If it were somehow possible, I would live in the 90s forever.

My problem with the 80s is that people who grew up during that time are middle aged now so media is geared toward them, as though "being a kid" is synonymous with that decade.

Hip hop only got good in the 90s. There are a few exceptions but most rap before that decade is pretty terrible.

I didn't say rappers back then weren't influential or essential to the development of the art form, but as anything other foundation, to listen to in this day and age, it's just kind of silly.

Lencho posted:Your favorite band is Hollywood Undead. Well, they used to be. I hated their last album for the most part. Now I'd be more likely to say my favorite band is Blue Oyster Cult, the Black Keys, Mindless Self Indulgence, or Tub Ring. As far as metal goes I like doom metal a lot, like Electric Wizard or Uncle Acid, though I grew up liking more power stuff like Dragonforce and Hammerfall. Nile is some good poo poo too, and I think their death? I have a hard time distinguishing between death and black metal. JoshTheStampede posted:Genres change and that's good but it's not like you have to like every iteration of every genre. I like old-rear end country music but can't stand New Country, for example. God, yes. I can think of a few songs labeled country that I like but even they don't feel country at all. Johnny Cash is where's loving at man.

Travis343 posted:You guys talking about country music should check out Old Crow Medicine Show or the Steeldrivers, not everything being recorded this century is crossover friendly garbage designed to let people in red states who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year feel like they're still redneck. Oooh, I'm listening to Steeldrivers now and like it a lot. Thanks!

So, according to my profile, later this month'll be like, my anniversary for getting an account here. It's kind of stupid but for the last few years SA has been a real net positive in my life, despite the bumps. Which, while maybe not always my fault, I can definitely say mistakes were made on my part, there's always room to improve A friend of mine bought me the account in 2013 and since it, and especially BSS, have been kind of a go to place for me, every day. I like a lot of the people here too. The simple pleasure of interacting with people here, mixing thoughts and opinions, and just reading all the threads full of information about topics I care about is really nice. So like, I just appreciate it and stuff. Good use of my time.

Madkal posted:I never heard of the Dave Sim challenge to box Jeff Smith so I went digging a bit and yowzers. What kind of blows my mind is how Sim says he is unemotional and then talks about how he can't let a challenge go least those dastardly feminists win and he doesn't show that he is a true man. People who constantly point out how logical they are always end up being the most emotional fuckwits.

Not most common flavors maybe, but people are inventive and dumb enough that all together there's probably more bad than not, like with pizza toppings.

DrProsek posted:If Chris Claremont has taught me anything, cannon Big Two comics and porn aren't mutually exclusive, especially if nobody is paying attention because you're printing money. When I'm a famous comic book writer, I'm going to introduce the world to my superhero The Hoboken Squat Cobbler AKA Simple Simon the rear end Man. His power is that he sits in pies. Sometimes, when he needs a boost in strength, he cries.

So as to not derail the Heartwarming thread more, I'll say it here: Absolutely everything that has ever carried the name "Starship Troopers" has sucked, so, so bad. Except maybe the 90s animated series.

I'm not like, angry, but I don't know, it's the chat thread, maybe we could discuss the merits and failings of the franchise or something. Idk I'm not paying for billboards across the nation declaring "THIS THING SUCKS AND ANYONE WHO LIKES IT IS WRONG".

I'm not a fascist either way. The movie more accurately bends to my beliefs, more so than the fetishistic militarism of the book anyway, I just don't find it funny and don't care for political tracts of any kind.

Senior Woodchuck posted:I've not read the book Starship Troopers, but I'm not a big fan of the movie. The "satire" is isolated chunks that, to me, aren't particularly well done, and the rest never rises above Hollywood cliche. In charitable moments I can accept that Verhoeven was reaching for some biting social commentary, but I don't think he got there. Thank you! Now see, I like Robocop, it's a good action movie and funny satire.

He's not a really terrible person, just kind of...dumb as gently caress? His racism, while obviously harmful, isn't hateful in intent, and that's a blessing considering where I live. He's old and real uneducated, but it's kind of endearing when he needs help spelling and poo poo because he can barely read.

Rhyno posted:The Burton Batmobile had dual machine guns that clearly fired real bullets and that was in 1989. Yeah, but Burton's Batman also set random mooks on fire and smiled as they horribly burned to death. Just as much a gross mischaracterization. I'm someone who thinks Batman's wrong for not killing, but that doesn't mean it's not a lovely interpretation of the existing character.

Chaos Hippy posted:I've been forced to accept that movie Batman will always be more comfortable with killing (directly or indirectly,) than comic book Batman. I'm never going to be comfortable with it, but I doubt it'll ever change. Something about movies seems to make it inevitable. It helps that movies are episodic before reboots so they don't have to come up with the excuse to keep villains around. There's also something about the action movie DNA-I think there was an article on ComicsAlliance that talked about it. Roth posted:I wish I had more of a backbone on Tumblr. Do it impulsively without thinking. lovely people don't deserve you. Mr Hootington posted:There is. Lot to unpack here.  You got that right. Jesus.
