The Pitters' Place

Curt Scilling has never been right, about anything.

BruceSmith78

Is it her birthday when the eggs are laid or when she hatches?

BruceSmith78

They did use her necklace to smuggle the poison (in the show, not the books), so I don't know how she didn't know what was going down, but there's a scene later where her grandmother point blank tells her she killed Joffrey and she's all shocked, like what?

BruceSmith78

Cassius Clay wrote:She was always a step ahead...and she would have lived if not for that Bernie Sanders-looking fuck.

I rewatched the series earlier this year and it seems she didn't know her grandmother poisoned Joffrey. I previously had the impression she was in on it, but maybe that was just in the books?

BruceSmith78

Have you seen the YouTube video where Batman fights Vader?

BruceSmith78

Yeah, it's hard to sympathize with someone who decides to be a monster. Like Castor said in that other thread, Batman and Joker both have tragic back stories, but the trajectories they took in life were polar opposites. Pedophiles can let their unfortunate circumstances turn them into the Joker, lik...

BruceSmith78

He killed a tyrannical ruler he was supposed to serve, but for very different reasons than Vader. I don't think that's enough to say it's "straight up Return of the Jedi," although I admit it's a similarity I've never noticed. He also had a hand chopped off, which is very Star Warsy, but t...

BruceSmith78

Honestly, I'm never surprised at the amount of hate people have for pedophiles, no matter how illogical. I'm actually encouraged by that thread, because there's more than a couple people pointing out the bullshit, although some of the people debunking the OP miss the mark a bit. Are you the throwawa...

BruceSmith78

I couldn't hear him, so I dunno what it sounded like.

BruceSmith78

I think you mistyped that, Castor, unless you're being ironic.

BruceSmith78

In that case, Lost in Translation's tone was boring, cuz that's what it made me feel.

(I'm being a troll now, I know, but for real, that shit was boring as fuck)

BruceSmith78

Well, it's not JUST a comedy. Probably its greatest triumph is that it really nails what it's like to be lost and alone (both literally and figuratively, as in both characters are having something of an existential crisis) in an alien culture. The impressionistic use of cinematography, music, and e...

BruceSmith78

Lost in Translation was supposed to be comedy but completely failed at humor. I just remember a bored Bill Murray having a boring conversation with a bored ScarJo in a bar or something, and I was like fuck this, I can't do it.

BruceSmith78

The Tree of Life and Lost in Translation are two movies that were so maddeningly boring I couldn't finish them.

BruceSmith78

"A few centuries ago, there were plenty of things considered immoral; and nobody within society would have questioned them. Homosexuality, interracial relationships, women who go to work without their husbands' permission..." How did society and morals evolve if nobody within society quest...

BruceSmith78

Boyhood was fucking awful.

The Incredibles is the best Pixar movie ever. If you're gonna include a Pixar film, why include a mediocre one like Inside Out?

I loved The 40 Year Old Virgin, though.

BruceSmith78

I think he means that when you say this woman's actions create monsters, you're removing, or at least discounting, the agency and responsibility of monsters for being monsters. Like anti-SJW's aren't monsters because they're shitty people who don't give a damn about the oppressed and just want to co...

BruceSmith78

I'd add Wu Tang's CREAM to the list. If you pay attention to the lyrics, it's a scathing indictment of how cruel and heartless the world of capitalism can be (and it speaks about racism as well). I remember listening to it in my early 20's when I was living paycheck to paycheck, alone with no safety...

BruceSmith78

Sorry to hear that, Rax.

BruceSmith78

@Gendo's 43, it's not exactly random, although it felt like it in the context of the movie. It's setting up this movie, which I'm kind of looking forward to. That's something I've never said about a Shyamalan flick.

BruceSmith78

I lol'd

BruceSmith78

Thanks, y'all.

Gendo, I blame your post for the Yankees losing yesterday.

BruceSmith78

I think I would have been an atheist no matter when or where I was born and raised. I came to the conclusion that religion, God, and an afterlife were all bullshit without reading any books, reading anything on the internet, or talking to other atheists. I dunno if I'd have rejected slavery though. ...

BruceSmith78

I've brought this up several times on here, and tried to correct incorrect usage of the term pedophile, but it seemed like it was falling on deaf ears, so I gave up. Nobody seems to care about differentiating between the terms child molester and pedophile, and I think the difference is pretty huge.

