And I think the visceral responses are based on kneejerk reactions to concepts which at a cursory glance seem to imply that personal accomplishments may not be so personal after all. Which of course...

Yeah, that's sorta the point. Basic concepts speak for themselves, so they they don't have to be 'argued for' when people go into full denial-mode. Or maybe somebody else is willing to argue against...

Funny how such rudimentary sociological concepts can evoke such visceral responses in people. Also noteworthy that these responses always seem to come from one specific demographic corner. And nope,...

Well, there's always Trump. He's gonna build a wall from ocean to ocean AND have the Mexicans pay for it. #:wub:facevonclownstick2016

First America gets rid of a loathsome hateflag, now it's affording its citizens with basic civil rights. Is America's longstanding marriage with bigotry finally starting to show cracks?

You might want to postpone your vacation plans. Looks like Daesh is looking for some payback.

Almost every shot I saw looked 100% CG to me. One or two scenes where the director was forced to use a practical effect isn't going to negate the other 98% of fakery.

Oh, in that case it's...

The reason why the original Jurassic Park looked so good is because it just perfectly blended animatronics with CG. It didn't just look good, but it "felt" real. It's been two decades since that film...

Yes, having opinions is "weird" and "insane". Especially when you don't share them. Silly Torment...

Well, I'm just glad you left the theatre satisfied. As you can imagine, I didn't. Regardless, when the hype passes and the inevitable backlash happens, I'll be there, shouting "I told you so" through...

Nolan? As in Christopher Nolan? I don't get that comparison. Yes, Nolan's movies are flawed, but he definately has a style to him. The cinematography is always great in his movies, he's learned to...

Lol where did I say I'm giving anything more than my opinion? And where do I pretend I'm someone of importance? I don't give a rats ass how much weight people give to my opinions. Do whatever the...

Lol, so I have to work in the industry now to be entitled to an opinion? Hilarious.

12 years a slave had a smart script, beautiful cinematography, great acting (particularly Lupita Nyong'o), great pacing, great sound design etc. It was in all aspects a well-made movie. Only insecure...

Lol if you want to call me out no need to be so gutless about it. And no, I'm fine with filmmakers trying new things, but if it's a boring piece of crap with no style to it, I'm going to call it a...

Boyhood is a pretentious piece of :wub:, devoid of any style. Yes it's innovative, but regardless it was boring and annoying to follow that stupid kid around for four hours. Call me an old-fashioned...

It really isn't. But you're entitled to your wrong opinion.

I'd also be fine with Keaton winning, Birdman was great. Eddie Redmayne was also great, but I always find actors portraying compelling...

Ridiculous that Selma only got two nominations. Easily the most gripping movie I've seen all year. It's even better than 12 Years a Slave in my opinion. Especially the fact Duvernay was snubbed for...

Really cool show. I wonder if they shoot all the episodes in advance or actually go through the trouble of shooting them week by week. The whole thing seems interactive enough that I wouldn't be...

What is different between acknowledging someone's chosen identity and aiding in base self-mutilation? Clinically, not much. But then again, I don't measure someone's humanity with a scalpel.

Not for the sake of consistency, for the sake of sophistry. But you go ahead and ponder such existential queries, I'm sure we'll all find the results to be fascinating.

And again, what's the point? Even if surgery isn't the best "solution" (the very word in this context is objectionable in my opinion, but let's play with it), what are the implications? Should we...

What's the point of classifying transgenderism as anything except for academic purposes? The whole thing is nothing short of sophistry by bigots trying to mask their bigotry. In the end it's none of...

Lol, you're crazy. The ending was exactly what it needed it to be. Yeah some of it felt a little rushed, but that's what you get when you try to squeeze a three act story into a thirteen episode...

I always thought the Korrasami thing was just a joke, but now? Damn...

Colour me impressed. No sarcasm. I'm too proud and too stubborn to admit this convinces me that race isn't an issue in these matters, but you've obiously done your homework on this issue. I'd rep you...

If baiting people = petulant musings to you, then sure. Aside from that you reminded me of nothing.
If you're addressing my posts, then I assume you're also addressing my points.

...

Professional? Are we supposed to get paid for this? If so, where is the Human Resources department, it seems I've got some outstanding paychecks to collect.

And again, the outrage isn't about...

Anyway, we've established that the boys in blue are allowed to shoot and choke black people, so let's turn this into a little experiment. Let's see how creative the police can be. So what's next...

And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust!

As long as it isn't Cumberbatch I'm open to anything.

If I lived in a country where I had to suffer through a cuisine as terrible as the Swiss every day of the week, I'd likely eat my cat too.

Of course noone is declaring anyone guilty until proven innocent, but you keep on building those strawmen. Make sure you dress him nice and warm, it's starting to get chilly outside.

If only there was a way one could try to find answers to such questions and uncertainties in some sort of organized fashion. I swear, it's on the tip of my tongue. An investigution? No, that's not...

I don't know, I'm pretty sure this whole thing started with mass protests by young people with green, white and black flags. They looked pretty Syrian to me. Something about an Arab Spring. But...

No, but I do like broccoli. And I think men shouldn't wear jewellery. Anything else you wish to derive from my posts that I neither said nor implied?

Oh well that changes everything. Is there also an article in this constitution which says women have the right to be buried in the same mass graves as men? Do they get to have their fingernails...

What about them?

Well, I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of people who died at the hands of Assad's thugs will be glad to hear that.

If this requires cheerleading for a fascist regime then apparantly yes.
