You are factually incorrect. It's literally a passage from the bible.

He would. He would absolutely do it.

It's a real thing, and I love it.

Precisely.

Generous of you to assume they'd redirect that money to anyone else but themselves and their cronies.

Season 1 was deep? In what way?

I watched it straight through when I was working from home and had nothing else to do for a few days. I watched it again just last month thinking maybe I missed something like first time.

I don't think I did.

It was just as plodding and poorly written the second time around. Not only did I not care about any of the characters or their struggles, I actively disliked almost all of them by the end. They were an assortment of shitty television cliches acting out the most boring and uneventful alien invasion imaginable.

I don't doubt that there's probably a purpose to some of the more perplexing bits from last season, but I wasn't pulled into last season enough to care.

All that said, I'm probably going to watch it anyway.

Thank you for letting us all know how little you care.

Eh, let's be honest. You're giving him too much credit. He wasn't allowed to start a war because the smarter people in the room wouldn't let him. That's still not saying that much since his cabinet was comprised of sycophants and yes men... but even the dumbest of them were still had the presence of mind to distract him with some coloring books or something when he started talking about international policy

I'll never forget the day when the movie theater I used to work at got a brand new Soul Calibur arcade cabinet. Me and my coworkers put more money into that game than the customers ever did.

Voldo was the shit.

My friends and I went to see The Thin Red Line in the theater on opening night. It was literally a sold out showing. We ended up having to sit in the second row.

After the first 40 minutes or so we noticed a few groups of people walking out. 20 minutes later a few more groups left. It became a slow trickle of people just getting up and leaving.

When the movie ended and the credits began I turned around to look at who was left. There was literally just one other guy sitting a few rows behind us.

I get it. It came out on the heels of Saving Private Ryan, it was marketed as a similar style "war movie", it had a laundry list of big names who were only onscreen for a few minutes... all those people ended up watching a deep, languid reflection on life, love and the very nature of humanity. So yeah, not a typical formula for box office dynamite.

I understand why so many people would not be able to sit through the entire run time, but it's honestly their loss. I loved the movie, and the shock of turning around to see an empty auditorium made the experience even more memorable.

It's consistently mentioned for both of those aspects, actually. Like, google pretty much any review of the movie and you're going to see one or both of those things mentioned with almost absolute certainty.

It took me a few tries to get through the first episode, but once it clicked I was hooked. The flowery vulgarity is such a great style of writing. It's since become one of my favorite shows.

About a year or two ago, through a weird six degrees type situation, I got a surprise phone call from Leon Rippy, the actor who played Tom Nuttal. He spent hours chatting with me that night and over the few days that followed. He was so amazingly friendly and full of great stories about Deadwood and all the other shows and movies he's worked on.

He didn't really declare himself as anything during that portion of his story though. He explained how certain misperceptions and misunderstandings led to things getting out of control.

Yeah, he really Rowlinged himself. Shame.

What you just said, literally, is the textbook definition of a false equivalence fallacy.

False equivalence is a common result when an anecdotal similarity is pointed out as equal, but the claim of equivalence does not bear scrutiny because the similarity is based on oversimplification or ignorance of additional factors.

"If everything and everyone is portrayed negatively, there's a leveling effect that opens the door to charlatans."

But that's all irrelevant anyways since you're basically just regurgitating DARE propaganda that has little basis in fact.

The fact is that drugs won't cause a normally reasonable person to suddenly go on a murderous rampage. There are people who have done terrible things under the influence of drugs, but there were always aggravating circumstances. Meanwhile there are millions of recreational drug users who go about their lives every day as productive members of society. You almost definitely know some personally.

I'm not the person you've been responding to, but you have been posting nothing but your opinions this entire time. You're making sweeping statements based on nothing but your own misguided thoughts.
