Stupid stuff that comes to mind that we want to post

Someone watching this cartoon on Netflix it’s about a family of explorers in a submarine. Having adventures underwater and after a season and a half of mythological creatures aren’t real debunking mermaid sirens ghosts
 
They find a Minotaur, underwear.

Perfect timing

STUPID

It’s not surprising that the same people who attack the prequels are always unversed in real film or anything artistic, and that the people who praise the prequels (Zizek, Paglia, Brody, etc) are always literate, educated, and versed in real film.

The fact that everyone points to Plinkett as the authority on why the prequels are bad speaks volumes. Mike Stoklasa is one of the least artistic people on the planet - he can’t process movies outside of the conventions of Hollywood films, his approach to narrative is tempered with the same surface-level requisites listed on tvtropes.
 
Any complaint that people have about the prequels illustrates a weak grasp on film. How many art films would they claim has ‘too much sitting and talking’? They would watch the end of Breaking the Waves and whine about dated CGI. Their sensibilities for ‘good dialogue’ in what is intentionally pulp comes from bad pulp, ie, the original Star Wars, the only pulp they’ve ever seen. They would similarly view any homage-driven art film and miss the entire point.
 
Lucas’ only mistake in the prequels was doing something daring, original, artistic and literate, not realizing that the manchildren conditioned by the original SW trilogy to loathe anything cerebral would lash out against his cinematic risks.

There’s also the fact that the Plinkett reviews weren’t supposed to be taken seriously.

@Broken Adam  
I’ve watched the prequels. They aren’t good. Boring and wooden are great words to describe them, though there’s a Star Wars thread for this discussion.

You know, the funny thing is, George Carlin actually understood HOW to do crossing the line humor and make it funny, as opposed to a lot of modern “comedians” who are basically “Slurs! Laugh!”

I would literally give all that money to watch that movie.
 

 
Okay so on a side note, more spooky stuff happened last night, so I was awake until exactly 2:14 am. I was in the shower and I heard my roommates movine around, so I have a shit ton of cookies that I made so I got my clothes on and went out and both my roommates were asleep, nobody touched my cookies, but when I looked in my drawer for my cigarettes, they were gone, I had just bought them and I was really confused so I angrily woke my roommates up to ask who the hell took my cigs and they responded with I don’t fucking know and got mad at me for waking them up. So I turned off the lights again and looked at my locker. It was still locked with a padlock from yesterday, I was packing for Christmas vacation a few days again and locked my stuff up, I have the key in my pocket at all times, never anytime else. I unlocked my locker and on top of my duffel bag, there were my cigarettes just sitting there.
 
How the hell did they get there? I know for a fact I didn’t put them there. What the fuck?
 
This place just gets creepier the longer I stay here…

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
That’s really cool!

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Just don’t bring them on planes, they can actually explode from the pressure

According to a study, women are actually happier with less attractive men.

@WinterFlower154  
So if I ever get married, I’d have a very happy wife.

@WinterFlower154  
If that’s not an example of “looks don’t matter” idk what is.

@Meanlucario  
Yes. It makes a bit of sense. Looks mean a lot, but if a person can’t see both the good and bad then they dont know you on a personal level. Coexisting with another person is a lot of work. Being with someone just because they look good doesnt satisfy you on a deep and personal level.

@WinterFlower154  
How do they measure less attractive, really?

@WyrmSpawN  
I dont know. I would think they would mean things that the ideal male has, like six feet of height, muscles, very masculine and manly.
 
I mean, who honestly wants that? I’ll tell you who, little girls that are looking for there perfect Ken doll. It’s so boring to want a man that looks like a supermodel. Every man is perfect the way they are, you just have to find someone that appreciates it. :)

@WinterFlower154  
Maybe you shouldn’t demonise men who take good care of themselves as Ken Dolls?
