Why is him becoming the super villain incumbent on people knowing who he is or what he has done? There are plenty of supervillains in comic books that are anonymous people. FrozenBananas posted...
Which is never explained why. Why does he, as the person who is easily killed by a feather, want the person who is basically impossible to kill to know who he is, specifically that he is his enemy? And if this is all he cared about, why let Dunn know his weakness is water? It's just stupid. FrozenBananas posted...
Why could "only this" happen? Just because the screenwriter says this is the only way it can happen? It seems like it could happen several different ways, including ways that make the character of Mr. Glass care about self-preservation in the slightest of ways. I mean he is supposed to be a super genius right?FrozenBananas posted... Also, it's cinematic. It's also made for us, as viewers. It's a therapeutic experience. This is also just words that lack any meaning. |
Topic | Anyone into board games? |
wah_wah_wah 01/16/18 10:24:32 PM #49 | ss4parrothair posted... SushiSquid posted...I very much like board games. I'm trying to slowly corrupt my wife with nerdiness using them. We just finished Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 with our friends, and I can't recommend that highly enough. Other favorites of ours are Lords of Waterdeep, 7 Wonders, Covert, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle, and DC Deck Building Game. I'll never get the appeal of legacy games. They're like a job. You got to sit down and schedule a time to play, getting everyone on board. My attempt at doing Risk Legacy totally failed. It was played four times and two of the players just didn't like it... so now I have this board game that is partially completed that I can't get anyone else to play. |
Topic | Anyone into board games? |
wah_wah_wah 01/16/18 10:06:50 PM #44 | I got into it about two years go now. Started as me liking thematic games, but now my favorites tend to be middle to middle-heavy Eurogames. But I've been trying to get into Twilight Struggle to expand my knowledge of wargames but I don't think I have the time to devote to it. Had fun playing it yesterday with a friend (though I lost, badly). It also doesn't help that my local game scene really sucks. They play every week down there but they are not very welcoming of newcomers. I recently stopped going because there is only one or two people that get their games played. |

Topic | Of the films removed from the AFI Top 100, which ones most deserved to stay? |
wah_wah_wah 12/22/17 4:59:26 PM #1 | Here they are Doctor Zhivago (1965) The Birth of a Nation (1915) From Here to Eternity (1953) Amadeus (1984) All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) The Third Man (1949) Fantasia (1940) Rebel Without a Cause (1955) Stagecoach (1939) Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) The Manchurian Candidate (1962) An American in Paris (1951) Wuthering Heights (1939) Dances with Wolves (1990) Giant (1956) Fargo (1996) Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) Frankenstein (1931) Patton (1970) The Jazz Singer (1927) My Fair Lady (1964) A Place in the Sun (1951) Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) I agree with nearly all of these removals (that I've seen). I'd have to go with Fargo. Maybe it got removed in response to its placement a little too early, but it is basically flawless as a film and the best movie the Coen Brothers ever made. |

Topic | If SJWs got to replace due process with "listen and believe"... |
wah_wah_wah 12/18/17 6:18:23 PM #34 | No here's why it doesn't make sense - if a woman is caught lying about how she was raped, that is a serious danger to her in the future. It opens her up to never being trusted about rape ever again. And that is dangerous as fuck for her going forward. That's why whenever a woman puts her real name publicly to those accusations, I believe it. Because women don't take a risk of never being believed about rape ever again to see some politician lose an election. That makes absolutely no sense. |
Topic | If SJWs got to replace due process with "listen and believe"... |
wah_wah_wah 12/18/17 5:57:05 PM #30 | They weren't well in the first place. I mean I've been accused of several things that were not true, some horrible things, and my reputation outlived my accusers. That's a fact of life. I think in the past it was always the woman that had to jump through hoops and do everything possible to prove she was not an evil bitch trying to take down the man. Those days are thankfully over. It doesn't make much if any sense for a woman to lie about being raped because it puts her in danger. |

wah_wah_wah 12/18/17 4:55:07 PM #26 | mooreandrew58 posted... all it takes is someone to lie. and enough people to believe them. best friend had to battle accusations of being a woman abuser for years despite his gf could never produce a bruise or anything to back up her claims. and the worst part was they didn't even live together so if it was the case why didn't she kick him to the curb. its not like he payed her bills or anything. dumbest thing he did was not dump her immediately when she started that s***. Is that worse than a woman who has to deal with an abusive guy because nobody will believe her story? That can very well get her killed. |

