Is Lemmy on a Robocop kick atm?
I just watched the movies again last week for the first time since they came out. I’ve seen at least one Robocop post per day this week but four in the top 30 on All tonight alone.
At first I thought I had a bad case of Baader-Meinhof syndrome, but I feel like there’s another Lemmy thing going on.
Wayward Pines. Great concept but then they basically explained everything in a handful of episodes and took the whole mystery out of it. Also, some of the acting was terrible.
In some ways, Silo is its spiritual successor but without
monsters.
It corrects for those mistakes and sustains the mystery.
Another one I’d like to see redone or relaunched, West World. Incredible first season. Nothing left in the writer’s tank after that. That first season was so good though that I don’t think it can be rebooted.
“Ow My Balls!” from Idiocracy.
You were both made to laugh and at the same time be the point of the joke for laughing.
David Mamet’s “Heist”. Fantastic story, dialogue, and acting.
So many great one-liners.
“Your weight or your fate!”
“Everybody needs money. That’s why they call it ‘money’”.
And I might as well just link to the quotes page because there’s too many.
Long shot but it could be a sign of iron deficiency. Eating, smelling and licking odd things like paper, erasers, I’ve heard of these associations. I even read about a woman who would spend her lunch hour smelling the concrete in the stairwell. Turned out to be iron deficiency.
“Detachable Penis” was on that disc!
So many great songs and bands on there.
From personal experience, the problem is that you use it ironically, maybe with your kids or buddies, and it’s fun for a time.
Then one day you realize you’ve fully adopted it and you look in the mirror and ask yourself “What happened to you, bro?”
I just saw him in that Homicide episode mentioned in the article.
Homicide shares a universe with Law & Order so now I’m wondering if he was the same character when he did SVU.
Incredible, haven’t laughed like that in a while!
Came here for this. Yes, not a good person in real life from what I’ve read.
Also, terrible, wooden in so many movies. And yet, perfectly played his role in The Departed. So much so that I didn’t think it could be him at first.
The shadow of a shadow of a shadow warrior.
I’m with you. That arcade game is the reason why I spent the time to discover MAME many years ago.
“Looking for a Place to Happen” was the song that brought me back to them after decades.
Ya but that’s why I only drain one ball at a time.
Pretty close to the scene in The Changeling (1980)
You say tom8o tom@o, I say tom8to tom@to.
“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”
3Camels was, maybe still is, fully dependent on the Amazon affiliate program. A program that was reduced at one point, killed off 3Camels competitors, but not 3Camels. Then Amazon asked them to stop tracking during Covid for a time which they did.
This is around the time that I heard about Keepa which has a different model, not solely Amazon but other stores too, and not paid via affiliates program.
Also it’s just faster. 3Cs was getting super slow to notify. You’d get an email, click and surprise, that sale was over yesterday.
I probably heard about the controversy on Reddit at the time but there’s a chance I found this site here which covers some of my recollections.
For the international crowd, “cunt” is considered a stronger swear word here in Canada than it is in the UK. It’s not thrown around causally.
Just to show you what we think of Hoek-tuah
