Pretty ironic if you ask me.

I think Bojack Horseman is the epiphany of adult shows. It tackles actual things you’d face as an adult and it goes into places that are way harsher than just violence and sex and vulgarity. Hell, it turns vulgarity into something important for a overall plot and symbolism. Bojack Horseman actually feels more adult than those “adult” shows and I will always hold it high up as basically a masterpiece.

To all this I would like to add, the attention to details that people made to make jokes, such as PB “posters” for example.

The most mature thing I’ve seen in a movie all year was puss in Boots having a shockingly realistic panic attack after a near death experience and being silently comforted by his dog friend.

If the Mario movie is any good it’ll only be because Miyamoto was standing in illuminations storyboard room with a loaded Revolver.

I had no idea this was on bluray.

Starting up Bleach again, and for whatever reason, episodes 168-189 have been cropped to 4:3 on Hulu.

Great…

Interesting how bloodthirsty and sadistic Demonic Forces see Treason as arguably the worst thing in existence.

@CaptainXtra
guess its murderous bros before hoes for them.

You know what’s a neat type of monster/creature/entity?

A glass cannon.

You can swap between being mere prey or a credible threat many times when facing it.

One that’s not totally invincible to an everyday average Joe such as Xenomorph or Terminator nor would it be relatively simple to dispatch such as a single mindless shambling zombie.

Somewhere in the middle, it could wreck you easily if you’re being an idiot but you can defend yourself with the same ease if you know what you’re doing when facing it.

A balanced foe if you will.

This meme is too real. 😭

Meanwhile, Pagan media is still sticking to our usual themes.

Bones, herbs, naked dancing, fire, drinking, more fire, more drinking.

Jurassic Park Analog Horror takes the books to heart by a shit-load.

Christian movies then: Treated like actual movies, millions of dollars put behind it and staring the best actors of the time.

Christian movies today: direct to dvd crap, features washed up right-wing actors from the 80s-90s, made with the budget of someone’s lunch money

Here’s a Hindi movie about the deity Hanuman.

That’s what happens when one has a persecution complex.

People in the movies and on TV: “I’ll have a beer.” Barkeep gets them exactly the kind of beer they want without asking them what kind of beer.

People in real life: “I’ll have a beer.” Barkeep: “OK, what kind of beer?”

Unless you’re a reg.

I used to go to this bar/restaurant up in Arlington basically every other night.

Before I even got to the bar there was a whiskey old fashioned with extra bitters and a plate of fried calamari waiting for me.

No local restaurants here in El Paso seem to recognize me or my family despite us being regulars for decades at this point.

What jerks.

I usually order the special.

Convenience store people always notice I buy one drink every day and try to talk me into saving money or a trip by buying more.

I buy less because after I’m buzzed I want more but I’m too lazy to go back. If I buy more I drink more.
