I also think there’s something to be said about the mere inclusion of a queef joke as something resembling progress in how we deal with certain feminine taboos.
Vaginal fart jokes are empowering ;^)
Yeah, I’m not sure a queef joke is really a victory for feminism…
Yeah, we’ll see.
*head in hands sobbing*
There’s definitely an element of confirmation bias. But when all the trailers come out looking just atrocious, and then reviews from people I generally agree with on movies come out saying that it’s just as bad as the trailers, I feel pretty justified in thinking I was right. I mean, there’s “updating the humor” and then there’s replacing humor with “queef” jokes. If that’s humor for younger generations, then I guess I’m older than I thought.
In either case, I’ll abstain from commenting further until I’ve actually seen it. I do feel bad every time I talk shit about something I haven’t experienced.
Jesus. Skimmed through some of that and it was some of the most obnoxious “film criticism” I’ve ever seen. I hope people don’t trust stuff like this to determine whether or not a film is good.
Shrug.
I’ll post a full review once I actually see it (as soon as I don’t have to pay much for it), but every negative review I’ve seen of it confirms everything I’ve felt about it since seeing the first trailer.
Hands can be pretty dangerous, you can do all kinds of horrible things with them.
Hands can be registered as weapons, so technically we’re all walking around carrying two unlicensed weapons at all times.
What! I love Rich Evans!
We should have voted in TVS FRINK COMPUTER because Off Topic is absolute shit these days.
The new Ghostbusters is the anime of recent films.
That’s going a little far.
It’s not.
So you caved and saw it?
I recommended you just wait for home video, because I know not everyone has the same awesome opinions about films that I do.
Nah, I’m waiting. Just a lot of my YouTube channels are doing reviews of it lately and the more I hear about it, the worse it sounds.
I wonder what Bingo would have to say about this.
It’s not.
Also: I’d like to bitch about how ywhx was talking about using the title feature for images in order to make them accessible for people with screen readers, but the last few images I’ve seen from him, he’s just made the title a word he’s using to describe the image, which is just as useless for people with screenreaders as having no title. You’re supposed to describe the image.
“This has been stupid.”
Sorry everyone.
Notice something?

I feel like the guy two heads behind Mr. Ryan isn’t fully white.
Other than that, the photo is too low resolution to really judge. Sometimes Asians and Hispanics have lighter skintones.
I mean obviously it’s a majority white group, and I’m not defending Paul Ryan, but come on.
JEDIT: In fact, I see what looks to be one black young woman near the back there.
JEDIT2: Up to two black women.
This is getting stupid.

I fell in a shower once and didn’t hurt myself at all, so that can come off the list.
Isn’t the only reason people didn’t want a lightsaber was because he called it a Jedi weapon in Rotj.
No, because everyone is fine with Vader having one. As everyone said a lightsaber should be seen as a child’s weapon for the Dark Side of The Force would be a far more potent weapon to a Force Sensitive of his caliber.
Exactly. The only reason Vader even has a lightsaber is because he once was a Jedi. Not true with Palpatine.
Yes, Vader was a Jedi, so his having a lightsaber makes sense. Palpatine practically spits out the word when taunting Luke, so it makes it clear to me that he has disdain for the weapon.
Normal and suffering is pretty much how life is, so I’m fine with that.
Weren’t they shown on that wall carving behind Thrawn in the clip though?
Dave Filoni said he just threw those ysalamiri-looking sculptures in there as a nod to them, but that he and George was talking about it and they decided they were kinda dumb and shouldn’t exist.
I feel like living long while everyone you care about dies around you over and over would be a bit depressing.
Palps should have just lightninged. He doesn’t need any weapons apart from the Force.
Also, apparently “lightninged” is a word according to Firefox spellcheck.
Haha! Perfect.
At least it was just the hat!
I’ve made several posts about it before, so just go back and read those.
You just made a non answer. I just checked all your posts in the first five pages of this thread and have not found what I’m looking for. So, I ask again: Why do you think that all anime has systemic problems inherit in the medium that make universally all of it objectively bad?
I’ve I don’t know if they were all in this thread, but I have definitely addressed it before.
