Zack Galifianakis voiced Joker in the Lego Batman movie.

You can stuff your taboos!

Literally my all-time favorite movie.

Superhero movies from now until the heat death of the universe have their work cut out for them trying to top the 100 Mile Dash sequence as the pinnacle film depiction of the speedster superpower.

Welcome to America, where Uncle Sam needs a GoFundMe and Lady Liberty needs an OF to make ends meet.

He left a mixed legacy thats for sure. On one hand he had a big hand in making wrestling the big thing it became, on the other hand his backstage politicking got a lot of people buried at his expense.

And in another case, the guy did a lot of charity work throughout his life, but also at the same time is a racist and supported Trump.

So like, do I say rest in peace? Rot in Hell? Thats a shame? Good riddance?
I'm just gonna walk away from this one.

Kinda where I'm at too.

I will say that I often think about how the GOP elite will react when Trump dies, and whether or not they'll try to groom a new celebrity figurehead in an attempt to maintain the enthusiasm of the cult and the interest of low-info voters. And for whatever reason, in that scenario the number-one name that always came to mind was Hulk Hogan. So I guess that particular hypothetical is of no concern anymore.

RIP. May you achieve CHIM and help remake this broken world.

Yeah, I haven't seen Chasing Amy in years but even back then it just felt...off. I guess it works from the lens of a really, really dumb guy trying and failing to understand gay culture. IIRC Jason Lee was, once again, the best part of the movie: he was painted as the bitter jealous third wheel but ended up having his head screwed on tighter than everyone else.

Probably my favorite View Askew movie overall. A big reason why I got into My Name is Earl was the chance to see Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee pal around again.

We simply do not send our best and brightest to Washington.

It's because at its core, the MAGA cult is a bunch of conspiracy theorists. And Trump used the Epstein list to get them to vote for him, saying he would use it against the Deep State.

I honestly don't know if they will fully turn, but it will at least disengage some of them. May not be a lot, but even a small amount would have consequences for him and the GOP.

This. It's about as close as we'll get to seeing the hardcore conspiracy theorist wing of MAGA have their big "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" revelation.

I headcanon that the Ed boys somehow grew up to be Mac, Charlie and Dennis from Always Sunny. I realize this makes no sense on any logistical level but at the same time I can't be talked out of it either.

That's damn tragic, RIP. I had to do a double-take with the topic title because I knew he wasn't very old.

I forgot about that but yeah he was really good in Community.

Funny thing is they make a nod to the Cosby show by having his character always wear Cosby-esque sweaters:
Jeff: "Nice sweater."
Andre: "Thanks. My dad gave it to me."

Yeah, if anything Andor and Rogue One enhanced my appreciation for ANH; when you know all the bitter work, sacrifices and unsung heroism that had to line up so that a farm boy could magically bulleye an exhaust port, it surprisingly makes it feel more earned as opposed to just a string of dumb luck on everyone's part.

I mean, it's written by someone who offers a flowery appraisal of a real problem yet gives no meaningful advice on how to actually deal with said problem, one that she admits to having a small hand in creating herself. Makes a good point here and there, but should definitely be taken with a grain of salt overall.

*Sees where this topic went*

And that's one of many reasons why I refuse to dignify Large Marge with an acronym.

Oh you poor thing.

Anyway, probably a too-late suggestion, but if you're like me and know the safe path straight from Vegas to Goodsprings like the back of your hand, you can also get an early Lever-Action shotty by pickpocketing it off of Mrs Hostetler in her home (need to pickpocket her ammo, leave+return, then pickpocket the gun).

Though like you mentioned, the Boulder City saloon is an easy jog from the Black Mountain > Vegas path as well, so that's probably the quicker way to get one regardless.

A cute guy downtown stopped me to compliment my backpack some months back and I blame myself for that conversation not progressing further

If it makes you feel better, I buy and wear nice / interesting shirts largely as a way to help me break the ice, and I rarely if ever have the confidence / wherewithal to actually follow through with getting a conversation going when it happens.

Mountains're nice.

When did hating on Coldplay become a thing?

Huh, and here I thought the joke was that Coldplay was loved mostly by women, so a guy going to see Coldplay without taking his wife was just as much grounds for divorce as the actual cheating.

But yeah, it probably is a simple as "Coldplay sucks."

Nancy Pelosi is and always has been probably the closest we'll get to a real-life Lucille Bluth: somehow equal parts shrewd mastermind and profoundly moronic.

