Shit! I didn't bring a knife.

I don't think this is really irrational at all, but here goes: my wofe and watching the live action Aladdin amd yikes. Aladdin is my favorite Disney movie and I'm not feeling the changes.

They wrecked the best song in the movie, "One Jump Ahead."

In the original I always liked the part when Aladdin tries to make a bridge for Jasmine on the rooftop and she just casually pole vaults over. In this one she's scared and can't do it till Aladdin coaxes her.

And in the original after Aladdin saves the street orphans from the prince's horse, the prince insults him and knocks him down and as he rides away Aladdin says "Look Abu, it's not every day you see a horse with two rear ends!" and they don't even put it in the movie!

And we're only 30 minutes in!

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I love the music made for Quentin Tarantino movies. Especially songs like Across 110th Street, Twisted Nerve, Theme from Ironside, L’Arena, Regan's Theme (Floating Sound) and who could possibly forget The Flower of Carnage 修羅の花?

I've been in a Danish mall that had a sex shop. Wasn't hidden or anything. On plain view right as you came up the escalator to the second floor. Huge window with mannequins in bondage gear and crotchless panties. Even had some dildos and other toys in the window.

The next store over was I think a Levi's.


The Danes are not a shy people

That.s pretty normal though? This is an ad for a norwegian sex shop out in plain sight for example:

I don’t remember that, but Kanye did legitimately discover this crusty dude from Cornwall, England who plays the piano. He got featured on “Blame Game”.

He’s called Pinnacle Gemini, I believe!

A page late, but the best part of The Dark World is Thor hanging Mjolinir on a coat rack.

Closely followed by Thor taking the tube, and Mjolinir trying to get back to Thor who keeps getting teleported halfway across the universe. Everytime it changes direction I saw a comic thought bubble saying 'oh for fucks sake'

Same. I still think Ragnarok is the best Marvel movie but there were a couple things that jolted me in that IIMM way, including that one and the repeated use of "inspiring speech, music swells, hero does a pratfall".

Neil Gaiman didn’t want to write about Jesus all the time in American Gods, so there are countless minor “personal Jesuses” running around divvying up all the belief juice that the gods run on. The old gods can also co opt other concepts and forms of devotion and sacrifice to keep going.

But it doesn’t feel like enough for me. Like 700 Club dominionist rear end in a top hat Jesus should be both able and extremely willing to kick the rear end of every old god.

i didnt watch the show but in the book its explained that there is 1 jesus per continent/country. like theres a europe jesus and an american jesus and they get a sick amount of prayers then theres the middle east jesus who sucks and cant do poo poo. the same with odin. the american odin and loki get garbo prayers because they were created by the vikings who obviously left. the euro odin does alright but is by no means powerful and doesnt really gaf.

not that there is 1 jesus for every subsect but now i wanna watch a movie where thats the case and they battle that poo poo out like in the third matrix keanu vs smith fight.

Shadow is revealed to be Odin's son in the book, and specifically Baldur(Balder Moon) in a short story collected in Fragile Things.

It would've been fine for the rank and file hordes of bodies part of the army. As with any RTS game, they start tapering off when they start bringing in something beyond basic infantry like the giant landscaping wheel drills and the Black Order.

I just watched Endgame myself, finally, and they do do that at the final battle. The camera pulls away from Stark and Roadie just as they go back to back to do just that move.

The 60's had the Moon landing, Charles Manson, and Woodstock to tact their symbolic ending onto.

Nixon was solidly in the metaphoric and actual 70's

68 is what really did it. People were kinda recovered from JFK and there was a lot of hope built up around MLK and RFK and then when they were both assassinated in the span of just a few months really put an end to those hopes for a lot of people. If you had a time machine and wanted to make an attempt to change the trajectory of the country April-June of 1968 might be the best place to start.
