I am. This morning US Marshals tackled a dude on a bike and arrested him in front of my place. Oddly they never Mirandized him.

They don't have to. In fact, it's better for them if they don't, because then if you don't talk, it's considered an admission of guilt because you didn't invoke your right to remain silent.

e: I'm trying to dig up a link because I know this sounds like horseshit, I think it was in USPol but I'm having a little trouble finding it.

The best way I can describe this is The Road Warrior if it was reinterpreted by the people who made Surviving Edged Weapons and animated on a budget of three potato chips and a ball of lint. It kinda owns.

I love it when ridiculous internet slapfights remind me of poo poo I dug when I was in middle school

It has better visuals but its plot is incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't played through the 50+ hour game (even when they added 25 minutes in the Blu-Ray version).

I just watched some movie called Heathers because it was mentioned in the thread without any context at all and it's loving baffling. Like any good Lynch movie, I'm going to have to watch this a couple times over to understand anything about it at all. 5 minutes after watching it, I'm just really confused. I thought I was going in seeing another classic '80's teen movie, but I got something that was absolutely completely insane.

Slater has always been unsettling, but he's basically the loving Joker in this flick. He's absolutely goddamn disturbing in every scene and I'm really impressed by this young Jack Nicholson. It's an absolutely interesting movie. Can anybody give me some insight as to how to synthesize the thing? My loving brain hurts right now.

You went into a really dark comedy that relentlessly mocks 80s teen movies expecting a played-straight 80s teen movie. Heathers loving owns, just go back into it with those expectations in mind.

Speaking of movies that own, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a loving Swiss watch of a movie. Almost every line is either a joke or the setup to a joke, and all of them land perfectly. I think I'd say it's my favorite 80s comedy.

Hypothetical question: if I go to a music festival next month, it would only be for one day because that's all funds will allow for. Which of these, if either, sounds more worth the money: Saturday for Death From Above 1979, 30 Seconds To Mars and Skrillex, or Sunday for Trombone Shorty and Foo Fighters?

The only one of those I've seen before is Skrillex and he puts on an insanely fun show. I've been wanting to see 30 Seconds To Mars for years, but at this point I have a feeling they'll mostly be playing material I don't care about (I like their self-titled more than any of their others and I don't think they play anything off their self-titled anymore :( ).

DFA 1979 is dope as hell and 30 Seconds to Mars and Skrillex both sound like they'd be a lot of fun to see live, whereas I have no clue what a Trombone Shorty is and Foo Fighters is incredibly bland. Go for Saturday.

Go for Friday. Whether or not Riff Raff is worth a drat depends almost entirely on how much of a gently caress he decides to give; I saw him once and he only played about a quarter of a set, forgot his lyrics, and seemed coked out of his mind. Waka, however, I've heard nothing but good about.

Just look at the part where everyone is freezing to death in a locked room but instead of trying to escape we should talk about ICE-9 for ten minutes because we need to foreshadow the ending. Or yeah we need to survive this bizarre death game but hey you know we should really consider the implications of this philosophical concept John Locke came up with right here and now because etc. It is silly, but I will say it really only bothered me when reflecting on the game as a whole.

I mean pretty much all VNs have stupid padding like that, so the genre may just not be for you. Like, for example, Fate/stay night has more text than loving War and Peace and it's mostly descriptions of food.

Fate/stay night is hot garbage that wastes it's premise, though, so

F/sn has some really good bits (pretty much all the action beats in the second route and the entire last third or so of the third route) but yeah, most of it is an unbearable slog and Fate/zero did a way better job with the same premise. I pretty much like it just because, for all of his inability to rein himself in, Nasu is a pretty drat good action writer and it's not that hard to hold control until the "someone bout to get their rear end beat" music starts playing.

That's the real problem with the show; the thing it relies on is its weakness.

I can already tell I'm going to feel the same way about it as I do about Hannibal. Like Gotham, Hannibal has some good ideas and one great actor, but it gets boring after a while when you're seeing what you know already happens played out slooooowly.

I dunno, I feel like Hannibal actually avoids that trap pretty well. It fleshes out Graham a lot more than the book or Manhunter (we will not speak of Red Dragon), and other than both of them being manipulative, erudite cannibals, Mikkelsen's Lecter barely even resembles the iconic version of the character.

I do cut it a lot of slack because it's one of the most beautifully shot things on American TV, though.

Yeah, Fincher's Dragon Tattoo is flawed but it's probably the best version of the story that will ever exist. The thing is, every single aspect of that movie other than the script got knocked out of the loving park, and even the script tried; it's just really hampered by the source material being a pile of poo poo.

Slice of life: an old friend of mine from middle/high school just hit me up out of nowhere to tell me about the amazing acid trip he had where he watched Wizards on mute and listened to Filth by Swans over it. He compared it to the "mind rape" scene from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The best millennial riff on videodrome is the story of you being locked up in a NOLA crackhouse, except we change it so you're locked up so mad scientists can discover the effects of slowly turning you into a catfish, instead of you just being a dumb stupid kid with bad taste in sexual partners they met over the internet.

I want a movie about a catfish kid.
