I don't recall the "pretending" part. IIRC, the speech went "you offer to buy the cow and horse both" or whatever, without ever going into "once you have the horse, you ride it off into the sunset".

Then rewatch it I guess?

This is literally one of the major plot points. In some ways it could be seen as the main it of the movie and it is explicitly stated. It's the literal opposite of a subtle movie moment.

Oh jeez that choice in names must have been on purpose right?

Yes, I thought that was pretty obvious. The dentist/bounty hunter who rooted out the corruption of a man named Candy is pretty much Lit 101 level reading comprehension stuff. Not trying to be rude, it's a movie so things like that can easily get missed, but all the names in the film are pretty descriptive. Django actually means 'I awaken' too, which fits the character's story arc quite well.

Wait is gypsy actually a racist term? Isn't that just what they're called? Have I been unknowingly racist for my entire life?

Yes, No, Yes.

Gypsy was a term applied to them because Europeans thought their dark skin meant they came from Egypt. In actuality their people originated in India and call themselves Romani.

Huh, I had no idea. There aren't too many Romani in Texas.

Gillen still has the same issue on Game of Thrones, because Littlefinger has a very inconsistent accent and intonation.

I agree, but the way it happens also somehow makes him seem slimier and faker, so it really works with the character. Like his accent shifts to try and manipulate whomever he's speaking to. I'm sure it's just him having difficulties with the accent, but it sort of works on a certain level.

I know that I certainly (mostly unconsciously) mask my accent into the General American accent. When I get drunk, or really really mad, or super stressed out though, I get this super Texan accent to everything, and it's awful. I think a lot of times actors have the same problem with their faked accents during long filming days/weeks/months and let it slip now and then, it makes perfect sense.

As long as we are clearing the air, if no one was supposed to get out of the jeeps, why did they have those decorated rest areas?

They didn't want them getting out of the car on their beta version tour with a storm coming. I assume during normal tours, a bathroom/rest area to get out and sit and watch the t-rex come do stuff would make perfect sense. This was just a test run to try and get the park signed off on and they didn't want them to waste a bunch of time with the threat of something bad happening.

It all started when you got all holier than thou about people discussing the movie because it's a 'children's movie'. Nobody cares about people pointing out that the movie isn't high art, it was just the way you went all :spergin: about other people caring to discuss it.

But they don't, and that's the point. The Protector was based on fictional science, not functional science. For things like the ship's controls that's no problem; it's just a different way to use technology they probably already had. Inventing technology to match what they'd seen in the show is also OK because that's finding a solution to a presented problem. But to create a functioning Omega-13 on the basis of a schematic without knowing what it does would mean that the writers of the show had actually designed a functioning Omega-13.

Probably because it's fiction.

Like it's ok that it's irritating, and we should talk about that, but there is no satisfying answer so its weird to ask for one.

I'm still not clear on why the whipped cream would make the strudel non-kosher.

Cream (dairy fat) is not always kosher. There are two types of cream: sweet cream, which is derived from milk (and is kosher), and whey cream, which is derived from cheese-making. Whey cream is often non-kosher, and the cream in many dairy products can be in the form of pure whey cream or a blend of sweet cream and whey cream.

OK, so I haven't seen any of the Avengers movies, or any MCU movies outside of Iron Man 1. I just wanted to ask a very small question... Why the hell does Thanos want to wipe out everyone? Is there any sort of real, understandable-but-still-bad motivation there?

In the comics it's because he wants to gently caress the literal embodiment of Death.

In the MCU movies, it's because one time his planet had some overpopulation issues so he's gonna halve the galaxy to fix it forever.


Yes, somehow. the second one does make less sense than the first.

Maybe, but what ME says is "advanced bios will make synths that will wipe out all bios so we need synths that wipe out bios before they can make synths that wipe out bios."

There's no guarantee the newest synths would win, the geth got demolished pretty easily. Then bio life is pre-prejudiced to kill synth life like the reapers.

It hangs together pretty well. And I'm definitely not an ME fanboy.

My favorite story about this is a bunch of scientists put up bird nets to catch and count small birds, like you do, but they'd come back and the nets would be empty. So they set up cameras, and sure enough they were catching little birds, but then deer would walk by and just start chomping down on the helpless birds when they figured out that they couldn't get away.