Sure. Though I think I'll go for more of a Scary Terry delivery than a Jesse Pinkman.

Clearly someone wasn't a Venture Bros. fan back in the day.

The long wait doesn't bother me if the payoff is worth it. Stranger Things hasn't let me down yet, so I don't feel personally offended by them taking their time. On the other hand, waiting two years for the second season of House of Dragons only to have it end up being an extended trailer for s3...that one left a bitter taste in my mouth.

I don't know about greatest but one of my favorite cut scenes is from Final Fantasy X

Tidus and Company crashing the wedding to rescue Yuna

It looks a little janky today but it was absolutely stunning back in 2001-2002 and is still a great "feel good" moment besides.

Having an in-game cutscene theater was such a genius move. I rewatched that scene probably a hundred times.

Democrat: "Hey, you guys want some cheese pizza for lunch?"
Chuds: "'Cheese pizza...C.P. = Child Porn, DEMOCRATS ARE PEDOS CONFIRMED!!!"

Trump: "Hey Jeffrey, we sure share a lot of interests, wink-wink!"
Chuds: "Nah, you guys are reading too much into things here."

"You sure are a keen observer of the obvious, kupo!"

Has much of the same energy as "why are you wasting time calling Trumpers 'weird' when you should be calling them racists, sexists, bigots, and all the other insults that have washed right off their backs for years!"

The Democrat establishment really does have a terminal addiction to identifying a winning strategy and going in the opposite direction.

"Why are we going after Al Capone for tax evasion when we SHOULD be going after him for murder, racketeering, extortion, etc?!"

I honestly thought Majors did well with that scene.

Pieces of shit can still give solid performances.

Haven't seen much of anything later than, like, the Sam/Bucky show, so no idea about anything later.

I hear Quantumania was at best a mess, though.

In my case, watching Quantumania and Secret Invasion so close to one another was when the shine finally came off the apple for the MCU as a whole.

I'd say that Quantumania is at least worth a watch so you can have your own opiniom of it. Secret Invasion, though, woo doggy that was a right stinker. Not even Olivia Coleman's character could redeem it. It's bad enough that it retroactively tarnishes older, better MCU fare to a slight degree.

I actually find it quite charming that Stephen King still believes in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.

"Remember highly selective parts of your homeland's heritage."

Honestly? Nah. I never owned it and don't have the best memories playing it with friends. The series didn't come into its own until MK64, which I bought day 1, absolutely adored, and played the hell out of.

"This shouldn't hurt, but if it does, try not to scream too loudly. My ears are sensitive."

I stopped cold about a month after release. Pretty much all of my favorite exploits were altered / hamstrung, which I could deal with, but then I started getting a ridiculous amount of crashing and just said fuck it.

Not even considering returning to the game until the fix the broken Staff of Worms and the awful move-drag / decorating placement, at bare minimum.

Seeing the same arguments over and over and over again. BotW is overrated, FF6 has too many party members, literally any mention of the acronym "TLJ," the list goes on. Wouldn't be so bad if the board archived and you could just copypasta whatever you said the last time any given dead horse came around.

At least Fallout 3 vs. New Vegas and Aeris vs. Aerith have pretty much died out at this point.

"They become irrelevant to the plot" is not a complaint that has any bearing on whether or not a FF game has too many party members. Most FF games struggle with at least half of their party members losing plot relevance: 9, 8, and 4 immediately spring to mind.

If you want to complain about how, say, FF6's Blue Mage and most powerful base-stat magic user get introduced way too late in the game (forcing you to play major catch-up in teaching them spells to make them viable) because the other party members' screentime shunted those two to the ass-end of the WoB plot, that's at least relevant.

One of the last great "no, really, it's actually pretty clever and well-written" shows I watched on CN. Nice to see the series is still getting some love.

Agreed. Also I am used to drawing on paper with pencils, but I finally got a tablet I can draw on, but lets just say it is very different experience, and is going to take some getting used to.

It will take awhile to get used to, so don't get discouraged. No shame in using tools to get smooth lines while you get used to it; I used the Pen tool a lot in Photoshop whenever my hand-drawing wasn't up to snuff, and still occasionally bust it out when I need perfect small circles or really long straight lines. Modern versions of PS have a Smoothing setting on the brush that can help a lot, and I'm sure other programs have something comparable.