Which is something women have always known, but I guess men think they were above having to keep to standards. I'm just saying, the idea that just because you're not charged with a crime, that means we have to think you're innocent, is pretty stupid. The legal system is not a perfect decider of what really happened. What constitutes reasonable doubt varies between people, particularly a jury that has to decide whether a person goes to jail for a long time and an everyday individual making the decision not to be involved with a person professionally. I realize people do get falsely accused of horrible things all the time, and that I may be in danger too. But I'm not too threatened by it because I have a generally good reputation built upon my actions. I have never propositioned someone at the workplace. I've never grabbed a pussy. In short I'm not an idiot. |
Topic | Close Encounters of the Third Kind... your thoughts (spoilers) |
wah_wah_wah 12/18/17 6:06:44 AM #3 | It's got too many flaws for me to consider it a great movie. It's a good movie, worth watching. But like I said, Dreyfuss is really annoying in it (he acts with his mouth open almost the entire movie). There's too much screen time devoted to reiterating the plot rather than just moving forward. None of the characters outside of Dreyfuss come off as alive or interesting. |
Topic | Close Encounters of the Third Kind... your thoughts (spoilers) |
wah_wah_wah 12/18/17 5:45:47 AM #1 | My thoughts: I didn't hate it, but after finally seeing it I think it is pretty overrated. Biggest problems being it had an good hour of padding, the over-the-top dopey performance from Richard Dreyfuss and that it ends with nothing really happening. I liked that the story was a peaceful alien encounter story, which you have to respect especially in an era that was obsessed with disaster movies. But it ended right when it was starting to pick up steam. If they needed to end it for length, well they didn't have to show so many scenes of Dreyfuss and related characters obsessing over their Devils Peak visions. Or have a French character that existed only to slow the momentum of the movie down by having the audience wait for the translation from another character, or for his dramatic "speaking in English" moments. Again I didn't hate it, it is an interesting movie in that its probably the one out of all of Spielberg's big budget Hollywood movies that has the most of his talents baked into it, but I can definitely see why Star Wars appealed to more people that year. |

wah_wah_wah 12/07/17 6:56:19 PM #63 | There is rarely a good reason for suicide. What I mean by rarely - you're Hitler and it's 1945 and you've killed a million Russians and the ones you can't kill are a block away closing in. You're not going to have a dick let alone a fair trial, gonna have to take the cyanide express. But bullying on Twitter... saying that caused a suicide, no doubt it hurts and its unacceptable in a way, but suicide is not a response that someone who is all together in the first place would make. |

Telling them the truth about all the long term health consequences should be enough and of course I would teach them the importance of a healthly life style. Fruits is basically the only place where it is good to get sugar. Artificial sugars are not processed by the body the same as regular fruits, which have fiber and other nutrients in them. Something like a soda, there's really no way that is ever good. |

Maybe during the last couple years of the New Deal era could you ever describe the party as liberal. Otherwise it has always been one half of the only party that exists in this country, the business party. It is the half that very occasionally gives in to public demands but do not mistake that as being liberal. A Democrat will only do that if compelled to by force, not willingly. I don't think in most countries political systems are completely run by the business class. Just the United States. In other countries (particularly in Europe or South America) there are liberal parties. But our system is gladiatorial and awards zero power for anything but first place. That basically excludes everyone but two hyper competitive and, therefore, easily bought parties from being able to survive. |

Topic | Did you consider yourself a seinfeld fan? |
wah_wah_wah 11/08/17 7:12:55 AM #12 | Probably the last great "classic" TV sitcom when you think about it. Seinfeld's greatness is in its influence on all other television shows. There really is a pre-Seinfeld and post-Seinfeld way of looking at TV, and its influence can still be seen today in comedy shows that have mostly unlikable characters, storylines that tie A and B plots together, comedy grounded in real life situations and not sitcom tropes. Even if you don't like Seinfeld, you probably like a show that takes inspiration from what it did to television. |
