Fascinating. Please elaborate. Yo I can't tell if this post was sarcastic or not so I guess I'll elaborate anyway. M.I.A's music is basically a textbook example of recuperation. It's nominally counter-cultural art that is, in reality, nothing more than a harmless participant in the very system--Western Capitalism--it's supposedly working against. You can't really claim to be trying to tear down the apparatuses of global capitalism when you're releasing records on Interscope and selling your music for commercial usage. It's "revolution" as mass market fashion statement, commoditized and sapped of anything truly rebellious or dangerous. Furthermore, Good argument.

I think lots of people didn't like Juno. Was that released in 2007? Yeah, that was my most hated movie of 2007. Then this year it's Indiana Jones.

Don't get your hopes up though, this is kind of a big deal. I'd suppose that Obama would want a New Frontier kind of cabinet, and I doubt that he'd kick it off with an adulterer.

John Edwards admitted to an affair today. So there goes anyone's veep hopes.

Amen to that.

Who gives a shit. You haven't seen those videos about the aborted fetuses right? You didn't see that article about the sinking of the Lusitania right? Those ads are meant to leave reason out and flood your senses. Anything that involves blood or ugly images gets to your mind way faster than reason and logic.

At times like these? At times when a man is brutally beheaded on a bus by a clearly mentally unstable nut wielding a knife? To take advantage of such a horrendous situation like this one is "their job"? These people are first and foremost human beings, and a rather deplorable lack of humility in the name of pushing their agenda leaves me almost in disbelief.

Of course not, but I'd say that your average Apatow movie is miles above your average Hollywood comedy.

I could take Apatow movies all day long. The thing that I love about Apatow movies is that the dialogue isn't restrained. We've all seen an interview with any one of those guys, and that's how they talk. Rogen himself even said, "I'm not doing anything different now than I was 5 years ago, I'm just getting paid now." The dick jokes and gratuitous swearing, it's all legit. I know that's how I talk. It's just a nice breath of fresh air. Apatow flicks are just, above all, funny fucking movies. The dude's produced several dozen movies by this point, and I can only see a couple that I think are mediocre. I mean, fuck, Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Pineapple Express, Freaks & Geeks... I even liked Kicking & Screaming. Besides, would you rather have several Apatow joints or several black-cop-and-white-cop-get-together-to-solve-a-hilarious-murder-case kinds of comedies?

Czech, a move like that definitely draws some parallels to the Westboros. Picketing someone's funeral to get their message across and using someone's recent decapitation to tell people that it's just like animal slaughter is both disrespectful and about as opportunistically shallow as they get. Given that I've never heard any other cases like this from PETA, I'm not going to draw the absolute comparison here, but I think we'll all agree that it was a very low blow.
-
Yeah, fuck animals. If it's between us and them, we're the ones with the fucking society.
-
Great movie. Funny as shit, Apatow-style dialogue, awesome actors, damn good action, definitely a great one. I laughed harder in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I enjoyed this one more.

Okay, so I guess the question becomes how many children could you fight at once? I'd say probably 7. Unless they immobilized my legs. Children are weak and a swift kick with my legs would knock a couple of them out.

Nah, look, 2010 is just when they have the party.

They're not chasing the American dream. I'm surprised that you'd say that. Very surprised. They're industrializing. That's entirely different.

Jump off a building. If you die, then you're pretty weak.

What's your history of/current exercise? I used to be into baseball and basketball a lot, but never really did a serious sport until I took up kayaking. Worked on my abs a lot. Now I just ride my bike. I've always had strong legs though. Even before riding, I could leg press up to about 350.

Oh God, was that Pamela Anderson. Wow. I didn't know it got that bad.

In one of the Halloween movies, didn't Mike Meyers like break someone on a tree? Maybe they were in a tent. I want a youtube clip of that.

RE: M.I.A., that song was like the party theme to hipster white girls in my senior year. I've grown to hate that song, but in a good way. And I'll have to agree with Chilly's sentiments there. He's spot on.

Comments which don't warrant a thread.

The first thing that guy says is "I'm offended by Mayfield." Like, the guy? He's offended by the presence of a white guy? Hey, let's get all angry and shit and force some white guilt. That'll make it all better. -
Innocent by insanity isn't the end of the story, keep in mind. If someone commits a crime and are found innocent by reason of insanity, it is likely that they spend most or the rest of their lives under heavy psychiatric watch.

Marvin, did you not get that reference?

Well Van Nuys is about 350 miles away from San Francisco, and it is Van Nuys.

I'd be in on that.
