movies mainly for that. And I enjoyed Chinatown, it's not a noir knock. Or maybe it is, I dunno.

    I enjoyed Pattinson in Good Time and The Lighthouse. I think he did with the role what could be done. I also think it's difficult to come out from under a series like Twilight.

  • It starts off strong but I think the whole premise kinda comes together as the movie goes along, and it puts the vulgarity of the beginning in perspective.

  • Twin Peaks Season 3 was chaos. That episode was perfect for it. My wife and I did all three seasons in a row a couple or few years back, and the 20-something year gap gave David Lynch a whole lot of time to make the show bananas. The first two seasons had their oddity. Season three was on another planet.

  • Quentin Dupieux is a genius, IMO, musically and behind the lens. His works tend to be an acquired taste for sure, but I'm into it.

  • The whole scene with Julianne Moore there is so quotable. I say "He fixes the cable?" to just about anything remotely resembling "You can imagine what happens next."

  • Yeah, I remember laughing out loud in the theater many, many times. But I was a 19-year-old dude in 2006, and was 20 when Superbad came out, and so that brand of humor hit me square in the funny bone.

    That being said, comedy is very subjective, I'll agree, but to call Borat unfunny is objectively wrong.

  • Came to mention Unbreakable, and I can stand behind your list in general. Unbreakable came around right before or contemporaneous with the uprising of comic book movies, with Spiderman a la Tobey and X-Men with Tiny Jackman, versus the Huge Jackedman we know today. And this includes everything that came after them.

    Unbreakable was a nice homage to the whole genre while being it's own original story. And it came out at a time that I loved Bruce Willis (currently have a 14 year old cat named after him) and Shymalan had just wowed us, so it all just landed perfectly.

    Unrelated to the thread here, but Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs was a solid, fun three-film run.

  • Yeah, Jersey is nicely blued, but beholden to big pharma, and I think messing with healthcare hits too close to home. Governor race is next year though and so hopefully this issue stays hot.

  • The Dong of Rudolph.

  • I threw my cast iron away about a year ago. Just couldn't get the hang of it, probably a me problem. Moved to a stainless steel, and my goodness, the crust I get on meats is unparalleled.

  • What if you're making the missiles more accurate?

  • Yeah, I truly cannot understand how people really get into things. I don't play poker with my friends because after an hour I'd rather do something else. I have never finished a video game. My interest in things always just seems to fizzle out. I do a bunch of stuff well enough, but I'm not even sure I want to do them.

  • I too am a master of none.

  • Only thing I'll disagree with is they're not ripping off the rich, because it doesn't matter to the rich. They're killing the middle class though, but that is the way it's been and the way it will continue to be. You will either be rich (haha, jk) or poor, and that's the end game.