BruceSmith78

Oh yeah, last I heard the girl was being charged with some shit.

BruceSmith78

To be clear, when I said everybody on the Nazi-punching thread generally agreed regarding free speech, I meant the subtopic that sprouted up around free speech, not the original topic about whether or not it was moral or just or ok or whatever to punch Nazis. There were still plenty of people who th...

BruceSmith78

I think on the Nazi-punching thread everybody ended up being in agreement regarding free speech - it's an important concept, but if we can draft laws that prohibit hate speech without allowing the government to abuse that power by, say, jailing people who laugh at them, then that would be a good thi...

BruceSmith78

That's probably the one, but I thought I remembered a rocket ship. I remember flying to this little planet that had like nothing to do. Maybe I got there through a telescope beam. There was probably a puzzle to solve or something. This was like 5 or 6 years ago and I played for about ten minutes and...

BruceSmith78

I think Hackers also fits in this bucket, but it's very meh. I think it had a cult following at one point, but now it's just a weird, forgettable 90's movie, which played on the idea that the Internet was magic.

BruceSmith78

Sorry, yeah, I probably mean galaxy. You would get on a rocket and fly to this planet where nothing would happen. It was kinda like a less exciting version of Mario 64.

BruceSmith78

I tried the Mario Universe thing and immediately hated it, but I love the 3D world. It's like Kuribo said, it's just like their other platformers but with a 3D environment, which adds a lot of options to the gameplay. I've never played a platformer for its story.

BruceSmith78

Oh, also, Young Guns. I fucking loved that movie when I was in my late teens/early twenties.

BruceSmith78

I dunno if you ever saw this movie, but it fits the bill of what you're looking for and I liked it a lot more than most people. Clive Owen's Arthur embodies a lot of what I try emulate as a leader.

BruceSmith78

Lol, this person summed up my take on that one:

Replying to @kalebhorton
I can't even begin to understand what he wants to mean. There's no one in the oval coming to find him hiding in corners?

BruceSmith78

"I have a great relationship with the blacks."

BruceSmith78

"The beauty of me is that I'm very rich."

BruceSmith78

"I wanted to hit a couple of those speakers so hard. I would have hit them. No, no. I was going to hit them, I was all set and then I got a call from a highly respected governor... I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy."

BruceSmith78

BruceSmith78

Lots of people on my Facebook friends list, many of whom are Latino, support this horse shit. I don't really talk to most of those people though.

BruceSmith78

@opiate Are you interpreting comments in this thread as encouraging or endorsing an "obstructive as possible" policy, or are you commenting in general? Because if it's the former, I wonder to which post you're referring. I don't think citizens expecting police to follow the due process of ...

BruceSmith78

Monk hasn't commented here.

BruceSmith78

I think this is "angels dancing on the head of a pin" territory as to whether it's racism, cultural bias or some other form of hatred. The bottom line is that it's bigotry to malign an entire group of people based on some arbitrary characteristic. I was gonna respond with something like t...

BruceSmith78

Also, I think Iranians are Persians, not Arabs, and technically Arabs and Persians are all white, at least from a genetics perspective, but race as it's applied in racism is really a social construct, so the fact that they're genetically white doesn't matter.

I hate to say it, but I sort of agree with phe de, well at least his first sentence. I don't think racism against caucasians is even worthy of the term. It's like calling a pond an ocean. This is more like statism. However, I think there might be a point to be made that saying countries that don't f...

- I don't know how to feel about the explanation that the enchantress cast a spell of forgetfulness on the whole village. Someone tell me how to feel about that. I felt like Disney watched Everything Wrong with Beauty and the Beast on YouTube and went, "Oh shit, that's right, we should retcon ...

BruceSmith78

If you pour that shit in a cup it's basically interchangeable, especially if you water it down with ice, but if you drink it out of an ice cold can, like it should be consumed, Coke wins hands down.

BruceSmith78

I remember my mother warning me when I was a kid that the "mark of the beast" was going to be microchips implanted in us in precisely this way. A very, very small part of me is terrified she was right. Pretty much this, except I don't think it was my mother, I think it was someone at scho...
